Share your experience with Marathon Tours and our other valued clients.
Adventure, challenging, exciting, eye-opening fantastic experience.
New, exotic destination. Gorgeous location for a marathon. Outstanding medical support. Great initial group of participants.
I loved the marathon course. Going through streams and villages were pluses.
I wanted to tick off the African continent and was also attracted by the opportunity to travel to a county that is so far off the standard tourist route. It carries an air of mystique about it.
I think Marathon Tours has an exquisite trip to the Tokyo Marathon. There really isn't a thing I'd change. Also, I should mention that each member of the Marathon Tours staff (I will not mention all the names as I fear I'd leave someone out), went above and beyond to make the event amazing. Then on the Kyoto extension, Nicole (who from the very early planning stages amazed me with her responsiveness and attention to detail) and Alyssa were THE BEST.
Marathon Tours took care of the details - I didn't have to do a lot of pre-trip planning. I knew things would move along smoothly. I also appreciated Marathon Tours lining up the Six Star Finishers Medals - we just let you know it was our 6th and you handled everything from there. Thank you!
How can we improve this trip for the future? Nothing really other than make sure people know the value they are getting from the package in terms of the city tour and lunch and two dinners. And breakfasts included with hotel. Real value here that I hadn't appreciated ahead of time.
What I liked best about this trip with Marathon Tours is their organization. Great hotel, delicious breakfasts that are included in the package and a sightseeing tour with a buffet lunch that is over the top! From the amazing view to the delicious meal, they really pay attention to every detail. I know that when I book with Marathon Tours my hotel will be excellent with a great location. I only have to focus on the race, because they have taken care of the rest
What did you like best?
The zodiacs and the opportunities of seeing whales, orcas, seals, penguins, icebergs, and glaciers
Besides how incredible the experience was, I was blown away by the quality of the staff (One Ocean and Marathon Tours). They made our experience truly unforgettable.
Everything. I liked the people (both runners and staff), the wildlife, and the race itself. I don't have a favorite thing because it was all great!
It exceeded expectations, but there were expectations I didn't even have - never expected to see whales like that.
The BBQ with the other ship, afternoon tea, happy hour and the polar plunge
It was an opportunity to visit Antarctica for the 5th time, a place I love with a new found passion for running. I really liked that there were runners at all levels, I was nervous that I might not "Fit in", but that was not the case, this is a trip for those whose passions spread from running to nature. I was impressed with the number and quality of landings we were able to pack into such a short trip with race preparations etc., I think folks got a real sense for Antarctica and I heard a few would be back. The One Ocean Crew and Marathon staff were amazing, some of the best we have traveled with to Antarctica and other remote locals.
