Fantastic behind the scenes look at QPAC. You get to see the areas not normally open to the public and learn more about our world class performing arts centre. Highly recommended.

Gary was Fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and the tour was amazing. Kids (10 & 13) loved it too and I'd highly recommend it. We will be doing another one!
