Great way to see Madrid! - I went on two private, 10K running tours of Madrid with John W on back-to-back mornings and they were great! John was very knowledgeable, altered the two routes so I saw different things, and stayed at my (relatively slow) pace. It was a great way to see and learn about Madrid on my first visit and it kept me going because I'm training for my first marathon. I also did a LocalRunGuide run in Barcelona, which was very good.

Monday morning run in Madrid - Robert was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, articulate, and personable. Being a Monday, the streets were not very crowded and we could make our way through the city easily. Great way to start the day and learn about a new location.

Highly Recommended - Well worth waking up early for, even if you are jet lagged. You get to explore the city in the quiet time, before it wakes up. Our guide, Nikki, was excellent, full of knowledge and set an appropriate pace. Beware that the meeting location in the email says only “sol” and if you click on that word, Google Maps will take you to the wrong place. Meet at Plaza del Sol.👍

Great exercise and great tips - I went for the early morning run with Grace and it was fantastic. She was very enthusiastic and helpful, and took some great photos along the way. She was very informative, knowing the history of the city well and what was especially great for me was that she was able to point out some great spots to eat for tapas and for lunch later on - indeed she recommended a restaurant which I went to for a special treat for my birthday and it was superb I'm just getting back into running after an injury (and fatness), but Grace was very considerate and the run was good at a considerate pace given my ability. Overall I would highly recommend this tour - a great way to get round the city, get some exercise done, know a bit about the history and layout of the city and get some quality recommendations for places to eat and avoid the tourist traps.

Great experience, strongly recommend! - Ulrik was quick to communicate and provide details throughout - I should have read it better as I went to the wrong starting place which is currently under construction. My running guide Philip patiently waited for me while I rushed over to the actual starting point and then went on a 7km tour around the city. Philip set a good pace, perfect to push me a bit, but never exhausted me. The tour started at 7.30am at which point it was still dark, cool and the city very quiet, which is perfect for a run! We saw all the major and some minor attractions on the tour, without the huge lines of tourists everywhere you get later in the day Philip was very friendly, informative and spent a solid 10 minutes after the tour giving me tons of recommendations for my stay in Madrid - all of which have turned out to be amazing so far! Can thoroughly recommend doing a tour with these guys, what a great way to start your day in Madrid!

A wonderful running experience - Ulrik is a fantastic guide who offered so much knowledge and insight into the city. He shared its historical background as well as making great recommendations of places to enjoy. It was lovely to run early in the morning at a time when it was quiet and a little cooler. It was a very scenic and enjoyable tour of between 3.5 and 4 miles with lots of pauses to take in the city's highlights. I did this as a solo traveller and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ulrik's tour to anyone who enjoys running and wants to soak up the views, and to have lovely company and interesting information shared with them along the way. Thank you so much, Ulrik!

Robert was a great guide.... - Robert was a great guide. We ran 4 miles through the city and stopped many places to learn about the history, architecture, and other interesting facts about Madrid. I would do this tour again. Fun way to see Madrid and learn new things at the same time.
