This was one of the best adventure tours I have traveled. Marathon Tours & Travel has a gem in Scott Guillemette as he is a true cheerleader in all things. He is there for the client from the start to finish, he works at communication of the schedule more than once, and he follows up. We book with Marathon Tours because of Scott, even though we have ties to Albatros. Thanks Scotty G... for another great adventure.
Scott does an amazing job to push the quality of service from the Marathon Tours higher. He is always working, always accessible and has no reservations to clear the way. Scott will listen, and deliver a solution. Even when Albatros delivers slightly under expectations, Scott really tries to make his clients wishes and concerns heard and resolved.
Well done, Marathon Tours! This was my first trip overseas with your company and I really enjoyed it. I especially like the fact that you specialize in planning trips around races. Running and traveling are two of my interests. You showed me there is a way to do both!
Nicole's amazing! She goes the extra mile in responsiveness and making sure everyone has an enjoyable experience! And thank you Jeff for going above & beyond! Truly grateful for always an amazing experience and seeking ways to improve! Awesome just to relax. Loved all the stops, so breathtaking! And Culture Night was a huge bonus! Cannot say I would take anything out. Overall the perfect experience, and already thinking ahead to my next Marathon Tours endeavor.
I thought all the excursions were great. They truly provided us with the overall land scape of Iceland. The Blue Lagoon was very special. The tour guides were very knowledgeable of the itinerary and were available for any questions we had during our trip.
100% reason I did my first trip with Marathon Tours was Nicole. I simply sent an email that I was interested to learn more and within 24 hours I had an email and a voicemail. I make decisions and choose so much in my life based on first impressions! So glad my first impression of Marathon Tours was based Nicole's customer service and grateful the rest of the pre-trip and trip itself lived up to that first impression!
Marathon Tours' representatives are always available to answer questions from the moment one signs up for the trip up to final trip notes before one departs their hometown. I have always experienced the same level of professionalism.
I enjoy experiencing new things and to travel to unusual places. Havana was so different to anything I knew or have experienced before. It was an enriching trip.
Karen did a great job before and during the trip. She is very organized, extremely responsive, and very nice to be around - the perfect host.
One of the best trips we have taken!
Well organized. Inviting. Great people!
This was one of the best organized events I have participated in. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful. They did a great job at keeping everyone updated on events and changes due to the weather.
Fun group of people, excellent food and most challenging course so far.
Hotel Kangerlussuaq was FANTASTIC. Great breakfast and rooms, hot showers. Staff was outstanding. We stayed at the Clarion Hotel upon arrival in Copenhagen and the night prior to departure. The hotel is super convenient, connected to the airport terminal.
Being my first visit I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the coast, the tours, meeting different people, running in a new country. The Safari was well organized!
Stunning scenery in parts of the race - especially the first few kilometers and the stretch that went out to the southern/western neighborhoods.
Location was the best! Loved being by the coast, loved being walking distant to start and finish! Huge plus! Loved the proximity to shopping and the Grand Beach!
This was an amazing trip -- to see SA up close and personal, to experience the blending of multiple cultural influences was humbling and exhilarating at the same time.
Shamwari Extension - Magical experience & worth every penny. Guaranteed animal sightings. Accommodations are comfortable. I liked the afternoon tea before Safari and early morning coffee and breakfast before Safari. The staff were very friendly. Our guide placed hot water bottles on our blankets - well taken care of. Sundown cocktails... overall exceptional experience
This was our 3rd trip with Marathon Tours, and we had a great time. We met so many fantastic people and that's what these things are all about... so thank you!
