What a great way to stay for on vacation. :). My guide picked me up and we went all over the city. I wish we had one of these in Houston.

It always takes a while to get the layout of a new place, plus beating the jetlag can be hard. This run was perfect. Paced to suit me, informative and by the end of morning one in philly I had seen heaps of the city & had it laid out in my head. My guide was not only informative, but... More

It was my first running tour and I think it's a great way to explore a new city. Our guide was very nice and well-informed and he adjusted the speed according to our wishes (and we stopped to take pictures a couple of times). This way, you can cover a greater area than when walking and see a lot more... More

I had never been to Philly before and I needed to do a 10-mile run that weekend, so I signed up for a tour so I wouldn't have to figure out my own route. It was great! I was with a friend who only wanted to do 5 miles, so they planned the route to do the first 5 together... More

I picked an 8 mile run which was a stretch for me. My running partner, Steph, showed up right on time, ran at my pace yet challenged me, was fun to talk with and very personable and knew a lot about her city. The t-shirt is a perfect fit and the other goodies are much appreciated. I would highly recommend... More

I was actually looking to see if there were any races coming up on the weekend I was visiting from Los Angeles and the River to River tour came up instead. I thought it would be a good way to see Philly and get in some exercise at the same time and that's exactly how it turned out. Besides the... More

I was looking to do something different for my birthday that included exercise. At first glance, the Liberty Bell City Running Tour didn't seem that exciting. However, my expectations were pleasantly exceeded. We were a small group of 4 plus the tour guide and it was fun. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Got smarter about my city and burned...
