Highly recommended for families with kids! My daughter especially loved the SEA LIFE Aquarium experience. She’s a big fan of sea animals, and it was such a joy seeing her enjoy and learn at the same time. The pass is a great way to explore multiple attractions and get the best value.

Taking the guided tour of the Sydney Opera House was an unforgettable experience that truly brought this architectural masterpiece to life. While its striking sails are breathtaking from the outside, stepping inside reveals an even deeper level of beauty, history, and innovation. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and full of fascinating stories — from the challenges of its construction to insights into performances that have graced its stages. We explored several of the main performance halls, and walked through areas not usually open to the public. The tour provided a real appreciation for both the artistry and engineering behind the Opera House. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a performing arts lover, or just curious about one of the world’s most iconic buildings, this tour is well worth your time.

I spent a day on this tour during my Sydney trip and it was truly satisfying. From the morning pickup to the itinerary, everything was systematically managed, so I could enjoy it comfortably. At Featherdale Wildlife Park, I was thrilled to see koalas and kangaroos up close. The view of the Blue Mountains was much grander than the pictures I had seen, and the cable car and railway at Scenic World were thrilling and fun. The guide explained everything in detail and took good care of the photo spots in between, so I had a fulfilling day. If you visit Sydney, I highly recommend it!

Kelvin is a very passionate and helpful guide and he has even taken the extra effort to type down the translations into English from Korean for us. The secret spot was beautiful and we got to see many stars too.
