      Destination Marathons delivered again! Had a great time in London. They took care of all the details and even got a warm room in a hotel near the start line for us to wait in the morning of the race. I had friends who sat outside in the cold for 3 hours while I sat inside with water and snacks. Loved the tour of London and the Tate Modern as well. Can’t wait to travel with them again!!

      Our second trip with Destination Marathons, and it did not disappoint! Another very well organized and executed trip, with great excursions for both the runner and non-runner spouse - we both had a great time in London. We will definitely use Destination Marathons again in the future!

      The Destination Marathon team made my Boston Marathon experience even more wonderful than I had thought possible! Everything was perfect from the time we arrived at the hotel! They greeted us with open arms & immediately made us feel welcome! The swag bag full of goodies was such a treat! I loved it all….especially the Boston course cap! The pasta meal get together Sunday evening was wonderful, the charter bus was amazing & ohhh the after marathon party was over the top! All the food was so delicious & ohhh the massage was absolutely amazing! I could go on & on! Perfect, perfect, perfect, all if it! The hotel was perfect too & ohhh the breakfast every morning was so delicious! I did not take advantage of so many other things they offered because I wanted to rest & be ready for the marathon… but next year I definitely will. Best experience ever & I can not praise the team enough. I met so many wonderful people too! I ran a wonderful marathon & could not be happier! 10 stars ⭐️ Thank you again! Pam Guidry

      This trip was amazing! The DM team planned a great balance of fun activities with free time and anticipated every possible need related to the race and spectating. All of their efforts made the entire experience as worry free as possible. Accommodations were comfortable and convenient to the finish area, and DM’s local guide, Fiona, was a phenomenal resource for all things related to London and the marathon experience. This was our second trip with DM and we are looking forward to traveling with them again in the near future! We highly recommend Destination Marathons!

      We loved London and can't wait to go back. It's so nice having a group to travel with and help take care of the travel details. You just need to focus on your race and crossing that finish line.

      Destination Marathons: A First-Class Marathon Experience in London If you're looking for a way to combine your love of running with an unforgettable travel experience, then look no further than Destination Marathons! I recently used their services for the London Marathon, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Destination Marathons took care of everything. Their friendly leadership team ensured a smooth and stress-free experience, always going the extra mile to make sure my stay was first-class. They handled all the logistics, from securing a coveted spectator spot to cheer on my Wife who ran in the London Marathon to booking my luxurious accommodation at the Sheraton Park Lane, right by Buckingham Palace! The Sheraton itself was fantastic. The location couldn't have been better, putting us within walking distance of many iconic landmarks. But what truly elevated the trip was Destination Marathons' meticulously planned tours. Hopping on the traditional red double-decker buses, we explored the best that London has to offer. From the historic London Tower and the captivating Tate Museum to the iconic London Bridge and the ever-present Big Ben, we saw it all. There's no way I could have packed so much sightseeing into my trip without their expert organization. Thanks to Destination Marathons, We were able to focus on what mattered most – conquering the London Marathon! Their support and organization ensured a truly first-class experience, both on and off the racecourse. If you're looking for a well-organized and luxurious way to experience a marathon in a new city, I highly recommend Destination Marathons!
