Great tour and Cruise Dropoff

5.00Andrew was a terrific guide for our half-day tour of Sydney before getting on our cruise in the afternoon. He showed us the city and accommodated my wife’s mobility issues while allowing me to get in some steps and flights of stairs. Would definitely recommend and use again if we are cruising out of Sydney.

5.00We spent a delightful day in Sydney with our driver/guide, Julian. Besides being a skilled driver, he’s also a great conversationalist. Our private tour was customized to suit our interests and abilities. Should we have occasion to be in Sydney again, we will enthusiastically book another tour with Runaway Tours.
Fantastic

5.00Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on the city sites and history. We would have spent 3 day locating and visiting the sites we saw in one day. It was well worth the price. He was flexible and arranged for us to take an unplanned ferry ride. We had a very nice lunch with great beach view. Again, a fantastic experience. We are recommending it to our son, who will be here in September.

5.00It was a perfect experience. There were seven of us in and 8-seater van: two somewhat elderly, two parents of and with three kids 9,8 and 5. Liz was our wonderful, cheerful and accommodating driver and never failed to deliver. We were able to adapt the destinations a bit, the timing a lot (herding three kids was tricky!) and we even got to walk over the Harbour Bridge, swim (kids) at Shelley Beach. visit the Opera House, among many highlights. Unfailingly cheerful and adaptable Liz was the best! AND a great driver!! I cannot recommend this company, and trip,enough: I'm an Aussie, the little family were from the UK and we all were thrilled. EVEN THE KIDS!! AWESOME experience
Excellent tour

5.00We truly enjoyed our full day private tour with Liz! Since it was our second day in Sydney, we were able to modify our stops to fit our needs. Highly recommend this fun and informative tour!
Joe is the best!

5.00Joe was a brilliant driver and very adept in terms of knowledge and little known tidbits of information. Joe enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed his tour. Timely and always punctual on pick ups and drop offs. If you book a tour in Sydney ask for Joe. Highly recommend.
Great tour if you are departing from a cruise ship and it is too early to check into your hotel.

5.00Our tour guide, Glenn, was very knowledgeable on the area. We drove down small streets to interesting places with great history and fantastic views that only locals know about. You definitely see more of what you want to see on a private tour than a group tour! This tour was perfect for my wife and me.
