I never realized how amazing Kenya is. The people are so welcoming and friendly; they know how to take the time to relax and enjoy each others company. I had forgotten how to do that, I remember now!
This was my first trip with Marathon Tours and I was extremely impressed. I haven't stopped raving about you since I got home. Everything was so well planned. It was nice and convenient to have all of the receptions and dinners either in the hotel or so close to the hotel. The hotel itself was very nice and the location was fantastic. The bus ride to the start was flawless and took all of the stress out of getting to the start. All of your staff was so friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would travel with you again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a fantastic trip!
This was my 23rd marathon but the first through a running company - loved leaving the planning to someone else - took all the stress out of the trip - would highly recommend marathon tours
Thank you Marathon tours for the opportunity to run a beautiful and challenging marathon. It was intense and emotional. You have a great team! Very organized and professional. Meeting Katherine Switzer was inspiring.
Thank you Allyson and the whole Marathon Tours for a great experience at the recent NYC Marathon. Everything was well organized and the support I got really helped me prepare and made my marathon race day a breeze. The Pre Race dinners were amazing. The speakers are very inspiring. I look forward to running again with Marathon Tours again.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the finish - so nice being by the hotel so we could get showered and then cheer the others in.
Marathon Tours has the unique skill of making everything about the trip work perfectly. Nothing is missed - a beautiful hotel, thoughtful gifts such as the water bottles, tables laid out with food and drink at each excursion...fabulous staff...you guys have these tours to perfection!! Thank you.
The Rio Serrano hotel experience was fantastic! The hotel was well-maintained and in a beautiful setting, I can't praise the staff highly enough for their professionalism and for making people feel comfortable. That includes all the excursion staff.
This trip exceeded my expectations with the beauty of the area, adventurous spirit, amazing accommodations, and amazing MTT staff.
The Patagonia Marathon is among my top three marathons with Boston and Berlin, as no marathon I have experienced rivals the natural beauty of the course and the social interaction with other runners.
Well organized, safe and experienced staff.
The Comrades Marathon is an extremely well organized and challenging event that every runner must experience.
My original plan was to run the Berlin marathon but when I reviewed the proposed itinerary for Scotland decided to extend my stay and add Scotland. This Berlin/Scotland was my first experience with Marathon tours. You did a fantastic job at making me feel comfortable while being in a foreign country. The group size for Scotland was perfect I look forward to future trips and hopefully I get into London 2021 and or Tokyo 2021 to complete my world marathons And after talking to Jeff I may consider the Patagonia and Antarctica trips.
I've always wanted to visit Scotland and when I saw it as an extension to Berlin I jumped on it. I never would have imagined ever doing multiple marathons but now I know I can do it! Runcations are the best : )
I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland, the race was a big draw and Marathon Tours had all the experiences and organization to make sure I would have the trip of a lifetime! A good reputation and years in the business was important especially in light of that other tour company failing and people being stranded. I never worry about your company.
I thought the trip was well planned with scheduled activities and time to explore on your own. I thought the scheduled activities were fantastic and the guides as well. I appreciated the communication by Jeff and Karen as well. I was traveling alone and felt I always knew what to expect and when.
The Scotland trip exceeded my expectations, and I smile every time I think about it.
Hotel in Edinburgh was excellently situated - lots to see and do within walking distance. Rooms were great - clean, moderately spacious, and well-appointed; breakfast was well done in the downstairs dining room. All of the local guides were knowledgeable and entertaining - a terrific way to learn about the history, culture, and people of Scotland. The trip between Edinburgh and Inverness was packed with activities - well worth the time in the coach and the drives between (which were broken up nicely by all the excursions). I know that anyone who comes along to host or help with a MTT trip is going to be super. Jeff and Karen worked tirelessly to make sure that everyone on the trip got the most out of it - food recommendations, music, excellent experiences. Kelly and Kit backed them up and were friendly and welcoming. Like traveling with family (that you like ;).
This (Cape Winelands Tour) was GREAT. Guide was very knowledgeable and other attendees were fun to hang out with.
This is the BEST marathon I have run in overseas. The organization was fantastic. Loved the water bags (though probably not good for the environment. They were great for runners). The crowd support was exceptional. The finish line amazing. I could go on and on. I am so glad that you have put this on the Marathon Tours list. It was also the first marathon I have participated in that had a diverse, inclusive look. Running clubs from around the region--and a real people's marathon. I know that Two Oceans gets alot of press--deservedly so. But The Cape Town marathon competes with it on other grounds--also important to runners.
