It was great to run with Dan and get a guided tour of this wonderful place! Dan was great, very knowledgable and was happy to take photos gor me! Totally recommended if you are a runner and visiting NYC! Thankyou for a great experience!

Disappointed in NYC

Annie_S, May 2024

Guided run was canceled 45 minutes before the start time and there was no option for rescheduling that matched my schedule.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi Annie I am so sorry that you had such a poor experience with us. We try our best, and usually succeed, at delivering top rated experiences. Unfortunately an issue came up with our assigned tour guide that morning and we weren't able to find another in time. We of course refunded your payment and offered you a free tour on another morning but you were not available. Our offer still stands and if you do find yourself in NYC again we would be more than happy to have you join us as my guest. Mike R Founder, City Fit Tours

Fun Run

We were so appreciative of our fantastic guides. They worked with us on scheduling AND pace. It was, perhaps, the #1 activity my mother wanted to do for her 70th birthday trip to New York and we loved it!

More than a Fun Run

Michelle_K, Jul 2019

The fit tour more than exceeded our expectations. It was fun and informative. We were able to see things we likely wouldn't have had we tried to explore on our own.

Fun and educational.

Kathryn_S, Jul 2019

Our tour guide was awesome! This was such an interesting tourist activity.... my husband would never have chosen to do it, but said afterward that he was glad we did. Thank you!!!!

Loved loved loved the 5k run through...

Deanna A, Nov 2017

Loved loved loved the 5k run through central park.. Cat, my guide, was PHENOMENAL! I was traveling with young kids, so my husband could not run with me and I didn't want to run alone.. I was able to run through the park while listening to my guide tell me all about the park and snap a few photos. No better way for a tourist/runner to run NYC!
