Just Relax -- Runaway Tours Speaks Your Language

Runaway Tours, Sydney's leading specialist in foreign language tours, announces the launch of tours with relaxed itineraries dedicated to small groups.

(PRWEB) August 31, 2007 -- Runaway Tours, Sydney's leading specialist in foreign language tours, announces the launch of tours with relaxed itineraries dedicated to small groups.

You worked hard for your holidays. You endured a long flight to a strange yet exotic land down under. So why not relax and enjoy it?

Run away, for a day -- that's the philosophy behind Runaway Tours (www.runawaytours.com.au).

Runaway Tours employs bilingual professional tour guides who love their work and simply want to show off the best of Sydney and its surrounds.

"Our bus is accompanied by an enthusiastic, friendly and skilled local guide dedicated solely to your language group," says Stephen Arnerich. "Our tours are in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Cantonese and Mandarin -- even Farsi!"

An award winning tour owner and operator since 1996, Arnerich saw an urgent need for his innovative new tour service when he observed 60 passengers from USA, Japan and China mixed together on a single bus being whisked through the Blue Mountains.

Arnerich says that Runaway Tours itineraries have been structured at a chilled pace that actually gives patrons an extra hour up their sleeve.

"Runaway Tours could show you a million things in one day but to really absorb Sydney's beauty, you deserve to unwind during your tour," says Arnerich. "That's what will make your visit to Sydney so memorable."

Runaway Tours won't place you within a large group in the same bus with five other languages and five separate interpreters.

Its small group sizes -- set at a maximum 24 per bus -- combined with a hassle-free itinerary present outstanding value to any overseas visitor looking to stretch their hard-earned holiday dollars.

Primarily a charter service, Runaway Tours is also around 50% cheaper than its competitors.

Tourists can choose any of the following:

Blue Mountains | Private Charter only

The Blue Mountains are world famous. Often called the Grand Canyon of Australia, 50% of visitors to Sydney will do a tour through the World Heritage listed wilderness during their stay here. Come and appreciate the majesty of the mountains to see what all the fuss is about.

Prices:

1 - 10 people         AUD $1350

11 - 20 people         AUD $2500

Hunter Valley Wine and Beer Tasting | Private Charter only

Visit the oldest wine region in the country -- the Hunter Valley -- famous for its Semillon and Shiraz grape varieties. With over 140 wineries, chocolate shops, restaurants, golf courses and stunning scenery to choose from, the Hunter is a must for all visitors to see.

Rather then rushing through a lot of wineries Runaway Tours believes it is more appropriate to see only a few. You will spend more time at each one and probably get to taste between 6 - 10 glasses of wine at each winery this way.

Prices:

1 - 10 people         AUD $1450

11 - 20 people        AUD $2700
