The guides know EVERYTHING about the city. I asked lots of questions about lots of buildings and couldn't stump them even once. The pace is very easy, and with frequent stopping, even non-runners won't have a hard time completing the course. I don't think we ran more than a quarter of a mile without stopping to take a photo or... More

If you are reading this, sign up for the City Running Tour now! It was so much fun, informative, and a really great way to spend the morning. My daughter is the runner... I can barely keep up... but this did not deter Marlin or make our running tour any less enjoyable. We did the Run to Wrigley on Memorial... More

I am not much of a runner but am very interested in Chicago history. I am from Chicago but the other runner on the tour was from out of town. Our running guide Mike did a fantastic job! He made the tour conversational, funny, informative and fun. It was a beautiful day in Grant Park and a wonderful experience!

I originally booked this tour after hearing all the nice things that were said about Marlin and his tour. My wife is really the runner in the family so I thought this would be an excellent way to see the city. Well, I was right. What a great time we had with Marlin. We did the Tower to Tower run... More

Let me start off by saying the wife and I are not really runners. However, we did enjoying running on this tour. There were so many sights to see, and so much history but behind all the sites that we saw. Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable and had a lot of interesting information that he shared with us.... More

My husband and I did the Devil in the White City run, and loved running with Marlin. The running tour took us through parts of the city that we would never visit on our own and also highlighted some of the key points from the book. I highly recommend reading the book prior to the run. Marlin will send to... More

My boyfriend and I completed the Tower to Tower running tour with Marlin on May 1st, 2013. He was an incredible tour guide that was kind, energetic and very knowledgable about the city. It was great to have a private tour since we were able to pick our own running pace and discuss more detailed questions and facts about the... More

I recently visited Chicago for the first time with my GF, and was torn trying to decide whether to discover the city via bike tour, river cruise or run. We opted for the third choice and never looked back. After settling on the "Tower to Tower" course, Marlin met us at our hotel and we set off to discover some... More

We participated in the Tragic Events running tour on April 13th. Though we registered late the evening before, Marlin emailed and called us to make sure we knew what to do the morning of the run. Our guide was Aaron, and even though this was one of his first solo tours, he made it fun and entertaining. The tour lasted... More
