Awesome tour🐨🦘 thanks to you Jen !!
This was an absolutely wonderful day - Jen made every moment interesting and fun - from feeding the kangaroos and getting a photo with the koalas - we appreciated seeing so many native Australian animals, it was beautiful. The Sydney Opera House tour was amazing as well, incredible story and history. Thank you Jen for making the day so special ❤️

Great Day!!!
Andrew was very delightful from the first moment we met. Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, kind, great driver. We enjoyed the opportunity to tour the opera house and tour all around the city.
Response from the operator: Hi there Thank you for taking the time to write a great review about your private Opera House and Animals tour with Andrew. He certainly knows his Wombats from his Dingbats! To see the inside of the Opera House and hear the tales of its construction is also a fantastic experience, so it's great you had a wonderful time all round. Happy Travels Cheers, Steve Arnerich Owner Runaway Tours, Sydney

Roos and Opera
Bettina was an amazing guide. She knew so much about the animals and since we got there early we had plenty of time to feed the Kangaroos and take a photo with the Koala. Opera house was incredible.
Response from the operator: Hi Tasha We are very pleased that Bettina showed you a great time on your private Opera House and Animals tour. She certainly knows what will kill you and what will cuddle you at our wildlife park! Hope the Koala time was magic. The Opera House is certainly a true icon of Sydney We really appreciate you taking the time to write a great review and we hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Australia Happy travels, Steve Arnerich Owner Runway Tours

Excellent. We were able...
Excellent. We were able to be up close with many animals including kangaroos, koalas, and others. Julian was our guide and was wonderful and told us all about Sydney. The 2nd part at the Opera House was very informative. Great way to spend an afternoon in Sydney.
Response from the operator: Hi Sherry We are very pleased that Julian showed you a great time on your private Sydney Opera House and Animals tour. The animals are great to get up close and personal with and it really is a highlight of visiting Australia. You also can't beat an inside tour of the Sydney Opera House as an iconic global destination! We really appreciate you taking the time to write a great review and we hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Australia Happy travels, Steve Arnerich Owner Runway Tours

Perfect Day with Andrew
We got picked up by Andrew, who was very prompt, and was very friendly from the start making us happy to have him as our tour guide. On our way to Ferndale he told us and pointed out so much of Australia's history. He had a great sense of humor as well. When we got to Ferndale we could tell he was quite at home and very familiar with the animals and staff. We had a private in depth tour of the park and got up close and personal with many of the animals. He watched the time carefully to make sure we got to the Opera House on time. He explained so many details of the Opera House before our tour began. When we got to the Opera House he personally escorted us in to make sure we got to the correct location and even explained our shortest route back to the hotel. We would love to have Andrew for all of our Tours. He was just fabulous!! Thank you Andrew!!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Opera House and Aussie Animals Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
