I had an amazing morning run with Kai. He showed me parts of the city I would never had seen. He shared history, architecture, and local perspective.
An amazing running tour with Alison.

Alison was the best running tour guide. She knows Edinburgh history and helped us to see its beauty and complexity. She connected the places we saw with memorable stories that will remain with us for a long time. We had an incredible running morning.
It's Neat to Summit at Arthur's Seat!!

Rosie was such a breath of fresh air!!! Happy, positive, fun, relaxed, go with the flow and up for anything...she showed us everything we wanted to see and brought us to the top of Arthur's Seat. It was a challenging 10K but soooo rewarding. She walked when we needed to walk. She also pointed out interesting attractions along the way. I love Go Running Tours and can't wait to travel and do another one in the next couple of months.

Alison was an amazing guide as she was very knowledgeable and friendly. I arranged for an extended 8-9 mile run and the experience exceeded my expectations. I have done many running tours during my travels and this one was by far the best!

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.
Great experience

Catrion was very professional and friendly and I spent over an hour happy getting to know Edinburgh. Although I have limited English, I can almost understand it. Introduce Edinburgh's features as you run and highly recommend running friends!

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).
Amazing Run with Amazing View

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.
