Martin Randall, specialists in music and art holidays

We visited classical site in south west and southern Turkey in late March 2022. Great food (some terrific fish, best calamari ever) and old own hotel locations. Our lecturer, Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, has an extraordinary and accessible fund of knowledge about the ancient world. The tour manager and local guide both excellent - I was really impressed when they retrieved my essential walking stick which I had left at a site, loaning me a replacement in the mean time. And I've never felt safer than with the coach driver on this trip.

I've been travelling with Martin Randall Travel for many years. The tours are for small groups, which I like. Administration is meticulous, everyone involved is always at the top of their game and lovely people, and they really sort problems out. My last trip with them involved being brought home (part through the trip) from Cambodia as Covid hit - superb organisation.

We had an excellent selection of music played superbly, in a good location and very comfortable hotel. All was organised to a very high level

Every detail is thought of and catered for. Have used them in the past and will travel with them in the future

Basically what the title says. A superb range of different art periods and of such quality art. In addition we were so well looked after absolutely superb. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. I so enjoyed, what a memory.

Excellent tour operator. Certainly the best I’ve travelled with. You are a real person and treated as such. Throughout Covid they considered the people booked with them and endeavoured to do the best, they certainly succeeded.

Four concerts of well-performed string quartets and one string quintet, well chosen for their diversity, interest and 'enjoy ability in the relaxed surroundings of the Castle Hotel, Taunton. Comfortable rooms, excellent food and good like-minded company.

Totally efficient, and very warm in their dealings with us.

Lecturer expert in Renaissance and Baroque art led the group in viewing and discussing a variety of period masterpieces, some not usually accessible to the public. The discussions helped us see Renaissance and Baroque Rome with a new understanding of its context and of its development and denouement.

Martin Randall Travel not only opens doors to sites, it arranges for exceptional meals and wine. Our lecturer was expert in Roman art, and the tour manager fluent in Italian and expert in Roman food and wine. All arrangements were carefully planned, and unexpected contingencies gracefully managed. In my experience, the companions we meet on Martin Randall tours are intelligent, engaged, and experienced travellers, so conversations are engaging, lively, and congenial. Recommend highly.

A full cultural visit to Rome with historical information back to Romulus and Remus. This came with an enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable lecturer and incredibly efficient manager. What a treat. It was perfect.

Thoroughly efficient and aiming for the highest standard.

MRT hosted a music festival with the Elias String Quartet at the Castle Hotel, Taunton, with Richard Wigmore as speaker. Musically, it was a wonderful experience. The Elias performances were thrilling and wonderfully interpreted. Lectures given by Richard full of insight into understanding the compositions. The ambience at The Castle Hotel made the occasion perfect. Excellent accommodation and menu selection. High standards in every aspect of this holiday.

MRT is known for its breadth and quality of holiday offerings. The astonishing commitment to detail and maintaining high standards are the hallmark of this exceptional tour operator. It has been an absolute pleasure to have been on tours organised by MRT.
