I did the 21K tour in Buenos Aires with local runner Damian.
The good experience started the day before when Damian shared the route with me through Garmin Connect. I had a sneakpeak already and knew what to expect.
Damian is very good running company. He guides you through the city while paying attention to your safety. Damian is nice to talk with and we chatted about family, football, hobbies and of course Buenos Aires. At all the city hotspots Damian gave a bit of explanation and took pictures. Damian also made sure that I could orientate myself in the city: always explaining from which direction or neighbourhood we were coming, which landmark was where, where we were headed afterwards … At the end of the tour I had the feeling that I saw a lot of the BA hotspots and that I knew my way around – perfect to explore the city more by myself.
I would recommend this tour to anybody who wants to have a nice run in Buenos Aires.

The guide (Damian) provides an excellent tour of the historic landmarks of Buenos Aires. Damian is very welcoming, goes at your pace, takes care of your safety, explains the history of the city in very good English, and, most importantly, is great company. Whether you want to have a challenging workout, or just take in the city’s landmarks at an easy pace, Damian is your man. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic tour with Damian. What a great way to see the city and get your running in safely despite not knowing your way around a new city. Damian was great to talk to… about all types of topics, I saw great sights in the city, and got my exercise in. My only regret is this: I only booked the tour on the day when I arrived in Buenos Aires for a four-day trip and thus I was only able to book one tour. Next time I would book in advance and that way I would possibly be able to run with Damian more than once. I would totally recommend this.

I enjoyed my city tour run around Buenos Aires. Damian was friendly and easy to chat too and we covered many topics (not just running). The route was varied and I got to see different parts of the city which was really interesting, from the beautiful parks to more cultural areas. The pace was good and Damian kindly brought along some water for me (it was a hot day!). I would recommend this to anyone, it’s an excellent way to see the city, enjoy good company and stretch your legs!

I really enjoyed the tour with Damian. I flew in that morning and he took care of all the details so I could enjoy the sights and the run. He even found a great pastry shop by my hotel to stop after. Thanks again Damian

For my work I needed to travel to BA and I am also preparing myself to run a marathon at the end of this year. So because I had limited time for sightseeing and need to also do a run according my schedule, I went on google to see what options I had. The first link was gorunningtours, and think it’s also the best :-).
I signed up for the 20k and had a great sunday morning, not only it was nice weather, but also the company of Damian was great and we had a lot of conversation about a little bit of everything. I really would recommend people who like running and see need things, this is 10x better then the hop on, hop off tours.
For sure, next time when I am going to another city I will check on this site if they have a run their also.
Damian thats for the great day
