Great day of tasting wines in Hunter valley. Excellent of tasting at three different wineries plus a artisanal cheese tasting and great lunch to top it off. Glen was an excellent guide, safe driver and provided us a great day. Even went out of his way to make we got some pictures of wild kangaroos as we had not seen any yet on our visit to Australia.

This was our first of two tours organised by Runaway Tours and was so easy to organise in the run up to us travelling en masse to Australia. Our large family group were superbly looked after by Runaway Tours and collected from our location in Sydney early in the morning before a two hour drive out to Hunter Valley. The guide, Glen was very knowledgable and welcoming and being an ex-pat from Essex, he led our group perfectly. We visited two different vineyards in the morning and had great taster sessions at both, before stocking up with bottles to help us celebrate our time in Australia. Following the second vineyard stop, Glen took us to a beautiful spa resort for our lunch which was of an exceptionally good standard. Following lunch we headed for a cheese tasting experience before visiting the third wine boutique. This was more of a wine stockist as opposed to a vineyard, but the quality of the wine was very good. As the afternoon drew to an end, the final stop on the tour was a chocolate shop where we had the chance to purchase some high quality confectionery. Following this visit we headed back into Sydney and was dropped off back at our lodgings at about 5:30 so it really was a full day of brilliant activities. Thank you Steve and Mandy for their exceptional organisation skills to put this tour on for us and as you can read on our Blue Mountain tour review, they really do know how show off these great locations in and around Sydney. When we return in the future, we will no doubt be heading to the Runaway Tours website to book more activities. Thank you for making our holiday in Sydney so memorable.

Steve was absolutely phenomenal. We booked last minute because our other service fell through. There were 7 of us and we all had a wonderful time. Steve was prompt and communicative and super fun to chat with. He made sure we had a great time and we would 100% recommend him to all our friends and family.

We booked online with Runaway Tours and wouldn't change a thing. We were picked up at the cruise terminal in Sydney by our guide Jen, spent the day with her touring the Hunter and were dropped at the airport on time for a late evening flight home. Jen was very knowledgeable, a safe driver and good fun.

From the inquiries, the booking and the final trip, Runaway Tour is always friendly and professional. We also had Roger, as our tour guide who speaks Mandarin for my family. My family had a great time and loved the time with Roger. I will definitely recommend anybody who needs tour guide in Sydney. I will definitely use services from Runaway Tour again!

I was very impressed that Runaway Tour was consistently responsive to all of my inquiries right from begining to after I made booking with them. Mandy and Steve had been very helpful all along. Jim managed our schedule very well during the day of tour. We were able to enjoy our wine tasting as well as other activities in a relaxing pace. I am more than happy to recommend Runaway Tour to all my friends who will be visiting Sydney in future.
