very well organised

A week visiting picturesque hilltop towns around Perugia, viewing works of art, feasting, and enjoying being in Italy at a time when there are few tourists.

Martin Randall Travel specializes in tours curated by scholarly experts.

It was a wonderful tour of Basilicata and Calabria enabling us to enjoy in depth the delights of Matera before taking us on a fascinating exploration of the jewels of areas little known to tourism, and, in some instances, not generally accessible to visitors. In one town, we were able to visit a museum and archaeological park which had been closed for some years.

Martin Randall's organisation of the tour was excellent. Everything proceeded seamlessly and without problems - even though behind the scenes the tour manager sometimes had to do a lot of work to pin down people to open up the little church the lecturer wanted us to see or persuade a greengrocer to put on a splendid lunch for us when the limited dining venues decided to have a day off. Both she and the lecturer ensured we saw everything and had a wonderful holiday which I will always remember.

A well organized tour, informative and enjoyable

Excellent. Martin Randall tours are informative, well organized with great lecturers

Essentially, this was a 5 day small group (18) walking tour of the highlights of Venice, starting with San Marco and Pallazzo Ducale. In these and all subsequent popular tourist places there was no queuing. Additionally, there were private viewings such as the Basilica di San Marco (opened solely for the group at night). It focused on Venice when it was at the height of its powers in the 16 century. Local guides spoke to the group in several locations. The lecturer's knowledge of Venice was impressive, with no question too difficult to answer. Radio guides make it easy to hear every word of the leader..

The Story of Venice tour was a typical tour by Martin Randall Travel - consistently focused on its aims, friendly helpful and knowledgeable lecturer/guide and tour manager, private visits to unusual places while including local important highlights, great hotels with some included dinners at high quality restaurants; at all times making sure of an enjoyable holiday for the participants.

It was a music festival organised and run by Martin Randall Travel in Venice (La Serenissima) over 5 days. There were 8 concerts, each performed in a different historical location with a daily lecture on the music and its context. The music was from the Renaissance and to Baroque when Venice was the centre of European music. Dinners were at superb restaurants. There were also optional daily tours of places of interest in Venice.

This music festival was totally designed and run by the English travel company, Martin Randall Travel. The quality of the performers was excellent throughout, as was its daily schedule coordinating about 170 participants in several hotels. The music festival was a major operation expertly run for a superb experience of its participants.

Wonderful music. outstanding performers in really beautiful venues.
