Top 4 Shore Excursions in Sydney

1.Sydney Shore Excursion: Sydney Opera House Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 160 reviews · from $34Our pick

Tour the Sydney Opera House in a small group, hear its dramatic construction story, visit performance spaces, and get practical cruise-port tips.

“It’s a quick and delightful experience! There is a bag check area for your bags. I believe bags the size of a fanny pack or larger need to be checked in for the tour. You can take pictures of the main foyers/common areas but NO PICTURES are allowed or the performance halls themselves. Tour guide will emphasize this. Everyone receives headphones to listen to during the tour. It’s brilliant since you’ll be able to hear the tour guide regardless if you’re next to him or all the way in the back of the group. Great history breakdown with an excellent tour guide. Absolutely worth doing.”
