Get up close to the iconic Sydney Opera House, and don't miss the opportunity for a once in a lifetime photo with one of the wonders of the modern world.

Excellent tour in time available. I wish I had booked more project expedition tours, but there was a shortage of ones listed as shore excursions. Lots of the in-town ones looked more interesting. Instead we rented cars in multiple places, and handled driving on the left, but could have used a knowledgeable guide.

Excellent tour guide; maybe to much time on similar vistas east of town, better spent some time over the bridge n of town.
