The Big Five Marathon package offers a brilliant adventure that will challenge even the most seasoned runner but will result in a lifetime of wonderful memories.
I loved the whole trip. I never would have thought to go the Easter Island if Marathon Tours had not offered the trip and I am very glad I did. My favorite part of the trip was the whole day tour on Easter Island, the Moai were amazing.
I loved the peace and spiritual aspect of Easter Island. So remote, beautiful and quiet. I appreciated Jacqui's ability to make each and every person feel very special and customize the experience. She is a great guide, and has a wonderful sense of reading people that is indispensable.
Everything on this trip was excellent!! The guides at each location were very informative as well as personable. I loved Jacqui, I can not say enough good things about her!!!
I really appreciate the location of hotel to start/finish line. Knowledge of staff relating to marathon details. Jane was extremely efficient and always ready to help out when called upon. She took the initiative to make things better for anyone in need of support.
Marathon tours did an excellent job in selecting Barcelona as one of their race-cation, selecting a hotel that is both convenient and safe, and having a staff service making sure we get our affairs in order so we can really enjoy the trip. I love the route, I think it’s better than Paris Marathon route as we really toured city on foot. The locals were friendly at stores, restaurants or just merely asking for directions. I would love to go back to Spain.
Staying on the coach in the athlete's village. We were warm and dry. We chatted comfortably with new friends. We had the best possible pre-race experience. I liked the location of the hotel to the finish line. With the weather so terrible, it was great knowing I only had to walk two blocks back to my room.
The best part of this trip was seeing friends from Rome/Paris last year. Similarly, I really enjoyed seeing Jane again. We first met in 2016 in London. The whole experience was warm and friendly. Barcelona is a wonderful city, too. I'm glad to see that you offer it again.
Having Scott & Marathon Tours take care of all the details. Scott is a pleasure to work with - friendly, dedicated, responsive - a true professional. Thanks.
Awesome. The run was incredible and very well-supported. Marathon Tours made it all so easy, taking care of all the little details so we could just enjoy ourselves. I would never try to do a trip like this on my own.
Loved the course....it was difficult but so so so enjoyable....the scenery was spectacular... the single track was FUN! Course markings were excellent, rest stops plentiful.
Easter Island is a special place. The Marathon was challenging, but a lot of fun.
Easter Island - fabulous place, great 'island' feel. It more than surpassed my already high expectations.
Overall, the Great Wall marathon and experience was absolutely life changing. Before this trip my option and understanding of China was not at all what I saw and experienced. This was eyeopening and hugely educational. I feel fortunate to have taken this trip and am excited to share what I learned with my friends and family. Job Well Done!!
I was thrilled with the beauty of the country and being able to spend so much time hiking it. The camaraderie of most participants and staff added to the fun
This is a unique trip because the run is actually secondary in the experience. Words really can't describe it, I'm telling friends to go and then lets talk!
It was professionally organized, the guides were great, every day was an adventure, the hikes, especially Tigers Nest was just awesome. Jeff's attention to detail and his ability to connect with everyone on the trip makes it a great experience.
Inspirational, spiritual and unique.
Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. His organisational skills were second to none and he never missed a thing. During the trek he was always calm, kind and knowledgeable and looked after everyone. Once back in Thimphu and Paro he was on top of everything without having to be asked. He is probably the best guide we have had over the course of many trips. We cannot speak highly enough of him.
Very physically difficult which led to an even deeper spiritual journey.
