Excellent efficient tour - learned a lot about the opera house in one hour. The best thing is my child remembers some of the facts.

The walk in Tour was great and within the stipulated time, we could understand the history, construction, trials and tribulations in construction, and about performers. worth a visit.
We advise not to take the Combo tour with Lunch. We could have better lunch with that money at the Restuarant of our choosing.
