Wonderful chamber music festival, in extraordinary setting---Norway, above Artic Circle

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.

Excellent trip to Berlin looking at new architecture

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 ...

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.

Something new every day!

A week in Vienna charting the rise and influence of the Habsburg dynasty in particular through the architecture, museum exhibits and art collections in the city. An excellent and varied programme shared with a small team of fellow adventurers!

Martin Randall tour of English Cathedrals was Cracking Good

We visited 10 cathedrals around the English countryside in 9 days. The lecturers did an excellent job of comparing and contrasting the buildings. There were lots of extra goodies such as organ recitals, and the lodging and food selections were excellent.

Martin Randall does a wonderful job of matching lecturers to content. The destinations were well chosen. The logistics were handled well. I really appreciated their "no tipping" policy.

Martin Randall picks superb hotels, excellent musicians, encourages the musicians to mingle with the guests, does not expect one person to be both efficient tour manager and knowledgable lecturer.
