Visiting Cuba was a lesson in resilience and an opportunity to see beautiful people and architecture.
Fantastic way to experience a lovely country and meet the warm Cuban people.
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!!
Thanks so much for organizing the Cuba Marabana trip. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and you made all my experiences absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed all of the cultural experiences, and all the support for the Cuban people!
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!
From the rooftops of Havana I experienced fabulous food, great weather, made new friends and had impactful cultural exchanges during the tours which will remain with me forever.
The extension was the icing on the cake of a GREAT vacation and an ending with relaxation.
I loved this trip, it was a unique cultural and foreign experience. It’s what I was looking for! The hotel, the food, the location - everything was great. I felt the communication about what to expect before and during the trip was spot on and there were no surprises.
Well organised. Excellent pre-trip information. Quick email responses and detailed information. Well done! I think we experienced the best of the best in Havana.
Karen was on top of everything ... fielding questions, comments and requests very quickly. I felt like I was in good hands.
Travel to Cuba is unique, and more complex that most of my past international travel. Karen's patience and knowledge was greatly appreciated.
Karen was an excellent "tour guide" and problem solver during the Havana portion of the trip as we did not extend beyond Havana. During the pretrial planning and preparation, Karen was totally on top of the logistics, and was most responsive and timely to all our questions. Since I am an author, I was most impressed with her writing and communication ability. I would highly recommend Karen and give her a 6 star rating. ( on a scale of 1 to 5)
