Wanted to run the marathon and tour Bordeaux -- and wanted to avoid the complex logistics of trying to organize this by myself. Best running vacation I ever had!
If you are only going to do one marathon, it should be the Medoc! The trip exceeded all my expectations.
The best party marathon you will encounter - everyone gets into the spirit!
I've been on many Marathon Tours - all excellent, but this has to be my favorite. Many people from other trips said Medoc was the favorite. They were right. Well done.
The scenery, the race, chateau visits, wine+wine+wine, the camaraderie of the group, and more.
I’m afraid I’m going to get to the end of the survey without an opportunity to thank Allyson... she was always willing to answer emails and phone calls months out. Additionally she was very organized and quick to offer help during the event weekend. THANK YOU, Allyson.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the NYC Marathon. Not having run the event previously, it took the stress out of planning and allowed me to focus on running and enjoying the event. My wife has always been a great supporter and she appreciated meeting both runners and other supporters that are part of what Marathon Tours offers. Thank you and I look forward to joining Marathon Tours at future events.
The hotel venue was perfect! The location worked well as you could walk to the expo or take mass transit. Central park was close for the morning run. Starbucks in the lobby for coffee needs :) The welcome reception was a nice time to meet fellow runners and socialize. The pre race dinner was a great meal- lots of options and I enjoyed Roger and Kathrine. The coach bus and breakfast box was an AMAZING feature of this trip. Honestly, I had heard many horror stories of people being late to start or missing their wave due to transportation issues- so this was one of the main reasons I signed up for the package.
Everything I've come to enjoy about MT -- convenience, worry-free, all the details taken care of...so that all I have to do is show up and run.
Well organized and especially liked the worry free transportation to the start village. And matching up of roommates! I’ve made a new friend and running partner for years to come I think! Thank you!
Communication was excellent all the way around and the offering for the money was of good value. I loved this race and the experience with Marathon Tours took away all my travel anxieties and allowed me to focus on the marathon.
The Blackstone is a LOVELY hotel, and with its extremely easy access to the start and finish lines, it is by far the best venue I have ever had for a marathon.
The Comrades Marathon is a top notch event in a beautiful part of South Africa that every serious runner should do at least once.
Knowing the Marathon Tours and Travel had all the details covered, I could immerse myself fully in the warmth and hospitality of the South African people who made my stay and my race an amazing, life-changing experience.
The Comrades Marathon is an incredibly challenging but rewarding event. When you finish you are on top of the world.
An incredible running adventure in a beautiful country.
The Kruger extension was one of the best experiences we've had! Everything was excellent. We would highly recommend it to anybody doing Comrades or going to South Africa. Thanks!!!
The Marathon Race experience was what I wanted and hoped for.... The Amazing Girls and the ability to help them, if only a small amount was a highlight for me. To be able to be up close and personal with so many African animals. The Kenyan people seem so calm, friendly, and caring whenever we had interaction with them.
That was one of the best trip that we ever had. Thank you Jacqui and Karen. Everything was so wonderful and memorable for us. We couldn’t ask for anything better. They did magic.
I had a great time. This was one of the best Marathon tour experiences. There are challenges in a developing country and it was an AMAZING experience beginning to end. Thank you MTT and especially Jacquie and Karen for an experience well done.
