Great run and conversation with Alan.
My running tour with Alan was one of the highlights of my trip to London! I learned a lot about the history and we were able to run by many of the local landmarks. One of the best parts was probably running by the finish line for the London Marathon as it was taking place the same day. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a different way to see the city!
Thanks for the nice review Maureen. Apologies we had to start and stop so many times for the road closures but glad you still enjoyed :)
Allen was a lovely guide. He was 10 minutes early and so were we. My daughter and I are both distance runners and he kept a nice clip, but he did say he was happy to accommodate all types of runners! Allen truly loves his city and has many interesting notes to share. He’s amicable and felt like a friend in the city! Thank you, Allen!
Thank you for the kind review :)
Very much enjoyed our running tour of London on a beautiful spring morning! Alan was a great running companion - friendly and knowledgeable and showed us plenty of sights along a lovely route. He pointed out the best photo ops too :) Highly recommend to any individuals or small groups interested in running!
Thanks for the nice review. I hope the marathon went well on Sunday!
I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Alan! Alan is friendly, great conversationalist & pace; and also learned new things about London and its history. Definitely recommend!
The guided running tour around the parks and palaces of Westminster and Hyde Park was brilliant. Alan was friendly informative and an ideal running companion. Got to see so many of the landmarks of London while getting a morning training run. Perfect!
Thanks for the nice review Gareth. It was great to meet you and good luck on the rest of your European tour!
Alan was great and I would definitely recommend him to any runners looking for a good running partner with knowledge of the city and the city’s history. He made the whole experience enjoyable and worry free.
Thanks for the review John. Glad you enjoyed.
The tour Alan gave us was fantastic. We were able to see Buckingham palace, Hyde Park, 10 Downing, Big Ben and more while experiencing a run in London. We had miscalculated how long it would take to get there and he was so kind about it. I am so glad we picked this tour, best way to see a city. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the review Erin and glad you both enjoyed it. See you in Queens next time!
The run was nice. Alan checked in with me often to see how I was feeling and he was knowledgeable about the area.
Thank you for joining the tour Carolyn and for taking the time to leave this review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the run. It was a pleasure having you, and I appreciate your kind words about the experience. Hope to see you on another run soon!
Found this a brilliant way to see London while getting a run in. Alan was very knowledgeable of London and the route captured some of the iconic scenery and finished off with a coffee at the end. Always find it a pain planning running routes in cities and this is a brilliant way to get a run and a tour in. Another funny Irishman as well
