What travelers are saying
The tour provided us a great understanding of Sydney's layout, highlighting the top stops to see. Our guide, Joe, was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. The half day was just the right amount of time to see the top sights without feeling rushed.
We had a wonderful experience with Runaway Tours despite unexpected delays. Our cruise ship’s arrival in Sydney was delayed by a full day due to severe weather, but Steve, the owner, and our guide Danny went out of their way to accommodate us. They adjusted the schedule and arranged a late pickup at the cruise terminal, ensuring we still enjoyed our tour. Danny was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience seamless. We truly appreciated their professionalism and flexibility. Highly recommend Runaway Tours for anyone visiting Sydney!
