Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

In the Lake District we visited specific places connected to the Arts and Craft movement. It was informative in every respect and we had plenty of time to visit at our leisure. The lecturer's input was excellent, knowledgeable without being too academic.

Very well organized in every respect.

A holiday that involves walking through olive groves and visiting beautiful hilltop towns in Umbria.

Very organised and attention to details.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative visit to the best mansions of the Protestant Irish Ascendancy of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The current owners who hosted us at some of the properties told us of the challenges of maintaining these beautiful houses. Coach travel, accommodation and house & garden visits were excellently arranged in nearly every detail and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip.

Booking was straightforward, the tour manager saw to every detail including unforeseen difficulties such as a covid case during the trip; and the lecturer was outstanding, giving us exactly the right amount of information, always absorbing and interesting, on the houses at exactly the right time. He gave two additional evening lectures which were also excellent.

The holiday was a tour of the Mediaeval Sites of Central Portugal. The Lecturer - John McNeill was not only extremely knowledgeable and engaging, but also charming. However, the itinerary was rather rushed (six days not enough).

Martin Randall. I felt they were cutting corners with this tour when it came to two of the hotels and the meals, which were substandard for my taste. I was disappointed as I had travelled with the company before and been bowled over by the food and wines on that tour.

sailing Dalmatian Coast, with Martin Randall Travels

relaxed, very well organised,

Visiting old castles and churches in Wales

They pay attention to detail very well

An excellent specialist in ART HISTORY gave balanced analysis on various - mainly paintings - exhibits without overwhelming detail.

Attention to detail with a simple, carefully produced tour booklet- departure times, locations for meeting, etc. on a 'Day 1, Day 2, ... ' basis - made visits practically foolproof.

We chose our trip based upon the lecturer, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, and we were not disappointed. What surprised us was how Greek and Roman ruins in Turkey opened up the wide window to understand how empires rolled over this special land, situated as it is at the crossroads of East and West. My view of classical history is forever changed and deepened.

Martin Randall Travel was able to safely conduct a well-organized tour at the "end" of COVID, and despite all the hiccups in everyone's systems at the end of the pandemic, we had a smooth and lovely time and were treated exceptionally well. I highly recommend their professionalism.

We toured the Gardens and Villas of the Veneto. Both the Lecturer and Tour Manager were knowledgable and enthusiastic making the busy programme so easy for us to enjoy. The holiday was specially appreciated after the restrictions of Lockdown during the COVID19 pandemic.

We have booked holidays in the past with Martin Randall and have found the staff/customer service to be first class.

Martin Randall provided an excellent, seemless service. We saw all the relevant historical and cultural sites and had them explained to us by experts. We got to taste a wide variety of local foods.
