Customer Reviews

Athens was great! And we enjoyed the city-run with Elias very much! We visited a few places accompanied by some interesting comments and stories! -Gianluca P, ZH Switzerland

It was a great experience. We started at 8:30, went to the city center, passed Acropolis and finished at historial Panathenaic Stadium. We did run at our own tempo, so this was not a problem. I would recommend this great tour to everyone. - Miha P, Slovenia

Running tour which I had was something extremely new for me. I never experienced this kind of opportunity. It is highly recommended for those who are passionate about sport, life, new ideas, people and destination overview from different 'angle'. - Peter M, Poland

WHY WE LOVE IT

A great chance to keep the daily running routine in a new destination and cross off the list the main sights of the city; one of the best things to do in Athens especially for first time visitors who will end up making also their first friend in the city, their exceptional runner guide!
