RunBoston

We ran with Wayne on our first day in Boston. Our guide responded on very short notice, was prepared and thorough. I paid $ 120 for two people for an 11 mile run. Wayne was knowledgeable about the area but understood that we wanted to actually run.

I can’t think of a better way to see a city for the first time. Jared put together a custom route based on information gathered via email and phone. I actually talked to Abby and exchanged emails with Jared. He was a fantastic guide who loves Boston.
The price is reasonable considering the amount of information gathered in a relatively short time. I was able to continue throughout the city for dinner based on the «calibration» provided by Jared. (That probably saved me $ 20+ in parking as well as minimized frustration)
Great city with an exceptional service provided by RunBoston!

Rude emails when asked for info about tour. Make your website clearer and I won’t be emailing you questions. Great if you want to rent a pretend friend «guide» to run with you around the city. Cost $ 65 plus $ 20 tip for 5 mile run. Will incessantly email you to post a review after.

Best tour EVER. I opted for the personalized, private tour simply because their group run didn’t fit in with my conference. Shortly after I booked it, Jared e-​mailed me. I really liked that they asked so many questions to really personalize it & create a route I thoroughly enjoyed. My guide, Julie, was full of history, very friendly and totally paced the run for me. I asked for «off the beaten path» and I got that and then some. There were places I had passed by the day before my tour and didn’t even notice, but with Julie pointing things out, i saw them & got the history behind them. She also gave me plenty of recommendations for food and things to see that I wouldn’t have thought of. She also brought her own camera & took pictures for me (high chance of rain & she didn’t know if I’d have a way to carry mine and keep it dry). My only regret? Not getting a picture with her and not having time to do this again on this trip. Rest assured, Julie, I will see you on my next trip. And thank you so much! P. S. thanks to Jared for dropping off my shirt the night before! (optional; $ 30, but that’s a fair price for a tech shirt!)

This run tour was the highlight of my trip to Boston! I did a run tour during my trip to NYC which was great, but this company was SO much better and much more personal! I’m training for a marathon and this was the perfect way for me to keep up with my mileage while seeing the best of the city. Abby and Jared were quick to respond by email and flexible on my running needs. They made themselves available at 10 am on a Monday, even though I wasn’t with a group. I didn’t know much about Boston so I asked them to come up with a route they thought I would enjoy. I told them between 7 – 9 miles and it ended up being 8.6 mi.
They showed up at our meeting spot, right on time, despite the weather being AWFUL! Freezing wind and rain, but they were still up for the run! We braved the monsoon and saw lots of cool sites like Newbury Street, Fenway Park, Boston Common, Bunker Hill, Beacon Hill, and some bridges with really great views of the city. Along the way, they offered lots of interesting history, along with quirky fun facts about Boston. Oh, and did I mention they let me set the pace? They were really fun to listen to and a true pleasure to run with. They also recommended fun places to eat and drink during my stay. By the end of the tour, I felt like I should hug them goodbye! We had truly been through a crazy, but fun Monday morning together! The price for the tour was very fair, in my opinion ($ 30). This was the perfect way to see the best of Boston while getting in my regular work out. Also, Jared recommended I check out the Boston Public Library as we ran past it, which I did later and it was amazing! Try RunBoston, you won’t be disappointed!
