History, nostalgia, fitness and FUN! - If you want to see Glasgow in a totally unique way, run it with Sean from Aye Run. Sean went out of his way to make the run relevant to me, even taking us off track on occasion. I learned so much about Glasgow’s beginnings, which, as a tourist in my old hometown, was surprising and fascinating. I was especially impressed that Sean managed to keep the pace, deliver a lively commentary, and snap some fun photos along the way! If you can run a few kilometres and have your running shoes with you, jump on this tour. It’s at a comfortable pace and offers great value

An amazing, alternative way to see Glasgow with a great guide - Loved the guided running tour with Sean, who is very knowledgeable about all things glasgow throughout the tour. Very friendly and accommodating with questions via email before the run. Well worth the money and a great way to see glasgow and gain knowledge that a lot of the locals won't even know. Sean took pictures throughout and sent them almost immediately after the run ended which was a nice touch

Running Tour of Glasgow, December 2024 - What an amazing way to see the city! It was our first time taking a running tour and Sean was a great guide! He shared a lot of interesting stories about Glasgow without boring historical lectures. We saw the city centre and learned about Glasgow history from ancient times to modern days. Totally recommend!

Fun run! - A great way to see the city! I am a local but it was nice to explore new areas and hear a bit of history. Sean was great and I would love to do this in other cities!

A lovely wee tour - I moved to Glasgow 6 months ago so booked on the tour to see new parts of the city. I got so much more. Sean (the guide) is relaxed, knowledgeable and very easy company. The tour provides a little of everything, history, street art, culture etc. The tour started at 8am meaning we had the city to ourselves. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who likes a wee run and good company in a fascinating and beautiful city

Best way to discover the city - Such a great way to go around the city and learn about its history! Sean is a fantastic guide and knows lots about the place, from historical events to more obscure facts. It isn’t as info heavy than normal touristic tour so you can actually remember most of it! The running pace is not too fast so that you can have a chat while on the go, but fast enough that you can cover a lot of ground and get some exercise. Even though I’ve been living in Glasgow for almost 20 years, I still learned a lot about the city!
