Testimonials

I loved how the things I am least good at organizing myself was handled for me.... I never had to search for anything or locations or something ... it was all planned... I could enjoy as much with the group as I wanted or as little. I was in control of my experience, but Marathon Tours was there whenever I wanted or needed any interaction or guidance. For a large group, it's such a great, personal, exciting adventure. The other thing I really love is how all of the runners/guests are just one big team and Marathon tours enables us to all come together and embrace and celebrate (the MT employees included) the joys, accomplishments, challenges, and hard ships of running. I had no idea how much I would love doing races as a team of people, not just the solo sport I've always known it to be.

I am blown away with Marathon Tours... I'm a really experienced traveler and always try and avoid group stuff because it stresses me out, but marathon tours handled everything so well, and so personally. I was one of three people in the group who returned to a hurricane having hit the area, but for the days I was there, MT did a great job with kindness and compassion. I stood back as all of the employees made their ways around the room engaging with everyone. It's really like nothing else. And the tour was fantastic. That type of thing makes me cringe usually. It was so organized and planned, the guide was awesome. It was just so nicely done. So personal. I cannot say enough good stuff about my experience on this trip. Thank you all so much.

I received my Six Star, so hard to beat the feeling of accomplishment. The commradere of the
group, being so well taken care of/supported by the Marathon Tours staff and the Japanese
people themselves....are all tied for next best.

I love meeting fellow runners from the Marathon Tours group, great camaraderie, great stories,
great fun! Insights on the course, start area, recognition of Seven Continents Club and AbbottWMM Six Star finisihers,
you truly feel like a community when you travel with Marathon Tours!

Every Marathon Tours trip is unique in its' own way. The Park Hyatt was incredible as was having the chance to experience Tokyo in general. The post race gathering at the Park Hyatt was also outstanding. It was a wonderful experience.

I really feel like I got my money's worth with the social events (which I was not actually expecting) and the bus tour. You can tell you guys have been doing this for a while, a very well oiled machine.

I was amazed on how well the whole Marathon Tours package was delivered. Very professional folks, very timely communication.....this was all new to me and it went extremely smooth!!! As a matter of fact, we are now looking at Tokyo and reaching out to fabulous Nicole for help!! Woohoo!!

This is the 3rd time we have booked with Marathon Tours and they do a fantastic job. All the extra events they had planned for the runners and families were amazing! Can't wait to book with them again!

Such a beautiful hotel - perfect for the start of the race as well as finishing right there as well!!

I enjoyed this hotel and I felt that it was close enough to everything that I wanted to see including the start line of the race.
