CRT is a great way to get some exercise in during your trip and a different way to experience the city! Much more fulfilling and exciting than a walking tour and less restrictive than duck tours, CRT tailors the run to YOU to maximize your experience. You can choose from available times, places you would most like to visit, and... More

I enjoyed getting the opportunity to interact with the locals and see a different side of a city that you cant experience in... More

We saw Love Square, City Hall, Rittenhouse Square, and ran along Pennsylvania Avenue to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (yep, the 'Rocky' steps). Along the way I learned about the... More
