Martin Randall Travels
Having taken a number of trips with MRT, I have always found them to be of a consistently high level - very good standard of hotels, well organised trips and excursions coupled with very knowledgeable art historians. Usually a good mix of fellew travellers.

Fascinating week in a less known part of Italy
Our week based in Trieste explored the region of Italy that prospered for centuries under the Hapsburg empire and included visits to neighbouring Croatia and Slovenia. As always with Martin Randall Travel our tour was curated by knowledgeable leaders well versed in the history of that region. We were based in an excellent hotel and all meals and wines were carefully chosen to reflect the culinary excellence of the region.

This was our third Martin Randall trip and we have another booked. They provide excellence in all departments, from their helpful office staff to their tour manager and expert lecturers who accompany the tour. Nothing is too much trouble and the size of their group is manageable at about 20 participants.




Medieval Toulouse and Languedoc
Medicval towns, museums, abbeys and churches, stunning scenery and expert commentary.

Martin Randall Travel looked after us very well indeed. Beautiful hotel, dinner in excellent local restaurants, time to do a little exploring and to soak up the atmosphere of the towns and villages we visited, including some off the beaten track. If any problems arose - bad weather on one day - they were dealt with immediately, and the tour manager and expert guides were delightful.




Wonderful river cruise
A cruise up the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel with conerts every day in wonderful buildings

Everything Martin Randall plan works well and the staff on board were charming and brilliant




Since the pandemic I have enjoyed approximately 20 tours with MRT but the most recent was Castile and Leon, secure travel, well planned and interesting itinerary, expert commentary, some iconic hotels and all accommodation and included lunches and
The tour covered the main places of historic and artistic interest in the autonomous region of Castile and Leon. It covered places which are well visited by tourists but also those little known, sometimes not easily accessible which are also jewels. We enjoyed a very high standard of accommodation, food and transport in very convivial company with an excellent commentary not only about the history, art and architecture but about Spain today ...

Booking is easy and customer services very helpful, contact is always prompt and with an individual. Tour arrangements are always clear, transport, hotels, visits are well planned. In every tour I have enjoyed, there has never been any problem with timings and logistics. The price of the tour is fixed and what is included is transparent. In my experience and I have travelled widely, the cost of the tour represents excellent value for money. When on tour I have never felt part constrained by being part of a tour group, because tour managers are efficient but unobtrusive, experts tailor their commentary to the interests of the group and respond to their questions. The groups are small enough to get to know everyone and are always people who I have enjoyed meeting and with whom I have enjoyed a convivial dinner.




Walking tour in Umbria
A 10 day walking, food, art and culture tour in Italy in a group of 12 wonderful women and 3 exceptional guides.

Holidays - always with that special something
Martin Randall Travel (MRT) are the best because they provide their customers with carefully designed and tested itineraries. These often feature special access to people and sites which you would not be able to access as an independent traveler. The other factors which make for very special experiences are the guides whose knowledge and passion and ability to communicate them are second to none.

A cruise down the Rhine with classical music concerts every night
The cruise started in Amsterdam and I joined it with friends I had made during the previous week when we had been together looking at art in The Netherlands. The boat was superb and the meals all excellent. our tour guides were excellent and the lecturer, Dr Katy Hamilton was knowledgeable, engaging and fun. i have run out of superlatives to describe the holiday

Martin Randall leaves nothing to chance - everything is planned and of the highest quality, but there is always room for a little indivuality as well.
