It was fascinating to learn about the history of the opera house also, it was great to be able to go inside and look around and take a look at the Symphony hall.

It was a worthwhile experience to see a listed heritage icon. The guided tour was an insight to a real work if architecture and genius. Facility for the challenged and less mobile people to tour the inside is awesome

It wasn’t that wonderful. If I returned to Sydney with friends and they wanted to do the tour, I would bow out. My husband loved it, though, and it makes me happy when he’s happy. So there’s that. :/
