Sydney Half Day Private Tour: see Sydney Opera House and Bondi

Excellent tour

Our tour guide Vic was very knowledgeable and personable. He taught us about the history of Sydney and kept us engaged the whole time.

Great morning with Vic seeing Sydney.

Vic , our driver/guide, perfectly dovetailed the four-hour tour with our interests. We sent him a note with some variations from his normal historical perspective of Sydney. He didn't disappoint! We took the Sunday 8am tour. Traffic and visitor traffic was light, maximizing our experience. Vic even modified our drop-off to allow us time for another tour later that day.

Great Tour!

This was a great private tour of Sydney. Our guide, Andrew was wonderful! He was so knowledgeable about everything Sydney and Australia. He drove us to all the major places and attractions, and all the best places to take photos. He recommended a great place for dinner “Nick’s” on the water which was great. Thanks Andrew!

Awesome guide for perfect half day

Perfect overview of the city! Andrew was definitely the best guide! Great info, engaging, fun, an awesome half day. Wish we could have spent the entire day with him. Thanks again Andrew!

Great afternoon tour

The half day tour with Vic was great. It was a private tour that we booked at the last minute and we had 4 or 5 stops for photos and saw many different neighborhoods in Sydney including the first settlers homes, the red light area, and multi million dollar new homes. Vic provided a running commentary that was very informative. A very good afternoon

Amazing tour

Amazing tour! Mike was an absolute great host. I’d recommend this tour for any family. He covers all the highlights of Sydney and is chock full of tips and things to do.

Excellent customized touring company.

Everyone at this company was wonderful and communicative. Brendan was trusting and friendly. He customized our Sydney tour and was incredibly informative. He also turned around at the airport to bring us a forgotten item in the car. Will definitely call them when we return to Sydney!

Highly recommended

Nice tour, Bianca is very accommodating. The places we went were really nice, we’re able to take great photos.

Excellent tour of Sydney city Center

Excellent tour, Julian was a great host and tour guide. Provided plenty of information, very relaxed and easy going. Safe driver and listened to our expectations and delivered. Highly recommend.

Enjoy the sites of Sydney in 4 hours!

Vic from Runnaway tours was excellent as a driver and guide with knowledge, experience, and a delightful personality! He knew history, culture, and current events in the area and Australia. He answered questions easily. This was one of the best tours we have ever taken!

Great day with Andrew!

Andrew was an amazing guide! He offered a proposed plan and was flexible to make a few additional stops. As a Sydney native, very knowledgeable about the history.

Two thumbs up for Runaway Tours!

First of all I cannot say enough good things about our guide Bettina-she was wonderful! We had never been to Sydney before and only had the day to see as much as we could of Sydney. We asked her to show us the best highlights in the time given and she delivered! The communications were excellent, the vehicle comfortable and all for a reasonable price! We highly recommend Runaway Tours!

Sydney private half day tour including Bondi Beach

We had an amazing tour led by Danny. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour. If you want a great guide ask for Danny.

Wonderful way to see the city!

Danny was a wonderful tour guide. We saw many incredible sites and had lots of fun. I highly recommend a private tour.

Great Experience

Our tour guide , Julius , was outstanding, very knowledgeable and a true gentleman. He was efficient without seeming rushed. He was like having an Australian history professor as our guide. We saw everything we wanted to see in a half day tour.

Highly Recommend!

Very incredible tour with Scott! We booked last minute but everything was seamless. He is very knowledgeable about the city and modified as he went with what we already knew or had seen! He navigated the city flawlessly with all the detours from Australia Day. Truly recommend if you want to learn a lot about Sydney and the greater area!

Fabulous 4 hour Private Tour - Sydney

Our tour guide Bettiana (from Runaway Tours) was fabulous. Great tour - just the right amount of time and we saw all the major sites in Sydney.

Learned a great deal about Sydney and Australia

Our tour guide Vic was extremely knowledgeable with Sydney and its surroundings. We saw up close the opera house and Bondi Beach including the iceberg pool.

Jennifer was a great guide! She was very informative, helpful and kind. She gave us a great tour and even took us to a few places that we asked to see, like out of the way beaches and neighborhoods. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants to see Sydney with a great guide who was experienced and quite funny! Thank you Viator and Jennifer! A+++!!!

Wonderful Sydney Tour

Vic was a wonderful tour guide. We loved seeing and hearing all about Sydney and it’s history. Many Thanks!

Very nice city tour

Had a very good time with Glenn. He was very courteous and highly professional. Shied us all the highlights of Sydney and surrounding areas.

Amazing tour of Sydney

Our tour guide, Julian, met us a few minutes before our pickup time at our hotel. His warm welcome made our tri-generational party (age range 15-85) feel instantly at ease. I cannot recommend Julian highly enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable, altered our itinerary so we would not duplicate another booked tour, and showed us breathtaking views of the city. Wonderful knowledge of both Sydney’s history and modern day events. What a wonderful way to start our family’s trip to Australia. I cannot recommend him highly enough! This tour exceeded our expectations.

All about our pleasure.

I can not say enough about our tour guide Julian. He totally educated and entertained our group of 10. We visited the high points and he graciously took.photos. He really picked up on.our interests and spoke to.them. The company it self was so easy to deal with We added a friend long after the initial booking and the responded very quickly.

Amazing!!

We loved our guide, Andrew! He has a wealth of knowledge and took us to a few secret gems from his childhood! Everything was spectacular!! We loved it!!!!!

Half Day Tour Fun

This was a personal tour of Sydney. Our guide was a local and super knowledgeable. I hate to be rushed from place to place, but she really took her time and allowed us to get to know the neighborhoods and the beach.

Awesome Experience

The professionalism, people friendly, and knowledgeable presentation of the tour guide. We were shown the highlights of Sydney and really experienced the love and joy of the tour guide.

Very enjoyable.

Excellent, knowledgeable guide Julian made our experience fantastic. Only having a very short Sydney stay, this was the perfect way to see alot of the special places, in comfort and convenience.

Great tour

Julian brought us to great spots for picture taking. Very efficient and friendly. He made it convenient for us to get to sites.

Amazing Sydney history

Remembrance to Sydney history and amazing stories on ways of life to Sydney’s beginnings was told. It was amazing and the reasons to how buildings were built as are.

Great Sydney overview

We arrived in Sydney in the morning and had our tour booked for the early afternoon. We couldn’t get into our hotel room for a couple hours so I sent a message to the vendor asking if we could start about an hour earlier than scheduled. They promptly sent a message back saying they could accommodate an earlier start time. So first off, a special thanks to the tour operator. Had a wonderful time with Vic. The excursion gave a great overview of Sydney and Vic was very knowledgeable of its history with England and culture. Sydney is a big city with a lot to see but I think Vic give a great tour of its highlights along some fun facts and history a tourist might not always hear about. Thanks for a great afternoon.

A potentially great tour spoiled by a thoroughly terrible and narcissistic guide.

A potentially good tour spoiled by a thoroughly terrible and narcissistic guide. We wanted me to see the highlights of Sydney and to hopefully learn something in the process. 90% of the words out of the guides mouth were about him and his personal exploits, or his family and their exploits. The rest seemed to center around the price of housing in the various neighborhoods we drove through. His not-so thinly veiled disdain for America and Americans was ill-advised and unwelcome THIS IS NOT WHAT THE AVERAGE TOURIST IS INTERESTED IN! Not a good experience.

Great tour

Brendan was a knowledgeable guide who gave super observations about Sydney history and the different sections of the city

Stunning Sydney by private tour

Sydney is a beautiful city - the hills, architecture, waterfronts and the trees. Vic was an outstanding tour guide that showed us the city, culture and history of the country. He answered all of our questions and was patient and gave us plenty of time to explore the sites.

Great tour, very knowledgeable and special personal way of telling stories about visiting in a foreign country to folks.

All of the trip. Great job. Will always use Viator when traveling. So much to choose from and realiable.

Book it!

Daniel our driver and tour guide was exceptional. This was a last minute booking and we have zero regrets. We has been in Sydney for 3 days prior to the tour and he tailored the tour to highlight the places we had yet to visit including Bondi beach. Highly informative and hit all the highlights we wanted to see.

Very good tour

The guide was very kind, I would recommend this tour, I learned a lot about Australian culture and about the first atrrivsl in Australia

Half-day private tour

Kegan was very informative, showed us so many places we wouldn’t have otherwise seen, and explained so much. He did a great job.

Sydney City Tour

We enjoyed our Half Day tour and it met our expectations for the limited time we had to spend in Sydney!

Sensational Sydney Sightseeing

Our excursion with Chris was wonderful! He took us through rain and sun with safe driving, knowledgeable conversation, and opportunities to see top spots. After a long flight, this was the best way to catch up on Sydney.

Great tour

Our guide was great- enthusiastic about showing us everything he could in the time allotted. We did not visit the Opera House in this tour but we went on our own for a tour.

Bondi beach special ...

Bondi beach special Tour much driving Good overview of city Expensive for data obtained Overall average

Fabulous Private Tour!

Danny was outstanding. Full of knowledge and energy and excited to show us this beautiful place. He was wonderful in customizing the tour to our needs and preferences to get a good overview and visit some spots we had not seen on a prior trip. Highly recommend! And he takes great photos too!

Explore the Beautiful Coastline

What a wonderful tour! Bianca is an excellent tour guide. She has a love for Australia and a strong knowledge of Australia’s history right up to the present day. Get out of the city and explore the beautiful beaches and quaint towns that are also part of Sydney. Bianca’s passion for the views is infectious!

Great half day tour in Sydney

We had an excellent half day tour with our guide Brendan upon arrival in Sydney. We were picked up from the airport, shown around the city, and then dropped off at our hotel about the time we could check-in. Steve was in constant contact with me until we found Brendan at the airport.

Lovely afternoon

Jen was very informative and helpful. We learned a lot about Australia and we have a list of places we would like to visit. We really enjoyed the tour.
