Must do adventure. It would be nearly impossible to do it all in one day without a tour guide . Amazing views
This was a private day trip for my husband and I. I really liked how the operator let us select what options we were interested in doing. Our guide was on time and she was a great person to spend the day seeing the sights. Despite a lot of rain in the morning she made the trip to the Blue mountains work. We did everything as promised. We would have liked a little more time at the wildlife park, the Koalas are so much fun to see. The ferry was definitely a nice touch for the ride home. We were very satisfied and I would use Runaway tours again.
Hi Kathleen We are so happy that you got to tailor your private Blue Mountains tour to suit your needs on the day. Our guides always love showing off the wilderness and our furry and fierce creatures at the wildlife park. The ferry ride at the end of the day is an absolute winner to beat the traffic on the way home. 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
The best tour we did in the Sydney area! Julian was a truly terrific tour guide- incredibly knowledgeable and also a great guy to chat with! We had the best day getting to hang out, feed, and pet some Kangaroos and Koalas before heading to a yummy lunch in Leura (where we also had a bit of time to check out some of the local stores). After Leura, we got to try out all three rides at Scenic World and walk under a rainforest canopy. We saw The Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Orphan Rock, and two of the most majestic valleys that I have ever seen! The day ended with a ferry ride back to Circular Quay, which is a mere five minute walk to our hotel. Can’t recommend this tour enough! Five star service all the way and the best tour guide we have encountered on this entire trip (including both Hawaii and Australia)!
Had an amazing time on full day tour to see the Blue Mountains, the Featherdale Wildlife Park and Scenic World Rides. We feel very fortunate to be with Julian and Joe. Everything was perfect. Highly enjoyed our time together. We traveled as family of four and had very personalized experience. Also had lunch in Leura, a quaint little town. Highly recommend taking this tour while in Sydney. Weather was perfect for seeing all the lovely sights like the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Prince Henry Cliff Walk, Lookout Junction and many more stops along the way. A+ tour. Thank you!
Hi Gary We're so pleased you had a great day out on your private Blue Mountains tour with Julian and our trainee guide, Joe.

All worth while going on. Glenn was very knowledgeable. Loved wildlife and Blue Mountain..lots of walking for me.
Hi Ann We're very pleased you had a great day out on your private Blue Mountains tour with Glenn. Glad he didn't wear you too far down on the walking trails and the animals put on a great show for you at the Wildlife Park. 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
We had a great time with Glen, our guide, on this full day tour. He was flexible, knowledgeable, and friendly, and we can highly recommend him and Runaway Tours. We actually did a City Tour with Runaway and Glen the day before, and Glen picked us up at the cruise terminal, along with a ton of luggage, and dropped us at our hotel after the tour. Glen knew all the best spots to get those perfect photos.
Hi there We're very pleased you had a great day out on your private Sydney City Sights tour with Glenn. He enjoyed sharing his knowledge with you and your group and is delighted you all had an excellent Sydney visit 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
Jenn was a great tour guide. Lincoln Point and the Animal Sanctuary were fantastic. The lunch and ferry ride back to Sydney Harbor was also great. Scenic World was overcrowded and we did not have enough time to fully enjoy the park.
Although it rained all day, our guide was excellent. He showed us all he could in spite of the horrible conditions.
Hi Maru We're very pleased you had a great day out on your private Sydney City Sights tour. No one likes rotten weather on their holidays, so we're glad our guide showed you a great time regardless. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Australia Happy travels, Steve Arnerich Owner Runway Tours
Our guide, Andrew, was super knowledgeable and very personable. He got us around the crowds and showed us the beauty of the mountains.
