Athens Highlights: Urban Run Experience With A Local

Great running guide - George - who tailored the run to my pace, and tailored a course that brought in various ancient sites across Athens including a run around the track at the roof level of Olympic stadium. I gained interesting insights to Athens, had a wonderful chat with George (although I was puffing a bit on some of the hills), and got some exercise at a peaceful (and cool) time of day (we set off at 7am from a well-known central spot). Recommended for any new running visitor to Athens, or even a returning one. I’d certainly do this again … and will look out for similar on other cities around the world. Thank you George!

Great running tour of Athens! We did this our first full day here, and feel like it gave us a much better lay of the land. He provided great suggestions on things to do around the city!

Really excellent run with Gregory. Loved seeing all the sites and managed most of the hills! Enjoyed seeing the Olympic stadium too

Had an amazing private run. Was very flexible on the start time and that was greatly appreciated. My wife was training for an Ironman and I’m marathon training so was great to get in a run and take in some sights. The run was perfectly tailored towards us and the workout we needed. In the end covered just over 10km. Awesome to run around the top of the Olympic Stadium and the bottom of the Acropolis. Highly recommend.

Super cool instructor - very attentive to your needs and pace and just a super cool vibe - don’t be intimidated to book this - I’m not the greatest runner and after this run I felt great - paced just right

This is a must for any runner traveling in Athens! Gregory is a great person to run with. I was so grateful to hear about his experience living and running in Athens!! Definitely a highlight of my trip! Thank you!!

Superb running tour! Gregory is a wonderfully pleasant local who will run at any pace you want. He takes the time to highlight the attractions and offers to take photos. An all-around great experience. Highly recommend!

Excellent way to explore Athens and a great way to stay fit on holidays. The guide is knowledgeable and will tailor the run to your fitness level. Booking for a solo travellers can be hard, but not in this case! This tour accepts solo travellers which is lovely.

The run group leader was very accommodating to runners of all levels. The pace and route was great for tourists who are unfamiliar with the city.

What a great way to start the day in Athens. Drastirioi was great and let me enjoy the ride. I was spoiled in my birthday and atop for a quick run at the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Olimpics took place. Thank you Drastirioi for the time.

It was a real cool experience. Gregory is a great local guide and simply just a great guy. He is adapting the pace to your level or wish and you can stop whenever you want to take pictures. :)

Great route, very varied and really helpful advice on where to run for future runs whilst in Athens. The coach was great, really enjoyed it.

Great experience! I was in Athens on a business trip and did not have much e time to be a tourist, so this tour was just what I needed! George is a great guide, very good company, friendly and attentive. We ran at my pace, chatting and sightseeing. Highlights were seeing the sunrise at the acropolis and running around the Olympic stadium. Excellent way to start a very busy business week! If you like running, I highly recommend this experience!

Gregory is a great guide and happily shared his knowledge and responded to my questions. Gregory will run at the pace you want to run.

George was excellent and happy to share his knowledge and respond to my questions as we went around. Just a great way to explore the city. Regardless of your pace, George will look after you.

George was a great guide and tailored the run to my requests. Highlight was definitely running around top of Olympic Stadium. Highly recommend this tour if you are on time constraints for sightseeing. It was a great start to a busy conference weekend. Really enjoyed it 😊👏🏃‍♀️

Gregory was a blast to run with through the streets and parks of the city. He directed a perfect ~10k with conversation, tour-guiding, and the typical run banter. Next time around, I'm going to book this again.

It was amazing! It was an unforgettable experience. I loved so much to run with other people. I will definitely do it again in the future. I want to congratulate Gregory's for the exellent preparation. Gregory I want also to thank you for your advices to have good stretching exercises in the home.

I strongly recommend the experience to all runners and people that are active and want to explore athens in a different way. Our running leader was very pleasant and a full smile gave the extra push for a perfect exercise morning!

The experience was a great idea to explore Athens in the morning without crowded streets. The leader was really gentle and caring about my LVl of my fitness. I recommend to everyone that enjoy running!

The run and the trail was amazing, George really took us to a hidden parts of Athens and the whole experience was fantastic. recommend to everyone that love morning running!

What a nice way to start the day. Exploring the hidden urban trail of Athens is something magical. Our tour leader was very friendly and made our trip unique!

This experience is a great way to start your day! If you love running amd exploring a city this is perfect for you. Our team leader was full of smile and very energetic and make the root very pleasant...

We had a great run and was so nice the sun was not too hot and the guide was very pleasant. We saw athens before the craziness of the day and i really recommend to start your day like that!

Very friendly, lovely run. No pressure at all with regards to pace. Great way to get your bearings in the centre of Athens.

Gregory gave a good history lesson and we enjoyed this activity. We would’ve liked more time for the “learning how to fight” portion, instead of the in-depth history lesson since the description is what attracted us to this activity. My son still enjoyed it but more fighting lesson would make it a 5-star for us.

The run was wonderful! Highly recommend for being Athens in a different way. Gregory adjust running speed/distance as needed. Was the best start to my mornings in Athens yet!

Really lovely experience, Grigios was very friendly and accommodating. There was just me so we did a slightly longer run, stopped whenever I wanted for photos & learnt some things about Athens! If you’re looking for a run, I highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my casual early morning run with George. It was the perfect start to the day got me outside seeing Athens in the morning lights with someone who knew where to go had a predefined route that hit a lot of great things and it was mindless but fun just perfect!

Incredible experience with our guide George. Took us to some brilliant spots around central Athens and some nice neighbourhoods nearby. Brilliant views and great company throughout. As the guests, you can set the pace to however it may feel comfortable. Would 1000% recommend to anyone who likes to keep active on holiday. Did this experience on the first day of our holiday and has given us such a good map of where to go for the rest of the trip.

What an amazing way to discover the city. George was also extremely knowledgeable. The best way to get climatized and to immerse yourself into the culture.

Nice run on streets in Athens with George in early morninig. We talked about different things, ran in a perfect tempo, saw a lot of places. He was a very good guide and I appreciate it very much. Thanks

George was really good company on the run. It is run at your pace and he adds in description about where you are and a couple of things of interest, but doesn't force conversation as he knows some people just like to enjoy the run. And i ran around the olympic stadium, which was great! Its difficult to see new places and run while not getting lost, so having someone take you on a run around their local neighbourhood is a nice way to do it. Highly recommend for any runner!

Lovely experience, you can see a lot of city's signature spots. The runner guide Thomas was so kind and friendly.

The tour guide was really friendly and heplful! Really enjoyed exploring this part of Athens through this fun running experience!

My GF is not very fit but she really enjoyed the view and the Thomas wad very attentive to our needs and level. Recommended!

Me and my friends wanted to try something quick pleasant and interactive. This activity was just perfect, a morning run to make the blood pump a little bit and the view amazing!

Wonderful run!! Pace was adjusted as needed and the route was tailored to interests/capabilities. Super pleasant morning and great way to see Athens highlights.

This is a wonderful jog through the city. I'm an avid jogger, so to be on vacation and the chance to jog with a local was the perfect start to my day. This was a wonderful experience to jog through the streets of Athens learning my way around and some history along the way. Greg runs at your pace and chats pleasantly along the way.

This running tour was one of the best i had participated. We had a wonderfull time as we saw all the important landmarks and sites of Athens within 1.5 hours, while we were running! There were some breaks for photos and views. We highly recommend it for anyone visiting Athens.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to go for running while watching Athens highlights! Grigoris was very kind with a great taste of humour...we had a great time ..

Great day for a walk and the trail was magnificent! I loved the highlights that Athens can offer!!!!!!

A unique experience for me and my friends, we explored some of the best spots in Athens. Grigoris was very kind and he drove us so smoothly. Highly recommend it, thank you Grigoris!

It was a wonderful trip and spend time with friends doing something different, i was definitely suggest it!!!👍👍

Historical run is a great idea to have a quick tour of all the sightseeing that Athens has to offer you!!!

Really amazing way to get to know the city and get your exercise in! Gregoris was such a good guide and made sure the run/walk was at the right pace for us! I'd do it again in another city as it is a great idea for getting to see which monuments you want to explore more later on.

I loved the experience was a great and an unique surprise for my birthday ❤️❤️❤️. My and my friends enjoyed this tour!!!

Nice walk, nice experience. In one point was a little quick for me, but Gregorios lower the run ruthom so It could be good for me. I recommend it!!!
