Fabulous day in the Southern Highlands
Andrew was an outstanding guide! He made the trip very special- we were well taken care of and felt treated almost like family… he customized our private tour to meet our interests! He was so fun and personable and knowledgeable!! Gave us great insight into the history of the area and Australia in general… We especially loved Bowral for morning tea and antiquing and the Mary Poppins statue and insights Andrew had regarding PL Travers life story… also learned about the New Zealand cricket legend Sir Donald Bradman! We were fortunate at Fitzroy Falls that the mist lifted in time for us to see the beautiful falls and surroundings…. Red Cow Farm was so stunning (even) in autumn and so extensive… with multiple beautiful gardens, landscaping and garden statuary… a feast for the eyes and soul… Delicious lunch in an old Australian pub- operating since 1834… Fabulous day!
Response from the operator: Hi Mary It sounds like you had a wonderful trip on your private Southern Highlands tour with Andrew. He certainly knows his Chim Chimeree's from his Supercalifragilistix! It certainly is a beautiful time of year down there during Autumn/Fall when the gardens and countryside are decked out in those stunning autumnal colours. 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

Wonderful day in the Southern Highlands
Our guide Glenn made this an enjoyable and unforgettable day. Glenn was knowledgable and enthusiastic and didn’t hesitate to share his knowledge of the area and the places we visited. During the day we made a couple stops, and Glenn didn’t hesitate to help us find a few specific items that we were looking for. The national park and its waterfall, the countryside with the rolling his and estates were beautiful. With our last stop at a local winery for a tasting, you couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the day. Thank you Glenn and the staff at Run Away Tours (Sydney) for a great day.
Response from the operator: Hi Mark Sounds like you had a fantastic day out with our main guide, Glenn. He's a local down that way so knows all the best places to 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

The guide was very knowledgeable. Since I was traveling and had limited time I could not have accomplished this days schedule on my own. Great day!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden cost?
+
Prices start at $220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Southern Highlands Private Tour with Wine, Waterfall and Garden start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
