THE ROME HISTORIC BUCKET LIST TOUR - 8K
Runner on the ground - GLAUCO
Welcome to the world’s largest open air museum run! The “Bucket List Tour 8km” historical center run offers you the chance to explore some of the world’s most famous piazzas and monuments. As you run, you’ll not only experience the rich history of Rome, but you’ll also discover the contrasts that define this incredible city and see for yourself why it’s called the Eternal City!
The journey begins at Piazza del Popolo, a grand and often misunderstood square where layers of Roman history intertwine, from the Ancient Egypt to Napoleon times. Key stops along the route include the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and the Pantheon. This unique experience also lets you enjoy Rome’s most beautiful piazzas, such as Piazza Navona, San Pietro, and Piazza Venezia, all without the usual crowds.
As we navigate through one of Rome’s popular shopping districts, with stops at the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, your guide will offer shopping and dining tips for this central area.
Winding through Rome’s side streets, you’ll witness daily life unfold laundry hanging from centuries old windows, ivy covered walls, and possibly blooming bougainvilleas or fragrant jasmines if it’s the season.
No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at Piazza della Rotonda to admire the Pantheon, standing out not only for its impressive architecture and ingenious engineering but also for its lasting impact on the history and culture of both Rome and the world at large. Did you know it remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world?
This private tour is led by passionate running guides eager to share their beloved city with you! We’ll run at your pace and stop for photos whenever you wish. The route includes numerous potable water fountains, still fed by ancient Roman aqueducts!
The tour is perfect for all runners, featuring mostly flat city roads.

We had a great run with Dario, it was so much fun to see the highlights of Rome without the crowds, as well as a few special spots we would never have found on our own! He was happy to go our pace (and was very encouraging on the hills!) – we would highly recommend this tour.

We had a blast running with Claudia this morning. She helped us work out the jet-lag from travelling and get our bearings in Rome. She also showed us the little things on our route that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. It was so fun!
It was a great thing to do for the start of our trip – Highly recommend!

We had a great time running around Rome with Claudia! Claudia was really friendly and super informative and showed us all the must see spots of the city. Would really recommend doing the run near the start of your trip to get tips and recommendations for the rest of your stay. Great length for tour as well and Claudia was great for keeping at a pace that worked for us.

This is an incredible experience. Our run with Claudio was so much fun. Seeing the sights before the crowds and getting the best pictures in Rome. Highly recommend unless you hate exercise and love tourists.

Very relaxed and friendly tour with Claudio. We really enjoyed it and think this is the best way to discover Rome: nice light in the morning, no crowds and cool breeze. And Claudio was charming company.

Fabrizio met us before sunrise on our last day in Rome. He ran a very comfortable pace allowing us to ask questions and take in all the information he was sharing about the sights of Rome. He was very informative and gave us information we hadn’t received from tours we had went on during our stay in Rome. We got to see all the sights with no crowds at all!
The 8k bucket list tour brought us everywhere and even to places we didn’t know about like the keyhole. Which was a great surprise after running up one of the 7 hills of Rome.
This tour was the perfect way to finish our stay in Rome. We enjoyed meeting Fabrizio and can’t wait to take another running tour soon.

Dario took me on an awesome 10km run through the heart of Rome showing me the sights and providing a highly informative commentary about Romes history and current status. It was fun ???? and the most awesome way to start a day! If I had gone for a run ????♀️ by myself I would never have known how to navigate the 10k route we took. This was so worthwhile- I wholly recommend this!

Fabrizio thank you for an amazing understanding of your beautiful city. You have left us with a beautiful memory of running in Rome. Fabrizio took us of the beaten track and showed us things in Rome that were would never would have seen including the ‘keyhole of the city’ & the Jewish quarters. We loved running and watching the city wake up. Highly recommend.

Great early morning run to get the blood pumping. I had some nice conversation with Anita. We talked about Italian music, culture, and history. Private tour was just the tour guide and myself. We chose the pace to run at alternating between brisk walk to endurance pace. Tomorrow and later this week, I am doing a running tour in Florence and Venice with this company.

Wonderful way to see Rome. I have been a number of times before and gone running independently though new things to see and through a local perspective when the city is still quiet. A great way to start the holiday!

I booked a 16km running tour to do with my older parents for their first time in Rome. We all loved it. Such a brilliant way to see the city before any of the crowds arrive. Simone was a wonderful guide and host and created an experience that we all enjoyed. Thanks so much!

Fantastic run with Simone on a sunny spring morning. Would definitely recommend, particularly if you’re in Rome only for a short time, or are there for work. Easy pace, and Simone was friendly and knowledgeable. This was the highlight of my time in the city.

What a fantastic way to start a day in Rome! Seeing the sites and learning the lay of the city, without all the crowds and the traffic and the lines and the busses and the tour groups… Just amazing. They were terrific guides for our group of teens. They took them on a great run, and an equally excellent tour of the city. They took fantastic pictures, and really set the tone for an amazing day. I would give these guys 10 stars if I could!

An early start but so worth it as Dario took me round the sights of Rome, running everything from the Circus Maximus to the quiet corners and everything in between. He was knowledgeable and ran at my (slow) pace. Loved it and I was back in time for breakfast. Strongly recommend.

Early morning run in Rome with Simone. Running in Rome, before the city woke up. Ran up the Spanish Stairs, no one at the Trevi Fountain but us. Simone knew everything about Rome. The best spots for a great photo overlooking Rome, the history and showed us hidden treasures, that most tourists will never sees.
I highly recommend a morning run. We saw all the famous tourist attractions and more. We had the city to ourselves and enjoyed every single mile we ran.

As we booked a private tour, Fabrizio met us at our Airbnb and led us on a running tour full of information and the sights before being overwhelmed by other tourists. Well paced, with many stops for photos and water breaks. We hit up
some sights we were planning to visit later but with Fabrizio’s help, we checked those off the list early! We feel like we made a friend in Roma! Thanks Fabrizio for helping to start our Roman Holiday!

We had a wonderful morning run with Fabrizio. We saw a lot, learned a few answers to trivia questions, and have a greater appreciation for this one of a kind place. Fabrizio guided us around effortlessly, kept the pace comfortable, and allowed for rest & water breaks at key sites. Truly the best way to run around Rome.

This is my second Go!Running Tour and it was just as great as my first one in Copenhagen. As the only runner in my family when I travel I love to run and see the cities I am in, but I am not comfortable
Of where to run – this is why I look to running tours and now Go!Running is my go to. Claudia met me at my hotel right on time and had a great route picked out for us – as I had seen some of the big sites the day prior (Palatine Hill and the Forum) not only did she make sure to take me to the other bucket list sites of Rome but some hidden gems as well. My family was later impressed with my new knowledge I was able to share with them afterwards. Running with Claudia felt like running with a friend – I will
Continue to look to Go!Running Tours and when I am back in Rome I do hope to get to run with Claudia again

Dario was a great running guide. He suggested we start earlier and I am glad we did. We beat some of the heat, got to see sights before others and got to see the sun rising. It was our favorite part of our time in Rome!

I really enjoyed a trip with Dario. He showed me a dozen of interesting places and told a lot of interesting stories about the city. Extra for that I’ve got a lot of great recommendations for places where to eat great Italian food. For sure, next time in Rome I will check another trip with him or his colleagues 🙂

Running with Daniel was a highlight of my Rome trip. His great pesonality and sharing of his knowledge of Rome made the our run go by fast. He met me at my hotel and had great route to see so many parts of the city. His insight to not only the sites to see but also tips about the city made it so much easier to plan the rest of my stay in Rome. Highly recommend this tour. Will look for these tours in my travels to other cities.

My sister and I did a 6:30am running tour with Daniel the day after we arrived and we loved it. The city is still empty and Daniel gave us a wonderful introduction to the city… and we got to work out a bit. Thanks, Daniel! Also for the other restaurant/bar recommendations!

The Rome Bucket list run tour is an incredible way to experience the feeling of the city and all it’s sights. Daniel is a fantastic pacer and reached out in advance of the run to line up the plans and accommodations to meet and suit the conditions of the day which makes everything really stress free. I’ve been packing my shoes on trips now and will recommend this to anyone who wants to grab some mileage and get the vibe from someone living in Rome. The cobblestones, climate and traffic weren’t an issue as we did an early morning run which I highly recommend as the way to truly enjoy the run in the Eternal City. And of course, grazie e mille Daniel, for the other local recommendations on food and drink. Maybe see you at the start line of the Maratona di Roma!

I booked this running tour on my recent vacation to Roma, and I highly recommend this experience. My coach, Daniel Zacaroli, created the PERFECT experience for me! He met me at my hotel early, planned an amazing route through the highlights of the city at the pace which I requested, and dropped me back at my hotel exactly on time. Afterward, he sent me the photos he had taken while out on our run, and also emailed me quite a bit of useful and detailed information pertinent to our stay, which my family appreciated being able to use. He was professional and friendly. I really got to see all the best parts of Roma before the city was awake and crowded, best of all working my training schedule into my vacation. For any runner, put this on your bucketlist!

Kan varmt rekommendera detta sätt att bli guidad på, helt fantastiskt ! Vi startade kl 6 och fick möta ett uppvaknande Rom. Daniel var en perfekt guide. Anpassade löptempot efter precis det vi ville. Kan varmt rekommendera detta.
