I liked the fact that everything was planned out for us. This is my first trip with Marathon Tours. Usually, I do all the planning of where to stay that is close to the finish, which can be super stressful, so this was so so easy.
Nichole was fabulous. A hero to me and Grace. So much worry over the virus, lodging, transportation, expo, etc. But her and her team got us where we needed to be. I felt like all I really needed to do was Race. Unforgettable experience and MT&T made it that way. I look forward to more adventures in running with them, especially in pursuit of the 6th Abbott Star!
Thank you for all you have done to schedule and then reschedule the VIP Tour. While as runners all we had to do was keep going right, left, right, left a zillion times, I can only imagine all you and your team had to do to scramble to make changes. And then to have it cancelled must be exhausting to say the least. I look forward to doing a marathon with your company at a future date.Thanks for everything.
This was a fantastic and adventures vacation - more than a race.
What did I like best about the trip? The Sydney pre race add on got to tour Sydney and spend time with others before event.
Ann is positive, kind and highly organized. She is very good with diverse people. Her "emotional intelligence" is outstanding.
Pure laughter was everywhere as was a deep cultural immersion coupled with a raw, natural, unpredictable, unforgiving environment free from modern distractions. The 2019 Australian Outback Marathon/Half-Marathon was a perfectly planned, supported and executed, celebratory event where citizens from six continents joined together establishing a temporal United Nations under a a common mantra language “No worries Mate!,” to the distant sounds of a digeridoo. Cue the dingos.
All the way through the pre-booking process, the event itself, and post event communication, Ann made her mark in representing the Marathon Tour participants making a wonderful and unique race experience all the more special.
Allyson is amazing! Her efficiency, courtesy, and conscientiousness are all extraordinary. She epitomizes the best “customer service” possible! She is consistently excellent, because I distinctly remember every instance of communication from her, over time, all top notch! She is the ideal Ambassador for Marathon Tours & Travel.
Marathon Tours & Travel, keep up the awesome work! We have been working with your staff for at least the last 13 or 14 years - reserving a block of rooms for our charity team runners and support staff for the Boston Marathon. You always come through, and it is easy for our runners to reserve rooms through the link you set up for us. Allyson has always been wonderful, but especially this year with the date change for the Boston Marathon, trying to find a block of rooms for our runners in an already overcrowded Boston. She is always pleasant and helpful, and does her best to go above and beyond to accommodate all of us. Thank you ALL- I know these are trying times with so many major marathons changing dates, and then cancelling- and you are all doing a great job. I know this is stressful for everyone, especially all of you, as you try to help us all with our accommodations. Keep up the good work. Dick Hoyt
The very first trip I took with Marathon Tours & Travel was exceptional. No hiccups, no delays and a wonderful greeting at the hotel. Everything was so well organized and Scott stayed on top of all requests and was very attentive to all the people in the group. Great Job!!! Because of Scott and his awesome customer service, Bermuda by far became my favorite destination for fun and run!!
As always, MT&T was doing a great job keeping us informed, connected, and ready to go -- wherever!
The atmosphere was very pleasant with all the races, gently, relaxed and at the same time very well organized. Pre-race accommodations were good for shelter. The after party's were really great. And the announcer really did a good job!
Amazing race weekend experience even if not doing the entire challenge. Wonderful post race atmosphere for both participants and spectators/family. The island support despite the weather was outstanding, even for the 10K! Everyone I encountered in Bermuda was friendly and helpful.
Hotel was great, location and service. After race festivities were great and generous amount of food and beverages. The 10K run was cool and again really enjoyed the after party ambiance. Nice jacket was also given to us, so I am very happy with my overall experience. Marathon Tours is really a good organizer of these events and I am happy to be associated with each and everyone of you. Thom and his crew always make us feel welcomed and it is for this reason the Canadian contingency keep coming back!
Really beautiful course and a fun escape from the cold winter weather. Additionally, Bermuda was really easy to travel to/from.
Everything about this trip was fantastic! The accommodations were beautiful and the staff helpful. The race was well-planned with plenty of water stations, portolets and traffic safety officers in place. The routes were scenic. I’m looking forward to my next run-cation with Marathon Tours.
I wanted to send a note to acknowledge the outstanding communication, action and response from Allyson Johnson with the postponement of the Boston Marathon. These unprecedented times, and her commitment to customer satisfaction has been outstanding and I thank you!
I had decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted to run Dublin because I had never been to Ireland and thought it would be a great way to start my journey to the Seven Continents Club. While trying to register, I discovered that I had to book through Marathon Tours and recognized the name from my work with Back on My Feet Boston (Marathon Tours is a sponsor). I also figured that if I wanted to get more adventurous with my running, it would be beneficial to work with a company who could make that experience as amazing as possible, and I was not wrong.
I am one of the running Ambassador's for the Fleet Feet Marathon Running group. I sent out an email tonight to my group in regards to the Indy Monumental marathon this weekend that many in my group are running. In this email I told them about the wonderful experience I had with Marathon Tours and was very pleased at how well they organized all meals, day trips, travel, and group receptions. I would highly recommend using this group if you are considering running a foreign marathon.
