Absolutely amazing run with Hamidou! He was an amazing tour guide and good running partner for a few hours! Location was great and the route was very good. Would highly recommend. Andréa was very helpful with booking and all questions.

The running tour with Andrea was an absolute pleasure! I had the best time and got to know a lot about Paris. Especially for the mommies, it was the best tour you could imagine: a perfect time of day, very time-efficient, and you combine pleasure with a workout. It was such a win-win situation for me, I got a highly efficient Paris excursion and still made it back to my baby right on time! I would recommend it to everyone and would definitely do it again. Andrea was very professional, punctual, well-spoken, friendly, funny, and also a great photographer. I love my photos very much. Thanks a lot again! 🙏
Amazing running tour with great pictures! Jamison was an excellent guide. He not only gave us the history, but answered any question we had. He stopped and took great pictures of my husband and I. Highly recommend this tour!
Great way to see the city and get a workout at the same time. It’s nice seeing Paris in the morning when you have most of the attractions to yourself as well. Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Run Run Tours – A Must-Do in Paris! I had such an incredible experience with Run Run Tours in Paris! The guide (and owner) was phenomenal—she’s an ultramarathoner, incredibly knowledgeable, and super patient. It ended up being just me and one other runner from NYC (who was so nice and fun to run with), so the tour felt really personal. We covered about 8 miles at a relaxed pace with plenty of stops at major sights. She shared deep, thoughtful history along the way—you can tell she teaches tourism and history because she knows so much. It was genuinely impressive. Highlights included visiting a sparkling water fountain, an empty Louvre, and Trocadéro at sunrise. She even filmed me running into the empty Louvre courtyard, which my friends now laugh at saying I “paid someone to video me”—technically true, but it was her idea and ended up being such a cool, memorable moment! I usually go for runs solo when I travel, but this was such a better way to explore. No fumbling with my phone, no guessing what I was looking at—just a smooth, fun, super informative run through one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And best of all? I saw so much before most of the city (and my family) was even awake!
Andrea is great and has a very good attitude. She makes sure everyone is having a good experience and never leaves anyone behind.
Wow! What a fantastic way to see Paris! Andrea was amazing, such a wealth of knowledge about the city's history. I really learnt a lot. Also - she took amazing photos. Great to see many of the sites without the crowds. Importantly, she took really great care of myself and the other runner, ensuring we were comfortable with the pace and supplying plenty of water, particularly as we were out during a heatwave. Thank you so much Andrea. 100% recommend!
Andrea did an excellent job leading this tour! From the initial warm welcome to the final stop at the Eiffel Tower, she anticipated every need: Water, granola bar, tissues, and confirming my comfort with the pace. I appreciated her wealth of the city's history and anecdotes, making it one of my favorite of MANY great European tours.
We completely enjoyed our morning run with Andrea. She took us to all the best sites to see in Paris, and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. She took many great pictures of us to share with family and to remember this lovely vacation. 😍 Thank you Andrea for a great start to our day.
My husband and I had a wonderful run with Andrea. We have done a couple of other great run tours in London and Stockholm but this one was even better! Lots of information and pictures before the crowds arrived. Highly recommend this tour.
This was an AMAZING experience. I was able to learn about Paris its connection to American history and lots of cool facts. The pace was fair and adjustable to your needs. This tour was solo, however I can see that a group experience would be just as memorable. My tour guide Andrea was a godsend. She made me feel comfortable and helped me finish with great photos every step of the way.
I am not an experienced runner. This was magical. The early start was a challenge but was so worth it to see the sun rise over Paris and to run past many famous sites and over iconic bridges. Recommend.
Andréa and I went out for an early morning running and she was a fantastic guide and host. She is truly a remarkable person and brought the history of the city to life. Thanks so much! Best of luck on your ultra in the Alps this year!!
Run Run tours was a fun and informative way to see the city at sunrise. There were few people out and the guide was knowledgeable and fun, highly recommend!
This was so fun! Definitely sign up - do not hesitate. If you’re up for staying active on your trip and you love to run …this is the absolute best way to see the city minus the crowds! Andrea is a wonderful tour guide. Just do it, you won’t regret it. Your legs may be tired after but I’ve never regretted going for a run … 🙃
What a wonderful way to see the city and learn about the history of Paris!! Andrea was fantastic and I would highly recommend this tour.
Stories from Anndrea. She is the best. I hsd a lot of fun during this tour, exercised a bit and learnt a lot about Paris.
Run was great . Hamidou was awesome if your are runner and enjoy waking up it’s a great way to see a city . Must do if you are in Paris
This experience was a great way to see Paris, start the day and get some awesome photos along the way! Our host was awesome and ensured we had enough time to work up a sweat while building in time to make it to the most notable landmarks around the city. I recommend starting your trip with a tour like this. The pace isn't too strenuous, especially for regular runners, and there are plenty of stops along the way. I got a great workout and some wonderful pics to share with family and friends.
Hamidou was great. Really made this an amazing experience. The mix of running and seeing the sights were perfect and he planned the tour based on what the runners wanted to experience.
Excellent 🤩🙌🏻 The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Recommend to everyone for an efficient sightseeing in Paris 🇫🇷
Most unforgettable tour of Paris while doing my favorite thing- RUNNING!! Hamidou was an amazing guide! Highly recommend for any fitness enthusiasts out there!
We had an awesome adventure despite a rainy day. Hamadou was a great tour guide and we got to see so many beautiful places in Paris.
Fantastic way to see the city and off the beaten track. Early morning, no crowds. Hamidou was very considerate for pace, knowledgeable and interesting. Rained the whole tour but didn’t detract from the experience. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
Fantastic tour. Hamidou is a great guide (very knowledgeable) but what makes it truly special is the route he curates. Do the 21km route if you can!
Hamidou was my tour guide and did an amazing job. I enjoyed his the knowledge he shared about the various sights we stopped at and enjoyed seeing the city before it was really busy with tourists!
So much fun! Great guide who knew Paris well. Fantastic way to see Paris before it gets crowded!! The highlight of my Paris trip! Worth every penny.
An early morning magical mystery running tour through the streets of Paris with Hamidou. There were 5 guest runners, 4 were French speaking and 1 English speaking (me). Such a pleasure to run through the empty streets and witness the sights and sounds of Paris in the morning. My husband followed on an e-bike and throughly enjoyed himself too. Lots of fun and laughter along the way and memories made.
Excellent morning run through the streets of Paris with Hamidou! He was very knowledgeable and made the run a good experience. Highly recommend.
Instructions on where to meet were great. The guide showed up, and off we went. There were only 2 of us, but I am very slow. The guide waited until I caught up to give us the information about each site. The route we took was beautiful, and we saw all the major sites finishing with the Eiffiel Tower. I left there, as the other person wanted to return faster than I could go. The guide made sure I knew where I was going and how to get there. It was lots of fun - just wish I was faster.
This was a great run getting to see the sights of Paris without crowds, meet new people, hear about different places and get in a workout while away!
My running tour was amazing. It was an incredible way to experience the history and beauty of Paris with my love of running. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
This run was definitely one of the best things I’ve done in Paris. I ran 5k with Hamidou and 2 guys and they stayed with my pace which was nice. We ran in front of many beautiful monuments when no one else was there, and it was so peaceful. Hamidou talked about the history of different places which was really interesting. I’d definitely do it again. Highly recommend!
Guide,Hamidu was on time, pleasant and informative. A real runner... I had originally signed up for a private running tour and it's unclear how the website didn't work to exclude making it a group tour, (they refunded the difference after okaying it with me). Having said that, there were two others in the group. One was another marathoner and one was a recreational runner that was the only detractor ... I did it the first morning of our stay in Paris so that I was able to get the lay of the land and gain comfort with the running routes.. I would have given it a 4.5 but that's not a choice. It would have been a easy 5. Had it been a solo venture.
Loved this tour and I’m so glad we did it. Hamidou was great - willing to go at the pace we needed (ages 18 and 50+). We saw all the major sights, got memorable photos, and learned the layout of the city in a much better way than taking a bus tour or the Metro.
Great way to start a city break. Hamidou was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt. His communication before the event was clear. He took time to introduce himself and gave everyone in the group the chance to do the same. He also took time to assess the running ability of everyone and kept a pace that meant the group stayed together. We saw all the main attractions in the centre on each side of the Seine. We had the best part of the day - sunrise with little traffic and few people - almost felt we had the city to ourselves. Can’t recommend it enough.
Great early morning run with Andrea around the Paris sights. Andrea was very knowledgeable on Parisian history and took some great photos & videos. Would definitely recommend. A great way to see the sights without the crowds.
This was my wife and my first running tour and we'd do it again. Hamidou was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and took some great pics he sent to us. We were able to see/visit many of the key sights in a short period of time with few tourists around Overall, we ran 11k at about a 6:30/km pace which could have definitely been faster as Hamidou and the other participant in our group were marathoners (my wife and I are not...) The only thing that would have been better is that the beginning of the tour included several stops early on. Since it was January and cold, I would have appreciated a longer warm-up jog to start the tour.
I am a recreational runner (not in training, not a marathoner...i.e. I run slowly), and at first was apprehensive about my level of fitness fitting in with this tour. I am so happy that I took the chance and booked this tour at the beginning of my Paris vacation. Hamidou was an excellent pacer and an amazing guide through Paris. I was able to easily keep up the pace and it was thrilling to see the sights of Paris before the city woke up. We were able to run through the familiar hallmarks of Paris, a large outdoor market, the beautiful bridges and wrap our journey up along the Seine. I would recommend this trip to everyone who enjoys running. It is certainly a memory I will cherish. I also recommend that new comers to Paris schedule this at the beginning of their trip - it was so helpful to start my trip off with a knowledge of the city that helped me navigate my way around the rest of my vacation. Thank you so much run run tours!!
I had such an awesome time! What a way to start my birthday, get a nice run in and learn Paris history. Hamidou was kind and very knowledgeable! Im pleased and would do this again!
This was one of the highlights of our trip! Hamidou was a wonderful guide, ran at our pace and took a ton of pictures for our group. Highly recommend, I would do this one again and again. Will look for other cities when we travel.
This was an amazing tour - Andrea worked with us to make it work with our itinerary which allowed us to not miss out. It was so lovely to enjoy the quiet streets of Paris and watch them wake up. Hamidou was fantastic, he adjusted the tour to our running level, took tons of pictures, and shared great information. Would totally do this one again AND will look for RunRunTours when we travel to different locations. Thank you again to Andrea and Hamidou for being such excellent hosts!
We really enjoyed the sunrise run & sightseeing in Paris. Great way to get to know the city! Hamid was nice and knew a lot of fun facts of known and less known places. Extra star for bringing me snacks in case of low bloodsugars since I have type 1 diabetes. Thank you so much for this experience 😊
Can I give 10 stars? What an amazing experience. We’re so thankful that we booked this trip, we can’t wait to come back and do it again. A treat to run through Paris, learning history and seeing even some of the least appreciated sites (things that don’t make it on the typical walking tour) 10/10 recommend this to any runner-beginner or advanced. Amadou ran at my slow pace because of my running injury, and I felt like our 10k run is one of my most memorable. Thanks for a visit of a lifetime!
Highly recommended! I was fortunate to take this tour for the first time with Andrea in 2019. Enjoyed it so much that I took it again with my husband, who said that this was one of the highlights of our vacation this year. This is the perfect combination of being active and learning about Paris. Looking forward to taking another tour with RunRun Tours the next time I am in Paris!
AMAZING tour. Highly recommend it to anybody! Perfect router, friendly and knowledgeable guide, incredible all around. Thank you!
I was thrilled to find a run tour of Paris at sunrise, and it did not disappoint! Andrea, my run tour guide, and I promptly met at 7 AM and we started the itinerary. She was very informative at all the places we stopped and passed by, and answered other questions I had along the way. Around the midway point, I ended up tripping, losing my balance, and I fell. It was a very stupid fall on my part, but Andrea was so kind and gracious. She asked me if I preferred to stop, get a coffee, or walk. Andrea showed genuine concern, but thankfully I was able to brush it off and keep going, as we still had the Eiffel Tower to see up close at Trocadero Square! She also took pictures along the way. If you enjoy running, I would highly suggest you taking this beautiful tour around Paris in the early morning hours, when there are few people on its city streets. Thank you, Andrea!
We had an amazing tour with Andrea. Even though it was drizzling, she showed us the highlights of Paris through this wonderful jogging tour. She knows all about the history of Paris, and she's been the best tour guide we've had. Andrea just went at our jogging pace, and there were plenty of stops to enjoy the sights and take pictures. I highly recommend her!
A great Paris experience with our guide Amidou! I did a morning run and the city was quite, less tourists, good possibility to make photos and also to be photographed by the guide. We visited a lot of interesting places, Amidou took care of us, carried water for us and made us feel absolutely safe during the run. Absolutely recommended for every runner with any condition level!
My sister and I visited Paris with her son for spring break this year. After hearing me rave about how fun running tours were (I did one in Brussels and Saint Petersburg, Russia), she agreed to join me so I signed the two of us up for a tour with Run Run Tours. We had a blast with Hamidou as our tour guide covering 7.5 miles touring beautiful landmarks and neighborhoods around Paris. We signed up for the 10K option, but I think we were able to cover more ground that morning because it was just the two of us. We were pleasantly surprised that the tour included our tour guide taking photos for us; what a treat! It was great fun chatting with Hamidou and sharing our love of marathon races around the world. Running tours are the absolute best and most enjoyable way to explore world-class cities like Paris. We also loved our t-shirts; they are super cute, a great fit, and a much more meaningful souvenir than most things, plus it's not ' touristy' item. Highly recommend this tour!
