We took the tour with Brian and another guide, the group was 4 total, plus 2 guides so six people in all. The tour was really a lot of fun, we took breaks at several spots to talk about interesting facts, and also take pictures. If you are worried about the running part, Brian adjusts the pace to suit you,... More

Had a great time on this running tour of Boston. The guide ran my pace and developed the tour around what I wanted to see - now that's customer service! We made stops to see important landmarks where he also took my picture(s) - plus he brought the camera and emailed me the pictures the same day. I highly reccomend... More

Taking a City Running Tour was the perfect way to get to know a new city. I just moved to Boston about 7 months ago and had yet to dedicate a day to touring the city. I saw everything I could have possibly wanted without the corny group tour vibe, and on top of that I got a great workout!... More

I would definitely recommend City Running tours-Boston (and I will be booking another run on my next trip)!!! I was in town last weekend for a long weekend and my entire reason for coming to Boston was because I was coming on an "alone" vacation and I am not afraid to run around the city alone. I did want to... More

I did a 9 mile Boston tour, Brian was my guide. We covered so many sights, too many to name. Beautiful day and I learned so much . I would recommend it to ANYONE . I've taken about 6 city running tours and enjoyed every one.

I would highly recommend City Running Tours. I have been to Boston several times but this was a new way to experience the city. The tour guides were very personable and informative and very willing to cater to a pace you are comfortable running. My friends and I had a great time. The brewery tour at the end was an... More

My fiance and I took a trip to Boston last weekend for St. Patrick's Day. We're both runners and had seen the Philly City Running Tours group around our hometown, so we investigated if there were any Boston runs happening during our trip. Sure enough, there was a 10k beer run that ended at Harpoon Brewery. Matt has never been... More

Wow! What a fantastic way to see the city. I did this run on St. Paddy's weekend with my son and daughter-in-law who were visiting from San Diego. Brian and his team were fantastic. I was the "older" one in the crowd, but I was able to run at my own pace and felt comfortable doing so. If you are... More

Brian and his crew were wonderful ! Anyone can do this run because you're able to go at your own pace while seeing so many historical sights in Boston. I live in the Boston area and did it when two friends from out of town came to visit, for locals or visitors this is a fun and enjoyable run. After... More

As a casual for-exercise-only runner who averages 15 miles/week, I'm always on the lookout for 5ks, beer races, etc...and often I run them. I saw this run, asked a friend if she'd be up for it, and we signed up. It was a great and informative run-at-our-pace tour of Boston - and made a daunting 6.5 miles a lot easier!... More
