Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

A well-designed tour featuring three operas and a concert, with a visit to the Louvre, a walking tour and a guided tour of the Palais Garnier. The lecturer was excellent and the tour was well managed. (Having both a tour manager and a lecturer is a feature of Martin Randell's tours, and it really makes a difference.)

Martin Randall Travel is a top of the range cultural tour operator. They use very good hotels and their packages strike the right balance between group dining and individual choice. They usually have a tour manager and an expert lecturer on each trip. They never disappoint.

Excellent service throughout. Hotels high standard, accompanying lecturer and organiser informative and efficient; local guides good -> excellent

I was testing this company as I'd read so much; nothing disappointed. Sanity saving help w Indian eVisa before departure answered all my doubt. There were so many little extras I'm spoilt for many other companies!.

Planned and led by Juliet Rix who has also written a guidebook on Malta. Malta has such rich offerings in terms of history from many periods that it is quite a feat to incorporate a broad range of places to visit into one week while at the same time giving some time for the concerts as well as a tiny amount of independence.

Provided a well planned holiday, demonstrated much agility and flexibility when circumstances changed, as they always do. Tour Manager had a nice sense of humour and balance and I felt no challenge was too much for him. Thank you Alberto.

Very enjoyable

Excellent

The organisation was completely satisfactory and as a first experience it was 100 per cent

The details were clear in the advance details and the representatives "on site" were helpful, friendly and delightful when engaged in conversation and entirely sympathetic and showed the enthusiasm which was evident from all the participants.

I enjoyed spending Christmas away (for the first time), free of responsibilities, and in the company of like-minded travellers who wished to see and learn more about the history, art and architecture of the region, without being rushed or 'herded'.

MR provides a well-qualified lecturer and a tour manager on tours of this kind, and ensures that the accommodation and the travelling arrangements are of high quality.

My wife and I went on Martin Randall's "Connoisseur's Rome", 3-8 November 2015. The tour was accompanied by an expert lecturer who was able to convey a lot of information to a mainly non-specialist audience in a very approachable and good-humoured way, and a tour manager who was a discreet presence, efficiently phoning ahead to check arrangements, accompanying participants when appropriate, and offering useful local advice (e.g. on restaurants) when asked. An added attraction of the tour was visits to several palazzos not normally open to the public. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and learned a lot about Rome.

This was our second Martin Randall tour. As previously, organisation was excellent throughout, from initial enquiry to the return journey. I am sure that we will travel with Martin Randall again.

Rich Texans buy the best art in the world. Sometimes they create collections which they tend to donate to the state. This is what we were looking at. We went on a great journey from Houston to Marfa (to see Donald Judd's sculptures) to San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth. There are wonderful collections in all these places. We went in November expecting cold weather but it was the best time to travel there. The summer must be hot.

They keep up a constant stream of information as soon as they have it so that when you go to a far off destination you have at least some knowledge of the places you will visit.

The Year of Annuversaries involved high quality professional historians lecturing on their areas of expertise. The setting of Lincoln added to the enjoyment.

Martin Randell Travel always gives great satisfaction. They organise impeccably and their association with History Today ensures high academic quality too.

Very well organised and in an excellent Hotel. I cannot fault the arrangements.

Over the years I have travelled many times with Martin Randall. One can usually be guaranteed exactly what has been described with an occasional relapse. The itinerary is good and hotels well chosen. Although expensive they are value for money.
