iron curtain

A coach ride down the old iron curtain, Baltic to Adriatic - a free route now with barriers largely disappeared. However enough remains to give you an idea of what was - and still is in parts of the world. Inevitably you can't but bump into other history on the way - Luther's accommodations in Coburg, memorial to General Patton and the U.S. 3rd Army in Czech Republic, memories of Musso and Maximilian in Trieste, need I go on? And, even if ...

A coach ride down the old iron curtain, Baltic to Adriatic - a free route now with barriers largely disappeared. However enough remains to give you an idea of what was - and still is in parts of the world. Inevitably you can't but bump into other history on the way - Luther's accommodations in Coburg, memorial to General Patton and the U.S. 3rd Army in Czech Republic, memories of Musso and Maximilian in Trieste, need I go on? And, even if you're not into history, there's the beautiful architecture and museums all along the route. Scenery? - sorry, you'll be disappointed until you reach the final Austria to Italy section

Very positive about them. A professional outfit who knew what they were doing. You felt individually appreciated without being embarrassingly pampered. As well as getting you places where there were excellent guides, you also had free time in the places where different interests would take people different ways

Living and learning with friends

We travelled on a thirteen-day tour of Sicily with a group of twenty-four people who began as strangers and parted as friends. Together, we shared a remarkable intellectual and cultural journey that took us back nearly tree thousand years. We saw sites where ancient battles were fought, where ancient gods were worshipped and famous Greek plays were first performed. We visited Norman palaces and churches of unbelievable splendour and works of ...

We travelled on a thirteen-day tour of Sicily with a group of twenty-four people who began as strangers and parted as friends. Together, we shared a remarkable intellectual and cultural journey that took us back nearly tree thousand years. We saw sites where ancient battles were fought, where ancient gods were worshipped and famous Greek plays were first performed. We visited Norman palaces and churches of unbelievable splendour and works of art from more recent times that overwhelmed. And all the while, enjoying the noise and bustle of modern-day Sicily, its wine its food and its generosity. It was very hard to say goodbye.

Rating for tour operator:

Our tour operator was Martin Randall. Pre-travel information and service was excellent. On tour the day-trips were well planned, varied and accommodating. The lecturer was very well informed and generous with his time and knowledge. The tour leader never failed to attend to our needs.

Dark Age Brillance

This tour explored late antique/early Middle Age churches in northern Italy and Croatia.It lasted 8 days based in Ravenna and Cividale. It challenged much conventional wisdom about the Dark Ages. Excellent lecturer and like-minded fellow travellers.

A visit to the Beethoven Festival in Bonn

This was a rare opportunity to hear all of Beethoven's symphonies in chronological order, in Beethoven's birthplace, and in the company of a musical professional to provide an expert commentary. The performances were by the CBSO under Andris Nelsons and all were given standing ovations by a largely German audience. It was an unforgettable experience.

We have booked on over 23 holidays with Martin Randall Travel over the last twelve years and have been invariably delighted with the quality and value for money of all of them. We have looked at brochures from other companies but always rejected them in favour of MRT.

Fabulously-organised trip, with exciting, stimulating lecturers.

Five days in Madrid, with every detail taken care of, excellent meals and wine, which enabled us to take in the very rich cultural diet so sympathetically served up by our lecturer. For me it was an unforgettable introduction to Madrid and its sublime art collections.

Martin Randall Delivers on Scottish Borders Tour

A week luxuriating at a comfortable Victorian house hotel on the Duke of Roxburghe's estate, visiting stately homes and eating delicious meals. The sun shone every day. What's not to love?

Duchy of Urbino MA 924 (Is this what the question asks? Or "Everything I hoped"?)

It was excellent: very well-organised, very interesting, a good mix of subject matter, care taken to mix effort and rest.

I have travelled with MRT many times. Every time I am impressed with their attention to detail in all areas. The lecturers are first class and the organisation is spot on. I have every confidence that should something go wrong, they will take steps to deal with it and minimize the problem.
