Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

A tour of French Gothic cathedrals in broadly chronological order of their being built, with an expert guide to explain the development of the Gothic style of architecture.

Martin Randall Travel is a well-established specialist cultural tour operator. Their tours are carefully constructed with great attention to detail. We have been on many tours with them over the years and look forward to continuing this.

It was a delightful mix of Cave Art, excellent hotels and wonderful food! Id recommend them.

Martin Randal Travel Very efficient and organised travelling to specialist interests and places

A musical tour in Suffolk with 6 concerts over 4 days.

This company is expensive, but everything and everybody from the company is of highest calibre

This was a first rate performance of Wagner's Ring Cycle.

The Accommodation and arrangements were all first rate.

Touring the great Gothic cathedrals of Northern France provides breath-taking sights, but we also had well-measured and detailed architectural analysis, lovely food, and a tour manager who left nothing for our comfort to chance.

Martin Randall Travel is famed for its attention to detail, and this has been borne out again and again in the many times we have travelled with them.

All three hotels were of a good standard, the itinerary was interesting and varied. The lecturer made the site visits interesting. Guests were very well looked after, with individual needs attended to.

MRT is always caring and puts the well-being of their guests as their top priority.

It was run by Martin Randall and entitled Great Irish Houses. A group of 15 of us spent 9 days visiting some of the best of the houses and grounds of the Protestant Irish “Ascendancy”. In most cases these houses could be called palaces, so exquisite were their interior design, decoration and furnishings. Coming from a colonial country myself and being descended from members of the colonising race, I found the tour absolutely intriguing and thought-provoking, though colonisation was certainly not a focus of the tour. All the hereditary owners or their representatives gave informative introductory talks and/or tours, and several hosted us to lunch, tea or dinner, and at one of the properties we stayed for two nights as guests of the owners, a truly delightful and interesting experience. We travelled between the houses, located in both southern and northern Ireland, in comfortable coaches through attractive rural countryside. For me one of the best features of the tour was our guide, who was extremely knowledgeable but presented only concise introductions for each house, though he was very ready to talk later and at length if asked.

The tour manager and driver were both very good and went out of their way to make the tour run smoothly, but the guide/lecturer was absolutely outstanding. I would like to participate in any tour he leads.

Excellent

MRT

Visiting a variety of gardens in the Highlands of Scotland.

Very efficient, with extremely knowledgeable guides. I am unlikely to recommend Martin Randall to friends as they would not dream of going on such expensive tours staying at top-class hotels, though I guess you get what you pay for., which includes small-group numbers.

A wonderful experience

Unbelievably well organised, Well researched presentations. Staff friendly and very helpful. Food excellent with a wide choice. The best choral music I’ve heard in a very long time.
