5.00The tour was absolutely perfect, exactly what we wanted for a quick tour covering the highlights of Sydney. We covered a lot of ground in the limited time we had but saw everything we wanted to see. Julian was exceptional, very knowledgeable and accommodating to our questions and needs. He gave us suggestions for things we could do in the afternoon on our own. Thank you!
Liz was great

5.00My husband and I had an amazing private tour of Sydney with Liz. We highly recommend her! She was knowledgable, friendly, and lots of fun! She showed us the amazing highlights of Sydney and shared lots of interesting facts and details. Her vast experience and knowledge made the tour better than we could have imagined. She made sure to accommodate any requests we had and gave us fun facts and details. She took us right to the sites so no time was wasted trying to park or having to walk far distances. Our flight had been delayed the prior day, and Steve from Runaway Tours was so accommodaing to help change the timing of the tour. This was a fun way to experience Sydney and we highly recommend Liz and Runaway Tours.
Liz is an excellent tour guide! Request her!

5.00Once again, Viatour, and its service providers, were a delight to be with. They are so experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had Julian for our trip. He was a joy to be with and showed us so much, and talked to us so much about life and people in Sydney. He moved here when he was 11 from Italy. We had a great experience! We love Sydney but not enough time as we are only here for 1-1/2 days.
