Itinerary
The Tour & Dine bundles the Sydney Opera House 1-hour tour with a meal at one of their harbourside restaurants - Opera Bar, House Canteen, or Midden by Mark Olive. The story of the Opera House rivals any dramatic opera for plot twists and jaw dropping cliff-hangers. Step inside and explore beyond the magnificent sails to hear the stories behind Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s remarkable design. On this one-hour guided tour you’ll discover the intricate workings of a living, breathing icon. After the tour enjoy a meal at one of our dining venues located besides the famous sails and with some of the best views in Sydney including your choice of main meal from a selection and a drink: wine, beer, or soft drink. Enjoy your main meal and drink at either; House Canteen or Opera Bar between 1130am - 6pm by redeeming your ticket stub at the bar, or Midden by Mark Olive between 1130am-230pm for lunch, or 5-6pm for dinner by presenting you ticket to the waitstaff before being seated.

3Great tour, terrible dining experience!
This review only reflects the dining experience, the tour itself was wonderful and educational. The dining experience at Midden felt like a bait and switch. You are only allowed certain menu items and you will only be sat in certain parts of the restaurant. That was unexpected, but fine. It’s a package deal, understood. What was unexpected is we did not feel welcome at all. We were embarrassed to be there after a few moments because we were left to find our own table with our cutlery and glasses in hand. The bar manager eventually found us a table, which was lovely. The meal was small, but plated well. We were never checked upon, never offered water. We just left after eating because it was clear no one else would attend to us. All this to say, don’t do the dining experience. We said that we’d laugh about this one in a few years.
5Excellent experience with spectacular views
Arrive on time, there are multiple tours happening at the same time. And while you can check bags etc, I’d advise people to not arrive with their life in a backpack.

5Very cool experience,...
Very cool experience, tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and nice. The infrastructure and architecture of the building is amazing to learn about. Would have liked to watch a show, but the opera house was booked out 3 weeks in advance, so if you want to watch a performances make sure to book early!

About Sydney
Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.
The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.
