Wow...all the various experiences were memorable and very enjoyable. Masada was awesome, as was our visit to the grotto. The kibbutz was unique and was glad to experience it. Jerusalem was definitely a highlight. The museums (both the Holocaust and the Israel Museum) were well worth the visit. Petra was definitely a highlight. Based on the itinerary, we were definitely on the go a lot but we saw so much and I don't regret it. I would advise those looking for more free time to come in early or stay later.
Thanks so much for organizing the Cuba Marabana trip. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and you made all my experiences absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed all of the cultural experiences, and all the support for the Cuban people!
Thank you, thank you, Nicole, and the entire staff of Marathon Tours. The trip to Berlin was so well organized and every detail was well planned. From the welcome night, the tour of Berlin, the transport to the Expo, transport to the fun run, the pasta dinner and the post-race party, the organization was superb. I thoroughly enjoyed the race and your hospitality was excellent. I am still on a “high” and I look forward to another race with Marathon Tours. Please thank everyone at marathon Tours. I really appreciated all your efforts.
Was a little nervous traveling somewhere that English is not the primary language. MT had everything covered so it was not an issue. Fellow travelers, staff made this a wonderful experience. Extension to Kyoto gave me a better feel of Japan than being in the big city (Tokyo). Well worth the extra time and money. And who doesn’t like a trip with Jacqui on it??!!
I can't thank the MTT staff and the Abbott people for the support, encouragement and recognition.
MT staff are helpful and made it such an easy trip. I appreciate the organization and that everything was taken care of. I think what I enjoyed the most was meeting other runners and making new friends that I hope to connect with on future trips and future races. The hotels were great with excellent locations too.
The volunteers on the race course were amazing. MTT staff were great too. I appreciated being with a group to take care of me, as I traveled by myself.
The extension to Kyoto was fabulous. The transfer to the train station and to Kyoto was very smoothly executed and I always felt like we were in good hands. Our guide - Harumi - was phenomenal - a true gem. She was so informational and really, really funny - she truly made the trip. I loved the itinerary and the various temples we saw.
I thought that Nicole and Jeff and the the entire Tokyo Marathon group did an excellent job in sending out an email and asking athletes for their questions on the trip and addressing it in the Conference call, and further following it up with an email so that everyone that missed the opportunity to participate that day and time still had the ability to benefit from it. It was very proactive and forward thinking. Kudos to you wonderful people!
I have always booked my room through Marathon Tours for Boston. Next year will be my 4th straight year running the marathon.
The hotel that I booked on-line (Sheraton Boston) was only available starting Friday night before the marathon, but I was planning to arrive on Thursday. I called Marathon Tours to see if they could add Thursday night to my reservation, and Allyson was able to do that after working with the hotel. Thank you!
Really nice and smooth experience when booking on marathon tours' website. Also easy and fast to make changes when I wanted to add one more night to my booking.
Really simple process. I booked for Boston 2014 using Marathon Tours, so I was happy to be able to do so again.
The hotel and having all the details taken care of were all I wanted. Marathon Tours makes it very easy to travel to these hard-to-get-in-to marathons.
Everything ran SO smoothly and everyone was very helpful. I was impressed at how efficiently the bus "issue" was handled on race morning.
I was very happy with my Big Sur Marathon experience through Marathon Tours & Travel. Every aspect of the package was superb from the accommodations to the dinners and the event transportation. Thank you to Allyson, Karen, and Christine for making this a memorable event.
As usual, the entire team was at our service and made the whole planning stage of this trip a breeze.
It was very well run. I felt like I was taken care of. Everyone was so nice and supportive. First time using marathon tours will definitely use again!
This was my first Boston Marathon, and being in this package made the logistics of getting to the race, and knowing all of the details of the race seamless. I'm so glad that I got this package.
Everything went so smoothly. Everyone was genuinely "NICE". Allyson accommodated the addition of a family member to my VIP package very quickly and willingly only days before the event... she did it within an hour! This was important because I was also trying to book one of the few remaining seats on our flight for that person. The itinerary was put together extremely well. The food was incredibly good and plentiful... the restaurants were classy and excellent. The VIP bus transfer to the start is priceless!!!
