Short but very enjoyable tour of Flemish Painting

Short tour in Belgium, based in Ghent but visiting, Antwerp, Bruges and Brussels. Comfortable hotel, engaging lecturer, effective tour manager, interesting companions and good food all added up to a lovely trip

Fascinating and entertaining Berlin

From the Nordic Embassy complex to the Berliner Philharmonic to the Chapel of Reconciiation to the DZ Bank Building (inside is amazing) to mention just a few locations this was a well paced tour. Tom Abbot is an excellent lecturer. Our Tour Manager Fiona was lovely and ensured the tour ran smoothly. If there were any glitches we did not see them! The Regent Hotel is a very comfortable hotel and the included dinners were in good restaurants...

Wonderful inspiring and well organised

We were in Lincoln for 5 days for the 400th anniversary of William Byrd’s death - “The Master of Music”…. He was employed in the Royal Court and cathedrals from Henry VIII through to James 1 reign, writing music sung in large churches or in small clandestine churches - Catholic masses. The holiday was so well organised, it wa relaxed, nothing was too much trouble; the transport always worked - the instructions and help relevant; the programme ...

The holiday was so well organised, it wa relaxed, nothing was too much trouble; the transport always worked - the instructions and help relevant; the programme notes authoritative and knowledgable. The whole trip was so well researched and put together, music sung by excellent internationally renowned consorts (and consorts of viols ) in the relevant period churches round about Lincoln. The accommodation and food was excellent - i could not fault it. Most importantly, the music was sublime - the venues had excellent accoustics, and the whole experience was superb.

Martin Randall himself had clearly been close to the organisation of this tour from it’s inception, and he was with us throughout marvelling in the music and the places we visited for the concerts. There is a clear ethos which covers all bases, and all staff had a smile, and a yes can do attitude…

A music festival of choral concerts celebrating the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd

Based in Lincoln, this was a series of concerts of music primarily by Byrd and his contemporaries performed by various choral and other groups in a variety of venues connected with Byrd.

We have travelled with Martin Randall Travel many times before and this tour fully lived up to the high standards we have seen previously. It was well thought out and well organised.

A unique and memorable experience

'Celebrating William Byrd' drew together some of the finest choirs in the field and gave them the opportunity to perform in magnificent churches. The combination of the music, the appropriate locations and the superb quality of the performances, all related to a significant anniversary, made it a memorable and unrepeatable experience.

This was a unique and imaginative programme, brilliantly organised so that the complexities of travel and timing passed by smoothly. There was always a member of staff on hand to advise and direct discreetly.

Met my expectations for interest and knowledge.

West Country Churches combined visits to great cathedrals and churches hidden away in the countryside. Would have been difficult or impossible to organise for oneself.
