This was amazing. Angela and Mike were outstanding. We enjoyed it all and would do it again. The tour itself is worth every minute as you learn, you have fun, you feel New Yorker while you keep fit! Angela is such a fun companion of the run and a great tour guide. She understands when to pause the run! So you feel energized all the time. Mike will complement your tour guide and go a long way to make your experience a memorable one. He accommodated a change of schedule we requested without hesitation, provided water to us and in the end even some nutrition bars. They know how to make you feel special. Highly recommended!

The Fun Run was the PERFECT way to explore Central Park & learn all the unique things I never would have known without it. Our guide, Morgan, was absolutely amazing. She’s such a sweet soul & really knows her stuff about her city! 100% recommend the Fun Run during your visit to NY!!

Would 10/10 recommend. Elena was the best tour guide and the running part was not exhausting. Easy for unexperienced runners
