About this tour
Step behind the scenes of Sydney's most recognisable landmark with a private evening tour, then settle in for dinner with harbour views. Your guide leads you through the Opera House's theatres and foyers during the quiet hours before performances begin, followed by a two-course meal at either Bennelong or Midden by Mark Olive, paired with Australian wine or beer. The whole experience runs three hours from late afternoon, giving you the building's architecture up close and a proper feed with the sails as your backdrop.
