Testimonials

This was a wonderful trip to a truly unique destination, with a great group of fellow travelers.

It was an absolutely amazing trip. The tour leaders were excellent, the local tour guides were really great. I can only say positive things about the experience. Many many thanks for such a wonderful tour. Keep up the good work and I look forward to travelling with the company again. Thank you also for the post-run celebration party on the island in the river.

The race course marking was exceptional, especially for such a remote course, and the placement of the water stations was very good. Wonderful to see the local volunteers and the locals cheering along the way. (Challenging course with sand surfaces...deep sand at times).

Thanks for a great experience!  Marathon Tours did a wonderful job in making my first Boston marathon into a wonderful weekend. I will definitely keep Marathon Tours in mind for my next race!

Everything seemed to come together perfectly for this trip. I honestly feel the money I spent was worth every penny for the cultural experiences I received.

This was truthfully a life changing experience for me and I am so pleased with how everything panned out. Don't change a thing! I will definitely be running with Marathon Tours again! I just need to figure out where... Decisions, decisions..

The marathon was very well organized and a nice route. City is beautiful and very easy to walk around. The Friday morning walking guide was well done and gave me a good sense of the city and what I wanted to go back and visit. Jen was a great with everyone and ensuring people were taken care of.

I greatly appreciated having access to what is a truly unique running experience. Given all of the hassles/headaches of past races and the 'politics' in being permitted to offer a marathon course there makes me that much more grateful to have been able to go. Also, of course, seeing what is such a beautiful part of the world and what is so unlike any other place I have traveled, was a highlight. Finally, I was very impressed with the Marathon Tours and One Oceans staff. Everyone worked tirelessly and was so professional--very impressive indeed!

I enjoyed having time to visit with others on the trip, listening to their stories and appreciate this event that brought us together from all parts of the world. The cocktail hour, city tour, breakfast run, and pasta feed were all so wonderful! Then meeting for cocktails after the marathon and sharing our stories was superb!

I'm usually a loner, but took part in the group activities and looked forward to seeing everyone after the race. It was inspiring, supportive, fun, and comfortable. We shared the experience but at the same time each had our own race and accomplishment. It was a perfect balance of planned activities and time to explore on my own. I wouldn't change any part of the plan.
