  Edinburgh Running Tours Business Receives Scottish Tourism's Highest 
                                  Accolade

THE TEAM behind the Edinburgh Marathon Festival (EMF) Running Tours are 
celebrating after receiving the highest accolade possible from the Scottish 
Tourism Board.

EMF Running Tours are believed to be the only such organisation in Scotland 
to receive a 5 star rating from the national tourism organisation 
VisitScotland.

VisitScotland's tourism board stated that the tours, which launched in May 
2016, were "a brilliant addition to Edinburgh's Tourism programme" and that 
"the strength of the tour lies in the ease in which the group can travel 
across the city and visit the more obscure and often overlooked features of 
Edinburgh."

James Armandary, EMF Tour Manager commented on the company's success:

"I'm utterly elated to receive the 5 star rating from VisitScotland! It's 
really exciting not just for us here at EMF Running Tours, but for running 
tours as a global concept as well. Scotland are world leaders in tourism, 
and to be counted as one of the best products that the country has to offer 
is an amazing accolade."

"It's not easy to get 5 stars, and to be recognised as one of the best 
tours in the country is a great honour. I'm looking forward to growing EMF 
Running Tours, adding more themes and routes, and continuing to deliver a 
five star experience to customers from all around the world."

EMF Running Tours are guided tours around Scotland's capital city, offering 
the opportunity to explore Edinburgh in a unique way. The tours last for 
approximately 90 minutes and allow participants to see unexpected sights 
mixed in with the city's rich history & culture. The tours are consistently 
rated as 'excellent' on TripAdvisor and are now positioned within the top 
10 outdoor activities in Edinburgh.

Participants can choose to take part in the standard city tour, or there's 
a choice of themed tours, including a Whisky and Trainspotting Tour.
