We enjoyed a fun day seeing Australia’s wonderful animals. Our favorites were the Kuala Bears and Kangaroos. Then we headed to the Blue Mountains. Beautiful view, a nice bite to eat at a little restaurant. The. Back to more views of the Blue Mountains from several overlooks. Glen our tour guide for the day was a wonderful guide, and would recommend this tour and Glen as a guide
Charlie our tour guide made this a fabulous trip. He is well experienced since he lives in the area. Charlie was delightful as a conversational and knowledgeable guide and he customized our day skillfully avoiding weather challenges and optimizing the day for our interests and capabilities .

There are many tour operators to Blue Mountains. We selected Runaway because we were looking for private tour and we like the suggested itinerary. We had an amazing time visiting Featherdale Wildlife Park and Blue Mountains with Liz! Liz is friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and professional. When we were at Featherdale, she offered to wait in line for photo with koala for our family while we strolled through the front part of the wildlife park. We also learned many history and fun facts of Australia, Sydney, and Blue Mountains. We enjoyed hitting charming towns and walking down trails that lead to breathtaking, panoramic views of sandstone cliffs, as well as iconic rock formations. Thank you Liz and Runaway Tours Sydney for the awesome day trip!

This was a wonderful trip. The Wildlife Park was a lot of fun. I fed so many kinds of Kangaroos and saw a Tasmania Devil as well as an aquidna. My guide Glenn was friendly and knowledgeable about everything we saw. He really made this a great experience.
Hi there. We are very pleased that Glenn showed you a great time on your private Blue Mountains tour. The wildlife park certainly is a highlight for a lot of our guests.

Julian was our tour guide and did a terrific job. His insights on the sites we visited were fun and educational.
Thank you Julian for this wonderful day! You guided us safely and deeply relaxed through this trip with lots of knowledge, wit and charm. Our stay at Featherdale Wildlife Park was beautiful, partly because you gave us the time it took to admire all the animals sufficiently. Showed us nice corners in Blue Mountains Park, so we didn't mind the rain either. It's a great day!
Saw interesting things. Enjoyed our trip to to the Australian animal zoo. Like the views from the top of the blue Mountains. Would’ve liked to have done the tram ride down to the valley to see the things down there, but it wasn’t included in our tour.
We cannot say enough about the wonderful visit to Featherdale Wild Life park. It was a dream come true to touch a koala, feed kangaroos and wallabies! The tour of the majestic views Blue Mountains was outstanding Thank you so much to our extremely knowledgeable guide Glenn! We would highly recommend!
We made two excursions: Blue Mountains and Sydney city. Everything organized to perfection by Stive title of the agency Runaway Tours, which entrusted us to the Italian-speaking guide / driver, Bianca. In both we found great seriousness, competence, organization, preparation, availability and sympathy! I don't think there's a better way to visit Sydney. We spent two wonderful days in the wonderful city ... Bianca and Steve did nothing but make it even more special! Thank you all!
Glenn was our guide and he was fantastic. We had so much fun! I highly recommend this tour. The wildlife refugee was terrific. We had plenty of interaction with the animals. We had a great lunch in a small town in the blue mountains frequented by locals. And that’s always the way to go. The rock formations were spectacular. Having the right guide always makes the tour and Glenn certainly didn’t disappoint. And I have to say after taking two tours with Runaway Tours in Sydney I wouldn’t even consider coming to Sydney again without contacting Steve the owner to set up my itinerary. Stop what you’re doing and book a runaway tour while it’s on your mind. You won’t regret it!
