City Run Europa

I booked a tour with City Runs because they had a better selection of different tours (over different distances), and better prices than the other running tour companies. Gérald was quick to reply to my booking and to communicate with me when he had to change our arrangements for a tour guide. As I organised my booking at fairly short notice, he had some difficulty confirming the availability for an English-speaking tour guide. He offered to refund me, but I was keen to run anyway, so we got by with a combination of his English (which was perfectly adequate for the tour despite his misgivings) and my rusty French. I deliberately chose the 'Europe' tour as I was interested to see the various EU institutions which I knew my family wouldn't otherwise have the time or inclination to visit. He met me in the city centre, very close to our accommodation near the Grand Place, and I got to see the palace, Cinquentenaire Park, and some beautiful art nouveau buildings (some designed by Victor Horta), as well as the European Parliament, European Commission, Council of Europe, and the Palais de Justice (from a distance). He was happy to meet early in the morning, which meant I could get my run in and still have the day left for family activities. It was a great experience.
