Testimonials

The Portola Hotel is a great location and nice hotel to stay at. Reception and pre-race dinner were excellent. And really appreciated the private coach to the start.

Wonderful, attentive, supportive staff. Great accommodations and guest speakers and guides. Tends to draw very kind runners.

We are grateful to you and your team at Marathon Tours once again for a well-crafted event. We stayed at the handsome Newbury Hotel with its attentive staff and dined at wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Your work made our visit much easier to plan. I made sure nearby passengers on my flight home were told to contact Marathon Tours before their next race.

Really appreciated the several communications that came out prior to the trip and advice on how to prepare and all of the documentation needed! Tremendously helpful!

Loved the Chateau Frontenac - excellent location and loved Paris! Had fun & enjoyed meeting new friends.

C'est magnifique!!

Everything was just amazing! I think the trip to Masada was the best for me, but certainly enjoyed every aspect of the trip.

All was excellent and very well done. I loved the mix of historical and biblical sites and information. Of course, they certainly overlap there!

My favorite day was when we went to Bethlehem and Yad Vashem. I also enjoyed the tour of Old Jaffe in Tel Aviv, but the entire trip was incredible. We definitely had full days, but I felt like I had enough downtime. The group dinners were decadent, and it was a great way to meet the others and get to know them. Karen was outstanding and kept us well informed before and during the trip. Our Israeli guide, Mira, was excellent and informative. I learned so much history from her.

We had a wonderful time and experience. We feel Karen is definitely top notch as far as tour planner and guide! Thank you so much!
