Great running tour of Edinburgh. Ali was so friendly and easy to talk to. She had a great knowledge of Edinburgh history and culture. She was also flexible with the route and took me to a few wonderful sites off the typical tourist paths.

jonmH269KI

We had a fun tour! Kai did a great job leading us through the city and accommodating our pace. It was great fun and we would highly recommend!

Edinburgh Run Tour was one of the best I have been on. I have been on running tours from Mexico to France. And this one was superb. My host, Catriona, rode her bike next to me and held whatever I needed help while giving me a good pace (of my choosing) and great history and insight into the city. We were able to get 13.5 miles in which was highly scenic. I would highly recommend them (and I already have to a friend).

So glad I did this run! The route was amazing, and you get to see the parts of Edinburgh that you would not normally see.

ashleyhk38

Really lovely run and learnt lots of great things. Was good to see parts of Edinburgh I wouldn't have seen otherwise!

kalley642

Spent a great morning with Catriona on the panoramic run tour. She had great knowledge of the city and overall just a fun person to run/fast walk/hike with. My husband, a non-runner, even said he had a great time. Highly recommend booking a running tour!

jakefeder

What a great time! Katrina was a great guide and very accommodating. Highly recommended, lots of fun

Running to top of Arthur’s seat and running all around Edinburgh was amazing. Beautiful day and great way to get the morning workout. Our guide, Cat was great and inspiring and couldn’t ask for anything more

melindaf101

This was a great adventure! Cat was amazing and very inspiring. She took us about 6 miles all over Edinburgh and to great spots. We all made it to top of Arthur’s seat. I’m a mom who went with her son and friend. We were all different ages but Cat made us very comfortable with all our paces. Best way to explore a city. Thanks for such a great memory. Hands down on best tours I’ve ever done

We went for the Panoramic Tour with Catriona! Absolutely wonderful experience. Catriona was friendly, knowledgeable, and attuned to each of our running capacities. Our tour was highly personal - just the two of us and our guide. This was much nicer than some of the larger group tours we’ve taken. The climb up Arthur’s Seat was a nice challenge and the view was incredible. Our guide took some photos for us, showed us a variety of interesting places around the city, and told us a bit about life in Scotland as well. She answered all of our questions and even gave us some recommendations for other things to see in Edinburgh and other run tours in Scotland. She was also very knowledgeable about races in Europe. Taking the run tour was a great way to see a lot of the city in a short period of time. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who is a reasonably capable runner! Couldn’t be happier with our experience. (: Thanks Catriona!
