Fantastic run in Sydney - Thankyou Leigh for a fantastic morning running around Sydney. We covered 18km and ran around the Opera House, over the Harbour Bridge and throughout the city. Leigh was a helpful and knowledgeable guide who kept to the pace I was seeking. Great company, highly recommend.

If you like to run and explore the city this tour is for you! - Stacey was a fantastic guide! I learnt so much about Sydney even though I used to live there! The drink and ferry ride back from Kiribilli was also a highlight!

Amazing experience - On my second day in Sydney I met Jamie from RunningtoursSydney. We met in HydePark early on Sunday morning and ran 9km, finishing over the bridge at Kirribilli Ferry Station. We ran past art galleries & museums, through parks, along the coastline and beside St. Andrews pool (which I cooled off in later that day!) Jamie was very knowledgable so as well as having a good chat I also learnt a lot about the history of Australia and visited the houses of the President and the slave who was allowed to be a free man. I also got some amazing shots of the sydneyharbourbridge from the drmaryboothlookout. The @RunningToursSydney Harbour Sights Tour includes a coffee which we had at Celsiouscoffeeco a gorgeous little cafe on the water before coming back. Before and after my tour I was contacted by the companies customer experience manager, who offered to give me additional tips on places to go during my stay and I was really impressed by the companies customer service and professionalism. Would highly recommend to anyone :)
