TCS New York City Marathon

Marathon Tours & Travel does an excellent job and provides a much needed service to gain entry to the Abbott World Marathon Majors. It is also wonderful for individuals traveling alone to be with a group. Keep up the good work.

I found the planning, preparation and trip to be very well organized with clear communication. I enjoyed the run Central Park on Saturday morning, the pre-race dinner and the bus to the start line was very efficient. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Allyson is fantastic to work with! She works hard to make sure everyone is satisfied and always keeps everyone in the loop. I would give her a 10 star if possible.

NYC was the the third trip we have participated in with MTT and you never disappoint. The most important feature in our minds was the transportation to the start line. We heard so many stories of the anxiety and hassle of getting there through public transit (particularly the busses from the ferry to the runner's village) and you made it so easy. Thanks MTT!!!!

The best thing about the package was that every detail was covered to the highest perfection. Transportation to the start village was wonderful!! I so enjoyed the welcome and pasta party--- talking and sharing with other runners. The Sheraton was a perfect location to enjoy NYC. Thank you Allyson and Amy and Marathon Tours & Travel for a wonderful experience.

It was really great not having to worry about anything over the weekend except for running the streets of NYC!!

Thank you to you and your staff members for providing a very memorable weekend for Thierry and me!  In particular, Allyson and Karen were meticulous in their keen attention to detail and in always being helpful, cheerful, and displaying a positive attitude despite their many operational demands.  Definitely a great weekend memory for my 250th marathon.

Wow!  Pam and I had an amazing time in NYC with Marathon Tours.  It was our first trip with the team but it will not be our last!  We met so many amazing people at your different events, it was awesome being with folks who share our passion for travel and running!  I think we have the itch to chase the Abbott World Majors now!!

My favorite thing about Marathon Tours is that you put the runners and their health, safety and comfort as your number one priorities!  

This is just a quick note to remind you of the incredible services that each of you offer, and I myself have just been so thankful for all of you over these years.  As a wife, mother, professional and runner you have brought such peace of mind to my life.  I am so thankful to know that when it comes to the one activity of me that brings me joy, I know I can count on all of you for help when I want to do something adventurous!  

Thank you for all that you do to make people’s dreams come true and support them even when they just have to wait a bit longer.  In the end, Marathon Tours and their agents are always going to be ready and willing to make sure that each person gets the best of the best!   I just wanted you to know that for some of us, our experiences with marathon tours holds deep meaning in our lives because of all the goodness you have contributed.

This was my first trip with Marathon Tours and I was extremely impressed. I haven't stopped raving about you since I got home. Everything was so well planned. It was nice and convenient to have all of the receptions and dinners either in the hotel or so close to the hotel. The hotel itself was very nice and the location was fantastic. The bus ride to the start was flawless and took all of the stress out of getting to the start. All of your staff was so friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would travel with you again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a fantastic trip!

This was my 23rd marathon but the first through a running company - loved leaving the planning to someone else - took all the stress out of the trip - would highly recommend marathon tours

Thank you Marathon tours for the opportunity to run a beautiful and challenging marathon. It was intense and emotional. You have a great team! Very organized and professional. Meeting Katherine Switzer was inspiring.

Thank you Allyson and the whole Marathon Tours for a great experience at the recent NYC Marathon. Everything was well organized and the support I got really helped me prepare and made my marathon race day a breeze. The Pre Race dinners were amazing. The speakers are very inspiring. I look forward to running again with Marathon Tours again.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the NYC Marathon. Not having run the event previously, it took the stress out of planning and allowed me to focus on running and enjoying the event. My wife has always been a great supporter and she appreciated meeting both runners and other supporters that are part of what Marathon Tours offers. Thank you and I look forward to joining Marathon Tours at future events.

The hotel venue was perfect! The location worked well as you could walk to the expo or take mass transit. Central park was close for the morning run. Starbucks in the lobby for coffee needs :) The welcome reception was a nice time to meet fellow runners and socialize. The pre race dinner was a great meal- lots of options and I enjoyed Roger and Kathrine. The coach bus and breakfast box was an AMAZING feature of this trip. Honestly, I had heard many horror stories of people being late to start or missing their wave due to transportation issues- so this was one of the main reasons I signed up for the package.

Everything I've come to enjoy about MT -- convenience, worry-free, all the details taken care of...so that all I have to do is show up and run.

Well organized and especially liked the worry free transportation to the start village. And matching up of roommates! I’ve made a new friend and running partner for years to come I think! Thank you!

Communication was excellent all the way around and the offering for the money was of good value. I loved this race and the experience with Marathon Tours took away all my travel anxieties and allowed me to focus on the marathon.

The travel package is so well thought out that there is so little to stress about, everything is done and in place for you. The transportation to the expo and race start is a huge incentive, I think that is what I like best.

I always enjoy the events where it brings the group together for socializing. There are so many great people that go on these tours and their stories are incredible and inspiring. Nice touch with the Marathon Tours shirts for the athletes.

I trust Marathon Tours, you deliver 100% every time and deliver with caring, friendly, knowledgeable people. When it comes to runner adventures, you're the only company we consider.

I have nothing but praise for you all. This was so well organized from the emails we started to receive well before the trip to the outstanding hospitality provided at the hotel and at the social events. I enjoyed the reserved tables for us SCC members. The attention to detail and the personal touch that Marathon Tours and Travel gives us is the reason I keep coming back to your company. Thank you Karen, Allyson, Jeff and Thom. See you on my next trip.

A big thank you to you and your staff for making such a memorable weekend possible. The race couldn’t have went better and I greatly appreciate your planning and good nature in pulling together all the details that I didn’t have to worry about. Thank you and Marathon Tours and good luck in the future!

The guaranteed entry. This is my third time doing NYC, and I would NOT have done it this time if it weren't for the Marathon Tours entry and tour package.

Awesome customer experience. Great communications and timely. Customer service is the differentiator these days and you nailed it. Thanks for that!!

My daughter and I were so happy to have the opportunity to run this race together this year. Marathon tours made this possible and the organization and professionalism were superb. We hope to do more marathon trips through marathon tours and will be spreading the word to all of our running friends. Thank you again for making our New York experience absolutely amazing 

The hosts of marathon tours were excellent. The prerace communication exceeded my expectations. Thank you!. The hotel was a pleasant surprise. It was much nicer than I expected and the location was very good. The bus to the start line was excellent. Well done. Karen and Anna were amazing!! Thank you ladies for all your hard work. I plan to travel with Marathon tours to London and would highly recommend you as a tour group. 

I liked how everything was organized for me including events that we could attend and having the transportation to the start of the race as part of the package. It took a lot of stress off in worrying about all of those details.

I called the Marathon Tours' office to inquire about another Major's Race and spoke with Nicole. She informed me of the VIP Package, as well as the advantages of the Seven Continents Club. She encouraged me to join and take advantage of trip. Before it sold out. I said, thanks and signed up.

HOW WELL ORGANISED IT WAS. The location was great close to everything.Karen and Anna excellant staff tour.

The convenience. We just had to show up and everything was done. Probably the best pre-race pasta dinner that I have had - other than when we booked ourselves a restaurant meal. Staff was very friendly, shuttle to the expo worked out very well, and getting driven to the start line was wonderful.

A world major marathon trip organized by world class runners for runners who are trying to run the world. :)

NYC Marathon is one the Marathon Majors. The race is difficult to get us both in at the same time. Marathon Tours offered the guaranteed entries.
