I had a great experience on the Run tour. Monica was very informative and went out to pace that was comfortable for me. She was very knowledgable and showed me all the sites before it got too busy. I thoroughly enjoyed this and we recommend it.

My guide was Rohan. He was very knowledgeable, great company for the run and a lot of fun. I was fortunate to be the only attendee which meant Rohan focused on my needs. I’d been travelling with my 2 year old and it was my first time in Barcelona. I used the running tour as a way of seeing sights I’d missed while my wife and daughter had a lie in. I wasn’t disappointed as I was able to see so many sights I’d missed and also get a different perspective of the city seeing it before most people woke up. The price was very reasonable. I’d highly recommend the running tour to anyone visiting Barcelona.
Our guide, Rohan, was very warm and welcoming and had great information to share. He led us to some historical sites as well as the architectural highlights of the city. We took the 7:30 am tour and it was cool and calm-before everyone else was even awake.
The tour was so fun! Ended up being the only person on the tour so we could run at a nice conversational pace. Audrey is so knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend and got to see so many places before the crowds!
If you are even a casual runner, this is a great way to see the city before the crowds take over the streets. The group was just 3 runners + the guide which made for a perfect size to set a pace and be able to enjoy the commentary and snap a few photos.
Andra was an excellent guide and gave us a great overview of Barcelona, along with Spanish history. It was also nice to see many areas of Barcelona early, when weather was cooler and without crowds.
This running tour was excellent. It is the best way to see the city. My tour guide was also very knowledgeable and made the run/tour enjoyable. I'm a slow runner and the guide adjusted to my pace. The tour was customized to my preference - i wanted more sightseeing and shorter runs stints. Overall great experience.
I booked this for my daughters and they were so excited afterwards because they saw so many sights while enjoying running! Audrey was their tour guide and she was the BEST and made sure their experience was memorable. Forever grateful and would highly recommend to those that are wanting an overview of the city while being guided on a safe and fun run! Also, I contacted them before meeting up to make sure we were at the right location and they were super nice, patient and friendly. Can’t say enough good things! Thank you, Audrey and Viator!
Exceeded all expectations. A smart thing to do, not only by start your day actively, but also to quickly familiarize yourself with the town with a local runner/guide.
I love to run to see everything Barcelona has to offer, and I heartily recommend this for first-timers. It's different in the morning, when you can find all the nice places without the crowd. Emy shared the place's history and was well-informed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service for me.
Nice way to see Barcelona early before it gets crowded. Monika the tour guide/runner was fun and knowledgeable. 💯 recommend.
I was the only one booked (low season) so it was a private tour. Monika was great and taught me a lot about the city. I had arrived the afternoon before, so this was the perfect thing to do the next morning (a good way to wake up) I highly recommend this activity to anyone who enjoys physical activity. Seeing the city this early is quite peaceful.
The running tour is a really fun and efficient way to see the city if you’re short on time or love running!
Went for a morning run with Audrey. Excellent way to get to know the city. The Tour guide has great knowledge and also keeps the run easy and enjoyable. She also gave great tips on other places to visit while in the city.
Such an amazing experience. First time doing a running tour and would do again for sure. Went out with Rohan and learned so much about Barcelona. Saw a lot of stuff I would have missed otherwise.
Fun and informative, if you are a runner (even just a little bit), this tour is for you. Our tour started earlier in the morning, before the city was truly awake. It was great to see and understand Barcelona. Our guide, Monika, was engaging and possessed a wealth of knowledge, not just about the architecture but also the city's history. We laughed, we ran, we took a lot of pictures. The list of recommendations after the run was invaluable. I did the tour with my adult daughter while the rest of our group slept in; it truly was one of the best mornings we had. Not to mention, we knew all the perfect spots to bring our family back to. Thank you, Monika, you were a delight!
My fiancée and I had a wonderful experience with Monika. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the city! And of course, the run was very enjoyable with her.
What a fantastic experience. Emy my guide was lovely, so friendly and knowledgeable. Had an amazing run tour of Barcelona, history was so interesting and Emy was so positive and it was great to spend time running with her, would definitely recommend
I thoroughly enjoyed the running tour with Emy!! The early start made sure we had nice weather and streets that weren’t crowded. She was knowledgeable about the sites and history. She took to me to all the places I wanted to see and made nice recommendations. Emy was kind and patient, the pace was comfortable and met my needs. 10/10 totally recommended!!
Thank you, Emy! You were a great tour guide! I appreciated your story about living here and favorite places and activities. Sorry that we didn’t have time to try your rock climbing spots. Tapas and Monserrat suggestions were great. I appreciated the pace of the tour and time to answer questions. Thanks again! Greg
Sam tailored the run for me because he had been my guide a year ago and wanted to show me different sights. He gave me ample time to take pictures or catch my breath or have water.
In my opinion, this was the best way to see the city. Our guide, Rohan, was knowledge and fun! We had such a great time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Training for a half marathon so arranged for four private training runs in Spain (three with LocalRunGuide and one with another vendor). I booked a private 10K run in BCN for my wife, 20 yo daughter, and me; our guide was Andra and she was great. It's a very good way to see the city and Andra was knowledgeable and accommodated our pace.
Such a great way to get acquainted with this beautiful city. Emi was our guide and she was very informative and lovely to run with. My wife and I highly recommend this tour.
Great way to explore the city before it gets crowded. Diletta was such a great tour guide. Definitely recommend.
I loved this running tour ! It was very helpful for my rest of the sight seeing. The tour guid was very friendly and I had a lot of fun running together. I highly recommend you to get up early, join this tour, and enjoy quiet Barcelona!
I took a morning tour with Andra, part of the Local Run Guide, and saw the nicest places in Barcelona while enjoying a beautiful sunrise. She is fluent in English and a great companion for a cultural run. I highly recommend booking a running tour because it's probably the best way to discover a city!
Joined the LocalRunGuide's morning run in Barcelona, and it was a scenic adventure! 🏃♂️🌇 The route took us through iconic Barcelona landmarks, and our guide's local knowledge made it an informative and fun experience. Running and sightseeing all in one - couldn't have asked for a better way to start the day!
Sam was very knowledgeable and considerate. Many interesting sights covered and tidbits not known before. Got a good workout before breakfast, too!
The host never showed up and was unavailable to contact. I also have been unable to contact anyone for a refund. Incredibly disappointing 😩
What a wonderful experience! Our tour guide was nice, professional motivated and highly qualified. It was nice running and walking throughout the streets of Barcelona.
I had a lot of fun!! The guide was well informed with interesting personality!! The route was easy and nice!! Highly recommended
We ran with Rohan in Barcelona and it was such a good way to explore the city! It is perfect to run in the morning when the city still sleeps and the temperature is good for running. Rohan took us to all the famous sights, such as La Rambla, La Sagrada Familia and Gaudis famous buildings as well as describing the different districts we passed. We also got good tips regarding where to eat and beaches and so on. We really enjoyed both running, this unique way to see the city and having a great talk with Rohan during the run. This running tour is highly recommended for runners on all levels! We will definately look for similar tours in other cities as well in the future. Many thanks for a great experience!
Great running tour with Nikos and LocalRunGuide. We saw lots of sights in a short space of time, and it was an ideal way to familiarise ourselves with the city. Would recommend!
Very fun and unique experience running through the (quiet) city streets in the early morning. Addys was a great tour guide, sharing different historical and cultural information along the way! 10/10 definitely recommend
A different way to experience Barcelona. Would absolutely recommend it to all people who enjoy Running. The Guide was also really nice and gave a lot of insider tipps what locations to visit in the City.
