We had an absolutely perfect day with Glenn and this tour. Glenn picked our group of 9 up promptly and the van was a perfect size for us. We stopped off at a park where we saw 2 mobs of kangaroos in the wild and even saw 2 males boxing. How amazing! We headed off to our next stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park which was yet another amazing experience. We were able to get up close in person with so many different animals. As the skies opened with rain, here came Glenn with umbrellas for everyone. It absolutely did not dampen our experience. As we headed out to the Blue Mountains, the weather was not ideal, but Glenn made it perfect. We went to one lookout and he evaluated the situation with fog so we ended up eating lunch and by the time we were done the fog had lifted. Lunch was absolutely delicious in the small town of Leura. A few more stops to take in the gorgeous mountains were spot on. We can’t say enough about our day and experience. It’s a day of memories that will forever live on with us.
Hi Monika That's amazing that you saw the kangaroos boxing! That does not happen on every tour, so you were very lucky with that. As for Glenn showing you the best time, that is one of his many talents and it's great he was prepared for all weather and timed the views and lunch just perfectly for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to write a great review and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Australia Happy travels, Steve Arnerich Owner Runway Tours
Steve, trip coordinator, clearly communicated with me as soon as we booked our trip. Bettina, our guide, made our trip so wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable and addressed the needs of all our family. Every detail was thought out and the entire experience was seamless. My husband, son (13), mom, & I would recommend Runaway Tours to everyone! 10/10 experience!
