Enjoyable running tour of Athens

I had a 20-hour stopover in Athens and decided to sign up for the Running Tour of Athens. It was exactly what I was looking for—a fantastic way to see so many of the city's highlights in the limited time I had. John was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable about Athens' history and answered all of my questions. We started early to avoid the crowds and the heat, which made the experience even better. He also took some great photos along the way. In addition to being a running coach, he's clearly a talented photographer! I also appreciated that he let me set the running pace, making the tour comfortable and enjoyable. I'm really glad I chose this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to experience Athens.

Fantastic Run

We had a fanatic run through Athens with John. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable and a professional coach as well. The miles flew by and we had a brilliant time.

Better to go yourself

Very overpriced. I wish I had just taken myself for a run. I didn’t get enough out of it. For a country so rich in history, I didn’t feel like there was enough depth to the information I was delivered.

Running in Athens

Running with Giánnis was awesome! We met in the city center and ran all the way to the Panathenaic Stadium. Giánnis is a great guy and the journey was amazing. I highly recommend it.
