Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

We travelled across upper Austria by riverboat, stopping off at the places where the music was first composed - and heard. and every day we heard first class lectures on both the history of the place and the music we were to hear that day.

Martin Randall Travel are simply the very best cultural tour operator - worldwide.

Music Along the Danube. Concerts given by musicians of the highest calibre which took place in historic buildings many of which were associated with the music performed in them. Stayed in both Vienna and in Durnstein in beautiful hotels with city tours and/or daily walks along the Danube. Daily lectures given by eminent lecturers who were excellent communicators.

Martin Randall Travel. Really excellent company. Expert lecturers and highly competent tour managers and carefully thought- through schedules make for an excellent experience.

The combination of Wittelsbach treasures, Bavarian cuisine, and the excellence of the Munich Opera were unforgettable. The spectacular lakeside setting and technical wizardry of Rigoletto on the Bodensee created images and memories that will last a lifetime. Our lecturer, Patrick Bade brought his expertise and passion to our tour. The operas came alive through his passionate morning presentations. They were rich in musical snips, lovely visual powerpoints and filled with his wonderful sense of humor. Mr Bade's knowledge of art and period pieces of furniture made every excursion a unique opportunity for the enrichment of our minds. Patrick's wealth of knowledge, expertise in opera, art and history were accompanied by his warmth and charming personality.

Our highly professional and organized Johanna Beise made the trip extremely pleasurable. She was always ready to give us organized and precise instructions. Her kindness and attention to detail provided us with an anxiety free holiday. An excellent communicator and a genuine caring person.

Our group of 22 flew to the Lofoten Islands, of northern Norway, for a 6-day chamber music festival. The setting was incredible; the Lofoten Islands are a mountain range that rises directly from the sea. Each conert was held in the church of a series of fishing villages, scattered among the islands. Quality of musicianship was first class. Martin Randall's leader and lecturer were superb. Wish I could do it all again tomorrow.

Martin Randall travel has been our choice for several years, for music and cultural trips. Each vacation is well managed, and the quality of experience is absolutely first class.

Very, very interesting tour due to extraordinary lecturer whose depth of knowledge, sense of time and place, and wonderful sense of humor made for a fantastic tour.

Everything well planned and truly first class.

As usual with Martin Randall Tours well well planned with no hiccups, excellent lecturer with very extensive knowledge, excellent tour manager for whom nothing was too much trouble, excellent hotel and an excellent time.

Perfect in every way

We spent 5 days in Berlin in an excellent hotel, centrally located. Our tour leader was a very knowledgeable and erudite man who was a kind and agreeable travelling companion. The tour manager was a quietly competent lady who made sure everything ran smoothly. The programme looked at new architecture in Berlin concentrating mainly on the 21st century but including significant buildings in the last half of the 20th century. All this was done in the context of Berlin remembering its past while embarrassing the new. We visited many buildings by special appointment. We travelled around partly by coach and partly on foot. It was a very full programme.

Martin Randall Travel is an excellent tour operator. The brochures are superbly written and clear. We live in Australia and there is a MR office in Queensland so we are able to phone with any queries, during our time zone. Email communication is clear and everything is made easy while treating the clients as sensible human beings. The tour lecturers are all highly knowledgeable in their area and personable people, while the tour managers are very efficient. We have travelled with MR at least a dozen times.

Based in Chichester, the tour was well planned and most enjoyable.

Thoughtful, efficient and knowledgeable
