5.00I booked this tour for my parents during their visit to Sydney, and they had an absolutely lovely day out. Their guide, Joe, was warm, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable — they couldn’t stop talking about how much they learned! They felt well looked after and said Joe’s love for Sydney really shone through. Highly recommend this experience, especially for older travellers looking for a relaxed and informative day.

5.00We really had a good time with Julian. He is very nice guy. He is willing to take pictures of us and tell us anything we want to know. He is also very patient waiting for us to take some pictures here and there 😄. I would recommend Runaway Tours for your private tour in Sydney.
Great all inclusive way...

Sydney Airport Pick up and City Tour

5.00We were a group of 7 adults. We were picked up at the airport, including a full-day city tour. Our guide/driver was Chris. Chris was a very knowledgeable, caring, thoughtful, and kind host on our first-day visit to Sydney. We learned a lot of information as he bombarded us with Australia's history, industry, statistics, real estate, and politics. One of our friends left his bag in the van after he dropped us at the hotel. He was so kind, drove back to the hotel, and returned the bag. We sincerely appreciate him. We highly recommend Runaway Tours and Chris.
