Amazing Run with Amazing View

So glad I did this run! The route was amazing, and you get to see the parts of Edinburgh that you would not normally see.

Amazing time! Best way to see the city

Melinda_F, May 2023

Running to top of Arthur’s seat and running all around Edinburgh was amazing. Beautiful day and great way to get the morning workout. Our guide, Cat was great and inspiring and couldn’t ask for anything more

Fun running tour.

A nice way to get to know the old town/new town area of Edinburgh. A nice morning run with some lovely views.

Inspiring way of tour - Panoramic run

Hernan_F, Jul 2021

First time we toured with a running guide. Stewart was our guide and picked us up from our hotel. He is a knowledgeable and friendly person and showed us the city by running, including Edinburgh Castle, arthur’s seat area then Calton Hill. Highly recommend someone who enjoys little jogging and city breeze!
