I liked the extension. The hotel was in an ideal location, our tour guide was excellent, and I liked that we broke up the temples with a tea ceremony and sake museum. I like the time we had to do some shopping in Kyoto and liked the shrine at the top of the mountain.
The tours that were set up for us were amazing and well planned. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and we learned so much about Tokyo and Kyoto history. We really enjoyed our days in Kyoto, our favorite stops being Fushimi Inari, the Emporer's Palace and the Sake museum. All of the travel from trains to bus was very well organized with good communication throughout the trip from Nicole and Caitlin helped to make sure everyone was where they needed to be on time.
First experience with Marathon Tours and we were extremely pleased!
A special thanks to Jane and her husband, both of you did a wonderful job with the group, even though there was different levels of experience within the group. Steve and I who are novice runners never were made to feel different, quite to the contrary, the group was respectful and offered their advice and experience to us and the various runs. Jane and Bill were always there for us and it was reassuring as an experience. They are classy people always willing to help out a fellow runner, not to mention they are also very inspiring given their life experience within the running community
Wow. I had an exceptional time with this awesome group. I highly recommend Marathon Tours and definitely want to travel with them again...and again!!!
Thanks Ann for planning such a great fun filled event everything was outstanding, better than I had anticipated and the people are amazing.
A great adventure to a complex, remote part of the world with an extremely challenging race thrown in.
Logistics, accommodations and race were great!
This was my first international trip let alone running my first international marathon and I am extremely grateful for the overall experience Marathon Tours (Jane and Jacqui) provided. From the hotel & tour in London, to the hotel and tour in Edinburgh, the trip was absolutely incredible. I will definitely book with you again in the future and also recommend you to many of my running friends.
A trip I will never forget, made easy by Marathon Tours because they had the right hotel locations and document organization that made my trip very easy and allowed me to focus on having FUN.
It was beautiful to see all of us runners supported by international spectators and each other while running through the streets of Paris -- that's how life should be.
My experience with Marathon Tours and the 2016 trip overall was Magnificent.
Special thanks to Ann and Jane - they genuinely care. I can't wait for my next Marathon Tour.
Appreciated the overall organization of Marathon Tours. From Jen assisting me with all my bookings and questions, to the the constant communication from our guides while actually in the UK.
The city of Prague was wonderful. The hotel was very nice. Jen did a great job! She made a point of learning everyone's names and being available if needed. The race was great fun.
HOW WELL ORGANISED IT WAS. The location was great close to everything.Karen and Anna excellant staff tour.
Karen is awesome. She answered all questions promptly and thoroughly. She has a calm, but incredibly organized demeanor that made the trip both for fun and efficient.
At the VIP finish area I could not believe the food. Wow! Hard-boiled eggs, salmon, bagels, potato salad, scones (with cream), great coffee, hint waters. I had to take a picture!! Also enjoyed having the wine tasting right in the VIP area too. It was great to be able to watch all the runners and walkers finish right there!
I love being able to say I ran the Great Wall and that I went to China. But, really, it was the good friends I made along the way and being with so many people for a single purposes and memory we experienced together.
The Great Wall did not disappoint for adventure and stamina needed to complete the race. Local Guides and sites were terrific. Also liked the Rikshaw ride into old Beijing
