Great way to get a workout and an introduction to the city - The FitCity running tours are a great way to start a trip, get a general sense of direction in the city, and get a quick preview of the sights while having a fantastic workout.

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 :)
