Amazing experience

5.00Without a doubt doing a running tour is one of the best experiences I could live in my trip to Europe. Even more so with Jean-Charles who worried about picking me up at the door of my house, he created a circuit especially for me, explained each place, took photographs of me and that we went at a very friendly pace to tour in several hours 9k of the city. Running allows you to know more places, play sports and share. I would repeat it a thousand times and for more parts of Paris. Thank you Jean-Charles!
The very best way to see Paris!

5.00We had a wonderful fast walk/run with Jean-Claude through Paris! I would highly recommend if you are interested in learning more about the history and architecture of beautiful Paris! The best way to see Paris is by foot and our tour was the perfect start to our adventures. We loved getting to know Jean-Claude and appreciated his vast knowledge and sense of humor! We look forward to our next tour when we return.

5.00As an Enterprise, we were delighted to collaborate with Jean-Charles of Paris Running Tours. Jean-Charles was very attentive and available to refine the course together. On D-Day, the activity excited all the group, thanks to rich explanations about the history, heritage, urban planning of Paris and a pace adapted to combine pleasure and effort. Thanks again!

5.00Had a solo early-morning run with Jean-Charles, who designed a custom route for me to pick me up at my hotel and meet my specific time constraints. We hit tons of historic Paris sites - he’s incredibly knowledgeable, has excellent English, indulged my butchered attempts at French, and was very friendly and sent me videos and further sightseeing recommendations after the tour. He even prepared a packet of info for me that I got to keep at the end, which included multiple maps, our run route, and 20+ stops we had made with blurb descriptions of each so that I could review all the info later/ share the experience with my mom.
Incredible running tour and running guide!

5.00Jean-Charles has been amazing from our very first interaction - always punctuate, supportive, flexible with our needs and goals, and transparent. On the day he's provided a great informative, including fun facts and iconic stops in Central Paris, doing a quite challenging route (in terms of a shape), and in a good pace with a bigger group of people. The whole group shared how impressed they were with the organisation and expressed they'd love to do a similar activity soon.
An unforgettable way to see Paris!

5.00I greatly enjoyed my running tour with Jean-Charles! He was an excellent guide, sharing his detailed knowledge of Paris' history and sights over the course of a 5-mile route through Paris' Latin Quarter. We stopped for multiple photographs along the way. He even came prepared with 5 color pages of maps and photographs, with notes about many of the points of interest along the way. I spent the rest of our time in Paris pointing out sights and sharing anecdotes with my family. My only regret is that I didn't purchase a running shirt. It would have been a wonderful memento of my morning running through Paris.
