Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

Martin Randall Festivals' Bach Journey. One (very busy) week starting in Frankfurt and ending in Berlin taking in multiple locations important in the life of J,S. Bach.

Very well organised. Not a cheap holiday, but very good value nonetheless.

It was a journey in the footsteps of the composer JS Bach through the places where he lived and worked in little known Thuringia in North Germany. The countryside was beautiful, the transport comfortable, the hotels and meals perfectly hospitable and appetizing but the greatest delight was the concerts we heard in wonderful venues . The musicians were of world class and there were hours of sublime performance for which we had been well prepared by talks from an eminent musicologist.

Attention had been paid to every imaginable detail so that participants would be well prepared and confident from beginning to end. A team of expert young people guided us discreetly, tactfully and efficiently through every part of the journey, coming into their own at the end when a BA cancelation could have spoiled the last day and left a sour taste. Instead, through energetic re planning and imaginative improvisation they managed to turn a misfortune into a pleasure for us all.

Walking to Santiago de Compostela over 11 days was an experience that unfolded gently and very satisfyingly. We were led by two experts who were considerate and astute, tuned in to the needs of their clients. There was no sense of being on a cookie cutter experience.

Martin Randall are true pros. They get the details right and the tone and standards of their planning sets them apart.

We visited a variety of beautiful chateaux of the Loire valley whilst based in a splendid former chateau - now hotel - in Charge. The visits included time for the gardens, time to recover and time to enjoy delicious evening meals and wine.

Martin Randell is an extremely good tour operator which has (again) provided an excellent holiday. The lecturer was first class and the accommodation was also excellent.

W enjoyed an expertly-led and comfortable tour over a week with 9 outstanding concerts in 5 days. Excellent and expert commentary from Sir Nicholas Kenyon.

A group tour that took us to the places where Bach had worked and where we heard his music played by musicians of the very highest calibre.

An enormous amount of work had clearly gone into the preparation of this tour with a booklet describing in detail the schedule together with essays on the you places we were visiting and the music we would be hearing. The overall organisation was absolutely seamless and supervised by charming and intelligent staff. To describe the whole experience as excellent is not high enough praise
