Good to know
Arrive on time—tours depart promptly and latecomers forfeit their booking. Public transport is nearby; plan your journey accordingly. Children under 5 don't receive meals or drinks. The Opera House may have venue closures due to performances, so access to dining spots can shift until tour departure.
