"Superb help and guidance during the stay..." - 2015Was an excellent event which Marathon Tours representative provide a superb help and guidance during the stay.
"Liked best? The whole experience of international running..." - 2015Liked best? The whole experience of international running……….learning so much about another culture and being able to see another part of the world through running.
"The race was great..." - 2014The race was great. Good choice, and I’m glad you offered a half marathon. It’s much easier to do than a full marathon while on a destination trip since the recovery and prep is less, therefore more time to do other things around it – sightseeing, etc.
"A great race and location..." - 2014A great race and location. Extremely well organized and well marked.
"The staff at the hotel were just wonderful..." - 2014The staff at the hotel were just wonderful. I can’t even begin to say enough about them. Also thought the race was well-organized and I loved the route through the parks.
