Very interesting and informative tour. Andy is an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge about the city. As a slower runner he kept the pace very manageable. Highly recommended





Esplora la storica Canterbury e la campagna circostante mentre ti portiamo in giro per le icone più belle e famose della nostra città. Scopri i segreti e le storie della città in un viaggio panoramico unico. Correremo lungo le mura della città vecchia fino ai quattro angoli della città e attraverso centinaia di anni di storie. In solo un'ora vedrai e imparerai tutto sui principali siti storici e culturali che Canterbury ha da offrire, oltre a scoprire alcuni dei molti segreti della città. La tua guida sarà felice di rispondere a qualsiasi domanda tu possa avere o anche di fare una deviazione per mostrarti qualcosa che potrebbe interessare il gruppo. Il tour è adatto a runner di tutti i livelli, dal principiante all'esperto. Correremo a qualsiasi ritmo si senta più a suo agio per il gruppo e nessuno verrà lasciato indietro. I nostri tour prevedono soste frequenti, quindi molto probabilmente sarai in grado di correre più lontano e più velocemente di quanto faresti con la tua corsa abituale.
Il nostro tour della città inizia e finisce fuori dalla cattedrale. La tua guida ti darà una visione approfondita del ruolo e dell'importanza della cattedrale nella storia della città, del suo passato drammatico e del ruolo che svolge oggi.
Quando sei sulle mura della città, corri lungo 2.000 anni di storia. Ascolta tutto su come le mura sono passate dalle primitive difese romane all'opera fortificata in pietra che vedi oggi.
Il punto più alto del tour è Dane John Mound, la misteriosa collina nel parco centrale della città. Da qui puoi vedere la maggior parte della città e avere un'idea delle sue dimensioni e della sua bellezza.
Vedrai alcuni degli edifici del monastero, fondato nel 1267 e uno dei luoghi più belli della città.
Appena fuori dalle mura della città ci sono i meravigliosi Westgate Gardens. Qui attraversiamo il fiume Stour e ci fermiamo vicino al gigantesco platano Baobab. Ha 200 anni e nasconde un segreto straordinario.
L'ingresso principale della città, questa torre medievale e portineria si trova a un imponente 18 metri ed è la più antica torre sopravvissuta in Gran Bretagna. Costruito nel 1378, la tua guida ti mostrerà alcuni dei suoi segreti e spiegherà come è stato il primo spettacolo che molti visitatori avrebbero visto all'arrivo in città.
Scopri le diverse statue e sculture intorno al teatro e come si relazionano a uno dei figli più famosi di Canterbury, Christopher Marlowe.

We had a really good time running 10k in Canterbury city with Andy! Very interesting and Andy is very friendly and funny. Would recommend!
Brilliant tour, very good knowledge of the area. Asked if the pace was okay throughout and it was great. An excellent way to see the city!
Lovely start to a sunny Sunday. Andy's story telling was well balanced - I discovered new places and people, without getting overwhelmed by too many dates and details. The running pace was just right. I would definitely recommend to both regular and ocassional runners.
Although able to run 5km in 30 mins, I worried this tour would be a challenge rather than a pleasant informative jog around the city. I should not have worried. Andy's interesting, informative and fun tour was thoughtfully and appropriately gauged for my ability and was a very gentle jog. It is a perfect way of seeing the main places of historical note in Canterbury plus a few lesser known spots.
We were looking for a tour of Canterbury and came across this running tour with 5 star reviews. Must be good then we thought, let's give it a go. So we booked it. It was only then that we questioned the fact that neither myself or my partner had run in years and both being over 50 the joints didn't move as smoothly as they used to. But it was booked and we were committed. The morning of the run arrived and we were up bright and early and waiting by the war memorial for our guide. It was cold and dark and we were both thinking why did we book this, we could still be in bedight now. Regret was starting to slip in. Then out of the darkness was a lone figure running along the cobbles to meet us. Andy, our guide had arrived with a big smile and bags of enthusiasm. Immediately any doubts faded as he put us at ease regarding the pace of the run and running experience. We were then off, zigzagging all over Canterbury and learning loads about the place in the process. Andy would check throughout the run if the pace was okay and he was a joy to run with. It was like running with a mate. We stopped for photos and it never felt rushed, in fact the run took longer than we expected but neither myself or my partner noticed the time pass. At the end Andy sent us a short video of the run with photos, a lovely touch. This was one of the best things we did in Canterbury and we 100% recommend it.
Thank you for such a lovely review Richard. It was great meeting you and Victoria, and I enjoyed the tour as much as you did!
Our annual run tour with Andy. As always informative, funny and interesting! We always look forward to these and have it as a staple in our social calendar! Thanks Andy!!
You’re welcome - I look forward to our Christmas tours every year!
Really enjoyable tour. I learnt so much about a city I grew up in. The tour pace met my jeffing pace. Would recommend to others z
Thank you! This was the first jeffing tour I’ve done in a while and it was a lot of fun.😀
Really great tour of Canterbury. Andy is a real source of knowledge both of the bigger events and the small things you usually just walk past without noticing. Great fun and would definitely recommend.
Andy is a gifted and engaging story teller. I had a wonderful morning learning the history of Canterbury and seeing the sights. I strongly recommend this delightful tour! Thanks so much, Andy!
