A fantastic Art tour in Italy

For a week a group of 15 of us, together with an excellent art historian and a helpful and efficient tour guide, travelled around central and northern Italy mainly looking at the work of Piero della Francesca. It was a visual feast to see Renaissance art and architecture in towns from Arezzo to Urbino, Florence to Milan. The tour was intensive but there was time for tasty Italian meals and convivial conversation. I enjoyed everything!

Every detail was carefully planned and the tour ran smoothly. It was my first holiday with Martin Randall and it exceeded my high expectations!

Experience of Courts of Northern Italy

A most informative and eye feasting tour.Did visit some of the sites last year on our own but this tour has given us more insight.The life of the Courts come alive! We were especially pleased to be able to taste the local food and wine at some of the family run resturants.Tour Manager was most helpful to guide us through the menu and explain all the dishes.A real bonus of this trip

Administration before the tour excellent.I asked Martin Randall travel London to send separate forms and information to my sister in New Jersy USA with no difficulty.The itinerary well planned .The lecturer Dr Douglas Scott was enthusiastic and kowledgeable.He is passionate about printings and books.We were able to visit some old library not included in the itinerary.Tour manager Charlotte Howlett Jones was efficient and thoughtful.She gave us chances to taste the local gems from her knowledgeable experiences on 'slow cooking'----movement to use fresh local produce and cooking traditionally.Most stimulating tour.

Hotel excellent and travel arrangements perfectly satisfactorily. Tour Manager very sympathetic to all my requirements. My fourth holiday with this company and I would not choose anyone else.

Excellent quality, fascinating and educational day at the Italina renaissance collection, National Gallery London.

One day guided tour themed around the Italian Renaissance paintings at the National Gallery in London. Superb guide, small group, very good lunch and refreshments. I learned a lot - not just about Italian art but how to look at paintings. Also a very congenial group.

Martin Randall again showed superb organisation and provided an expert guide who engaged well with us all. The Gallery staged a strike on that day - we were warned about this and the team adapted superbly to the changed conditions and still delivered a wonderful day.

Music, History, Art, and Architecture in Berlin

I have developed a new respect for Berlin and its history and achievements as well as an appreciation for its outstanding Christmas lighting, architecture, museums, ballet, and concerts. Our guide was very knowledgeable, continuously giving us information and explanations of what we saw -- historic sites, buildings, monuments, ancient artefacts, sculptures, paintings, music. He was also very considerate and patient and always positive in responding ...

I have developed a new respect for Berlin and its history and achievements as well as an appreciation for its outstanding Christmas lighting, architecture, museums, ballet, and concerts. Our guide was very knowledgeable, continuously giving us information and explanations of what we saw -- historic sites, buildings, monuments, ancient artefacts, sculptures, paintings, music. He was also very considerate and patient and always positive in responding to questions or special requests for help or more information. Meals and itinerary were very well planned, so that we were busy visiting key places in Berlin most of the time, yet still had some free time so that those who wanted to rest could do so and those who wanted to visit other places on their own were given help and advice on where to go and how to get there. The guide even made himself available to walk with us to see Berlin's spectacular New Year's fireworks at midnight.

Superbly treated, educated and entertained by Martin Randall Travel

One luxurious week of Christmas and Culture in Munich, with two day excursions to other Bavarian towns.

Rating for tour operator:

I usually travel independently, because I don't like shopping, being herded around, etc. Martin Randall gets it all right: Culture, class, good hotels, good food, a judicious mixture of sightseeing and free time, and expert lecturers. My only regret is that I didn't discover this agency 20 years ago!

Sicily, October, 2014 - Excellent for body and soul

Apart from the obvious things which were very good I enjoyed the other participants very much. The tour guide went beyond the call of duty and seemed to be enjoying himself.

Apart from confusion arising from communicating from Aus and London, very good

Thank you, Mr Baillie, for taking the time to review your tour with MRT.

We are looking into the causes to learn from and remedy this. We much appreciate your drawing our attention to it - our clients' feedback is invaluable to improving our service. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the tour and please do not hesitate to contact Stephanie or myself in the Australian office with any queries or feedback in future. With thanks, Kelly Ward, Director, Martin Randall Australasia
