    • "As usual, a stellar experience traveling with Marathon Tours & Travel..." - 2024

      As usual, a stellar experience traveling with Marathon Tours & Travel! Very detailed information which assisted in planning for the marathon.

      You did a great job organizing the Boston Marathon MTT events and schedule. LOVED the location of the hotel, the course tour was amazing and the private bus to the start line wonderful. The pre and post events you hosted were great – and the pre-race dinner is so nice (one less thing to think about). Highly recommend this trip to everyone!!! Great way to do Boston!!!

      Everything and everyone connected to Marathons Tours & Travel was super excellent. I had never been to Boston. Everything was “taken care of as described”, It was well organized and the emails / updates were great and informative. It made all the logistics easy and I could focus on the race itself. I enjoyed meeting other racers as well at the social events.

      "I just wanted to say thank you for letting me part of the VIP package experience..." - 2024

      I just wanted to say thank you for letting me part of the VIP package experience.  This was my 8th Boston Marathon, and I will have to say the absolute best experience for me.  Your company is truly top notch in everything you did. Thank you again and I look forward to being apart of it again in 2025.

      "I just wanted to say thank you for everything..." - 2023

      I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you did this weekend. My friend and I had the best time, everything was so well organized and I am so grateful for all your hard work.

      "The private coach bus transfer to the start made everything worth it..." - 2023

      The private coach bus transfer to the start made everything worth it. That and the hotel location. Made my first Boston experience infinitely better.

      "I plan on using Marathon Tours again..." - 2022

      I plan on using Marathon Tours again because everything was perfect and the staff was excellent and caring.

      "The hotel location was fantastic..." - 2022

      The hotel location was fantastic – just the right amount of information for group get togethers and time to explore on our own.

      "My motivation for going with the VIP Package..." - 2022

      My motivation for going with the VIP Package was for the private coach bus transfer and the no-hassle hotel booking at a preferred location. The coach was fantastic.

      "I wanted to let you know how happy I was that I decided to use Marathon Tours..." - 2021

      I wanted to let you know how happy I was that I decided to use Marathon Tours for the Boston marathon this year. With the rescheduling and cancellation of the 2020 marathon, I am so appreciative of all the extra work you had to do to make this happen. Your customer service skills are impeccable! Attending the cocktail party, dinner and the bus tour, and all the great advice and fun stories about the Boston Marathon really made this even more special and exciting. I also met some great running women at the various functions which was also a great bonus.

      "Thank you for all you have done..." - 2020

      Thank you for all you have done to schedule and then reschedule the VIP Tour. While as runners all we had to do was keep going right, left, right, left a zillion times, I can only imagine all you and your team had to do to scramble to make changes. And then to have it cancelled must be exhausting to say the least. I look forward to doing a marathon with your company at a future date. Thanks for everything.

      "As usual, the entire team was at our service..." - 2019

      As usual, the entire team was at our service and made the whole planning stage of this trip a breeze.

      "First time using marathon tours will definitely use again!" - 2019

      It was very well run. I felt like I was taken care of. Everyone was so nice and supportive. First time using marathon tours will definitely use again!

      "This was my first Boston Marathon..." - 2019

      This was my first Boston Marathon, and being in this package made the logistics of getting to the race, and knowing all of the details of the race seamless. I’m so glad that I got this package.

      "Everything went so smoothly..." - 2019

      Everything went so smoothly. Everyone was genuinely “NICE”. Allyson accommodated the addition of a family member to my VIP package very quickly and willingly only days before the event… she did it within an hour! This was important because I was also trying to book one of the few remaining seats on our flight for that person. The itinerary was put together extremely well. The food was incredibly good and plentiful… the restaurants were classy and excellent. The VIP bus transfer to the start is priceless!!!

      "This was my 4th time to Boston..." - 2019

      This was my 4th time to Boston to run the marathon and it was by far the best experience because it was Marathon Tours!

      "Staying on the coach in the athlete's village..." - 2018

      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.

      "Thank you for making this Boston experience one to be remember." - 2018

      Thank you for making this Boston experience one to be remember.

      "Great trip!" - 2018

      Great trip! The Hotel Package was very well organized and thought out.

      "The package was better than I expected..." - 2018

      The package was better than I expected, and I’m lucky to have been on it!
