The Marabana Marathon is like no other and a great way to connect with the Cuban people and culture.
Meeting the warm Cuban people, enjoying a wonderful race, getting to know some amazing fellow runners, seeing some very interesting places. We will be talking about this trip for some time!
The scheduled activities were really excellent! Seeing these unique places and meeting some wonderful people were the highlight for us!
This was our first trip with Marathon Tours and we were very happy with the entire trip. The communication prior to, during, and after has been excellent. Karen was an excellent coordinator of this trip and I would definitely travel with Marathon Tours again on another running adventure. The planned events and free time were well balanced and provided enough time to enjoy all of the sites. Most of the meals and restaurants were excellent and provided us with a safe way to experience the local culinary options.
Both of the local tour guides were wonderful. Their language skills were excellent and provided such valuable information on the history of Cuba and information about each site we visited.
Karen and Christine were EXCELLENT. Both of these ladies are strong in communication, amiable, organized, willing to assist and answer questions, and provide support for race participants. I would love to travel with either of them again!!
Our Shamwari Game Reserve Ranger Siya was unbelievable! He was so knowledgeable and really made the game drives a wonderful experience. We were able to see animals and country side we had only been able to see in movies or on TV. Just can't say enough good things about the experience.
A+ overall trip. We had a blast and would recommend it to anyone. This was our first Marathon T&T trip, and we will DEFINITELY be going on another one!
This is the third trip we have taken with Jacqui. In fact she was a deciding factor for us to take this trip. She is an excellent guide and lots of fun. She knows each location well - the places to visit, the best restaurants, the best places to shop, and excellent recommendations on tours to take. We enjoy our trips with Jacqui because we know she will never steer us wrong.
This was my 4th trip with Marathon Tours and every time its been a great experience. Anytime I do a race overseas, Marathon Tours makes it an enjoyable experience.
I highly recommend my tour group - Marathon Tours and Travel. Many of my fellow participants have traveled with Marathon Tours and Travel to other events, which is the best recommendation. I was impressed with the organization and friendliness of our two guides - Stephanie DiBrita and Nicole - who herded their 50 or so cats into a cohesive whole. Communication, hotels, buses, dinners, time tables were spot on. My fellow tour group members were a varied lot, mostly from United States and Canada, and all committed participants in training and running and racing. One gal marked her 100th marathon and completion of the "Seven Continents Club". Another couple has run marathons in all 50 states, and is working on running half-marathons in all 50 states. We discovered commonalities and favorites, and certainly will encounter one another at future events. Wonderful times sharing stories.
This was my 44th marathon and I cannot express how thrilled I am to have had the privilege of being in Athens for this amazing run. it was so well organized and supported... the finish was just epic!
Stephanie and Nicole were great trip managers. They didn't hesitate to answer questions and were extremely knowledgeable about the event, race and Athens. Anytime someone gets an opportunity to do an experience with marathon tours, they will be in good hands if they are their trip managers.
Stephanie and Nicole are amazing providing information and making sure we are having a good time ! They are very kind and helpful. They definitely make our tours experience unforgettable! I will take any tour with them !
Jennifer and Nicole were excellent and did everything they could to keep us together, informed and where we needed to be so we could concentrate on enjoying our trip.
The overall trip was incredible but I’d have to say the day tour was a lot of fun. We had Jennifer on our bus and she was making us all laugh.
Nichole and Jennifer did an outstanding job taking care of all guests. Nichole and Jennifer provided the highest level of customer service and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet them both. Thank you for making my first Marathon Tours Trip unique and special.
My most amazing trip ever! Jacqui took good care of us, answered all questions, and made the trip amazing!!! I am thinking about going again.
We've been very impressed with Marathon Tours & Travel. Not only have you provided excellent race support, your trip extensions have been wonderful. We are doing all seven continents and as of now we intend to do all that are remaining with Marathon Tours & Travel.
Kenya was a very positive experience. Enjoyed the wide variety of game animals. All the details were taken care of for us! Our group leader was knowledgeable and friendly.
