Our family loved the running tour led by Lapo. We had a great time seeing Florence while enjoying some exercise and spending time together. I would recommend this to anyone as Lapo can customize the speed, distance, etc… to any level of running. Thank you so much for such a great time,

We absolutely loved our running tour with Lapo and would recommend it to any of our friends and family visiting Florence. We learned so much more than we expected and it was the perfect way to explore a new city Lapo shared lots of info with us that only the locals would know, and after the tour, even sent us an extensive list of restaurant and activity recommendations for the rest of our trip. My husband is not even a runner, but after the tour, he admitted that because of how great our experience was, he wants to do a Go Running Tour in every new city we visit! Thank you Lapo for the highlight of our trip!!

Lapo was a delightful running guide! My friend hasn’t done a running tour before and he was very good about setting a pace she and I could enjoy! The little bits of Florence history made the tour unique and provided a local perspective! Loved the phrase, “what are you building the Duomo?” Aka what’s taking so long! 🙂
I would highly recommend for new and more experienced runners!

Enjoyed Lapo’s guided running tour. He let my wife and I (in our fifties) dictate pace so by breakfast on our first morning in Florence we’d already got a feel for the city and its history. We particularly appreciated his follow up email with photos of us running and, as we’d requested, recommendations for modestly priced good restaurants (as well as suggestions as to what else we might like to see). If you’ve not yet taken a city running tour, wait no more! Thanks, Lupo!
