For my 13-year-old son and me, Jens and Flo made fantastic running sightseeing partners. We met them at the agreed location and enjoyed a lovely jog along the Rhine, taking in the beautiful scenery of Düsseldorf along the way. They shared interesting local history, pointed out key landmarks and areas of interest, and gave us some great tips and recommendations for our stay. They also tailored the run perfectly to suit our ability level with a few standing stops along the way. With the temperature reaching 31°C, we opted for the shorter 6km route instead of the standard 8km, which worked really well. It was such a unique and enjoyable way to explore Düsseldorf, and my son especially loved it. He also had the chance to practise his German by chatting with Flo throughout the run, which was a real highlight for him. We’d absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city. We also took up their recommendation to visit Takumi afterwards as a reward for our run — and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Thank you, Jens and Flo!.

Run2Know Dusseldorf
Jens and Flo were super friendly and helpful. I wanted to improve my German and also speak a little English. That's why we spoke the two languages and I found it super good! We could also run at my pace. It is worth doing Run2Know.

An awesome Way to See the City!
My boyfriend and I like to run in every city that we visit so I was so excited when I found Run2Know for our trip to Düsseldorf. Jens was so easy to work with, great communication and very accommodating. When the day of our run finally arrived it was super cold and windy, not the greatest running conditions for this Florida girl. But Jens and Flo were super friendly and fun to run with, letting me set the pace and decide when I was done. They also gave us some great recommendations for things to do while in town. Excellent tour, highly recommended!

Lovely way to see the city
Really great run. I did the XXL private run and the guys made the 14km fly by with their stories and jokes along the way. I saw and learned so much about Dusseldorf. Definitely would run with them again.

Keep on Running and Getting to know Düsseldorf
If you love running and visit Düsseldorf, I recommend Run2Know. It's the perfect way to get to know this cool city off the beaten track, because Jens as a Düsseldorf native is a great running companion. Thanks for the informative and sporty running morning!

A great run with friendly guides in Dusseldorf
I really enjoyed my run through Dusseldorf with Jens and Flo. They set up a nice course along the river, through green parks in the downtown area, and across several bridges which afforded good view of the city. They also offer other routes through the city. Jens and Flo were enjoyable to talk with, and I immediately felt like we had been running together for years. It was interesting to hear about some of the history and culture of the area, and they shared some funny as well as serious stories about the region. I am very glad I signed up for this run, and I would highly recommend Run2know to runners visiting the area.

Original sports outing
Nice experience! An 8km tour under a beautiful blue sky in Düsseldorf... with Florian and Jens, who taught me a lot of interesting things about their city! And even before the start of our weekend on site, they gave a lot of information so that they could plan: better bars, restaurants, swimming pool... Do not hesitate, take your sneakers in the suitcase and contact run2know, you will know why Düsseldorf is better than Cologne 🤪...

Super Sight-Run 👍🤩👍
That was a real experience! Flo and Jens offered a lot of variety with little anecdotes and facts about Düsseldorf! My (slow) pace was taken into consideration and some nice souvenir pictures were taken. I would always run with the two again 🏃 🏃🏼♀️ 🏃♂️ Funny also the certificate at the end. Recommendation is made herewith and there are both thumbs up with asterisk eyes from me 👍🤩👍
