TCS London Marathon AbbottWMM Six Star Journey

Haley and the rest of the Marathon Tours & Travel staff were amazing! Wonderful experience! Can’t say enough good things about the London Marathon or travelling with Marathon Tours. Thanks for making this once in a lifetime experience possible.

The Marathon Tours & Travel team has done an excellent job in selecting great properties to stay at. The bus to the start was excellent as was the early breakfast.

This was my first marathon experience with Marathon Tours & Travel (MTT) and it was excellent. A high quality hotel with access to breakfast each day and a nice pre-race dinner was invaluable to my pre-marathon preparation. Transportation to the start line/corrals was also excellent. I ran a personal best in London and I truly think that MTT played a part in my performance! Not having to stress about essential meals or transportation was so helpful.

Good balance of scheduled time and free time. Hotels (London and Edinburgh) were high quality and conveniently located for our group and personal activities. Marathon Tours & Travel hosts were attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. Transportation to race start area is a definite bonus!

The overall experience was wonderful. The staff was amazing; very organized, great communication, and they ensured everyone was well informed. The Hotel was incredible and the location made it easy to access the Underground. Thank you very much for the opportunity to travel with your group

Traveling is hard enough and stressful so having your amazing team do all the hard work makes my life and marathon so much more enjoyable!

Loved the MTT London Marathon experience. Hotels excellent. Shake out run on Saturday was fun. Dinner was very good. Hannah Allyson and Karen were excellent guides.

This is my third trip with Marathon Tours & Travel and am always impressed with the thoroughness of the pre-trip planning and dissemination of information.

Running a marathon in a large city, especially a major, can be isolating and scary given all of the moving pieces. Marathon Tours & Travel takes those fears away and makes the entire experience enjoyable.

You make it easy and take the stress out of doing an international marathon. Thank you for that. Our overall experience was excellent. And MTT does a great job picking really good hotels in outstanding locations.

Being part of this Abbott World Major and making friends with other runners = Priceless! I also appreciate how Marathon Tours makes it so easy to participate by taking care of registration, finding ideal lodging, breakfast, and dinner the evening before, and getting us to the expo and the start of the race.

Great job Marathon Tours! The experience and support received before we actually departed to London is unparalleled. Enjoyed being welcomed upon arrival at the host hotel. Amazing carb load dinner, the evening before race day. Trip addition to Edinburgh, Scotland was amazing. Thank you, Thank you!!

What did I like the most? The people – MTT hosts and runners are instant friends and family. The opening night talk by Jeff and Tom saying more about the mission and purpose of MTT helped me understand why I would want to stay connected to MTT for my destination marathons.

Allyson was amazing!! We felt so very prepared going to London…no question went unanswered. We were so grateful to be going with Marathon tours! Loved the race morning bus, that was so stress free!

Exceptional company, best customer service, above and beyond professionalism during these challenging times, cares so much about their clients we practically feel like family.

We had previously experienced the quality and calibre of a Marathon Tours and Travel trip to the Berlin Marathon and felt the experience that was provided was incredibly well planned and coordinated and was good value for the level of service and experiences that were provided.

I learned a good deal regarding what MTT was all about and the real value you bring to the distance running community over time and finally joined the Berlin tour in 2018. That’s when I knew I would try to trave/race with MTT anytime I could in the future.

Our trip to London and participation in the London Marathon was an exceptional experience resulting from the thorough and detailed planning of Marathon Tours and Travel!

The pre-trip emails, recommendations, covid rules and testing was absolutely invaluable. Feeling comfortable with what we were supposed to do and not worrying about our options made the trip infinitely better. I also liked the transportation to the start from the hotel, talk about making it easy on us! Well done!

The MTT staff and fellow runners. All so friendly and welcoming and helpful to a first-timer on traveling with MTT.

I did not have to ‘think’ much about the days MTT was in control and had planned. We did our own thing before and after the MTT 4 days, which went fine, but was exhausting from a planning and follow-up stand point. It is worth it to have experts do this!

Absolute exceptional organization! Working with Marathon Tours and Travel is the best way to experience any marathon major!

Top notch service! The information of Covid travel special made for our fellow Canadian is very clear and very detailed, for sure it is a great help, I don’t know I could survival without it. Allyson helped us to deal with the very last min change with our travel plan, much appreciated.

Great locations in very nice hotels with great MT staff support. We arrived two days early and left two days later and everything was ready for us. You make it easy for us.

The purpose of this trip was to complete a marathon but I got so much more – this was the trip of a lifetime.

Amazing experience in London and Edinburgh with a nice mix of structure activities and down time.

I felt like finishing my final race in the Abbott WMM was a huge accomplishment thanks to Marathon Tours.

Stephanie was great answering all of my questions and helping us arrange additional nights in both London and Edinburgh. Made it all seamless for us.

Stephanie did a fantastic job lining up the London Marathon! It was great meeting everyone else at the hotel.

Jacqui and Stephanie were amazing hosts and I would love to take another trip that they are hosting in the future. They are both very fun, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Incredible support for a very memorable run… Marathon Tours looked after the details so I could focus on the run!

Awesome unforgettable experience! Marathon Tour made my overseas marathon race event peace of mind!

It was a memorable marathon, and Marathon Tours helped make it so by expertly handling all the logistics.

Fantastic hotel! Conrad St James VERY comfy bed, Awesome breakfast, and perfect location. Thom and Staff were hospitable and friendly as always. Brilliant trip. One of the best City Marathons in the World to run – iconic scenery, wonderful generous crowd, and fast course. Loved it.

I have never been so comfortable and relaxed leading up to my race, knowing that I would be transported to the marathon site. My experience has usually been scouting out the area , and getting there alone. Racing and running is difficult enough without having to be concerned with this problem.

The staff clearly knows the location and the race. I feel comfortable knowing that I am traveling with an organization that knows what they are doing. This trip was as enjoyable as the trips I have taken with Marathon Tours to Tokyo and Berlin.

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.

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.

PS – A big shout out to Jen Ryder… Thanks for being my point of contact in the long lead up to race day and answering any questions along the way. Always prompt and friendly, you are amazing!

Welcome reception to meet other runners was great. Having the package with hotel organized together and the hotel was close to finish line. ​Transport to start was very much appreciated.

Great communication before the trip. Welcome reception was very nice, wish I could stay longer. The location of the hotel Park Plaza was excellent. The continental breakfast was great in the morning.

We loved the hotel choice, a landmark for London. Also it was great to meet Marathons Tours staff in person and all the other runners at the dinner (food was great!). It makes all the difference to have someone else take care for you to get to the start line in time.

The race experience was exceptional. Marathon Tours was organized. The people I met were awesome and made me feel at home.

One of the best marathons I’ve run; the best expo I’ve been to; location of hotel great; hotel itself great — better than expected. Bus trip to start was crucial.

London Marathon was a wonderful experience and it was fun to meet a lot of other runners at the welcome reception and also staying at the hotel. The buses to the start were a big plus.
