Great Experience for Joggers / Runners in Glasgow - Sean is both a great coch for the Run and the perfect guide to discover Glasgow and tell us about his city. Our group consited only of my son and me , so we had the privilege of a private tour. But I think also in slightly smaller groups (anyway the limit I think is 5 or 6 clients) everyone will have a perfect experience. For joggers and runners I think it's one of the niciest ways the learn more about the town. And the running speed was just perfect for us. And last but not least, Sean makes really great pictures during the run (if you agree) which he shares immediately after by air drop. So no hazzle to make own pictures during running.

Excellent - Excellent tour. Would recommend. No need to be a super fast runner, the run is at a very steady pace with plenty of stops for information and photos. Highlights for me were Necropolis and Barrowlands which I wouldn’t have ventured to on my own. Great way to see the city.

Perfect 1.5h (inc stops) running tour of Glasgow - Really enjoyable running tour! Neil was a great guide - very knowledgeable and set the tone (and the pace!) exactly right. A perfect introduction to the city. Thanks Neil!

Glasgow city run - My friend and I had a brilliant time with our guide Sean Reid. He was warm friendly and engaging. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we ran through. Highly recommend this group to see Glasgow from a different perspective.

Aye Run, do it, an excellent way to see the city! - Booked on the Aye Run tour as a Doors Open Day activity, it was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of really interesting information en route and a great way to see things in your home city that you usually take for granted. Definitely booking another run, Sean is a great guide.

History, nostalgia, fitness and FUN! - If you want to see Glasgow in a totally unique way, run it with Sean from Aye Run. Sean went out of his way to make the run relevant to me, even taking us off track on occasion. I learned so much about Glasgow’s beginnings, which, as a tourist in my old hometown, was surprising and fascinating. I was especially impressed that Sean managed to keep the pace, deliver a lively commentary, and snap some fun photos along the way! If you can run a few kilometres and have your running shoes with you, jump on this tour. It’s at a comfortable pace and offers great value

An amazing, alternative way to see Glasgow with a great guide - Loved the guided running tour with Sean, who is very knowledgeable about all things glasgow throughout the tour. Very friendly and accommodating with questions via email before the run. Well worth the money and a great way to see glasgow and gain knowledge that a lot of the locals won't even know. Sean took pictures throughout and sent them almost immediately after the run ended which was a nice touch
