Excellent itinery, accompanied by efficient and professional tour manager and lecturer

Quality accomodation and selection of quality restaurants. Accompanying lecturer and tour manager looked after the group well(especially appropriate for single travellers. Their efforts to change times and days of visits when unusual and inclement weather occured were much appreciated and meant that non of the planned sites were missed.

Rating for tour operator:

Attention to detail, consideratiojn for single travellers. Access to less well known and sometimes private sites. Inclusion of 'extras' eg tips, maps of towns or sites etc. the use of specialist lecturers.

Informative and enjoyable

A day combining railway history, social history and architecture, with the opportunity to see parts of the three London Termini, Paddington, King's Cross and St Pancras, that are not always open to individuals. Expert guides informed us in a friendly and entertaining fashion about the architecture and social mores behind the buildings while allowing us to enjoy them without being rushed.

It was not a holiday.

We spent 3 days listening to wonderful music at the Castle Hotel in Taunton.

Venetian Palaces, with Martin Randall, March 2018

It focused on visiting a mix of private palaces still owned by descendants of original Venetian families and other palaces which are now public buildings. A very special private evening tour of San Marco was also included. My husband and I agree that we thought the trip was just perfect. We stayed at the Hotel Sant' Angelo, a 4 Star hotel on the Grand Canal, ate in a variety of lovely restaurants, visited homes we are certain we'd never see ...

A very special private evening tour of San Marco was also included. My husband and I agree that we thought the trip was just perfect. We stayed at the Hotel Sant' Angelo, a 4 Star hotel on the Grand Canal, ate in a variety of lovely restaurants, visited homes we are certain we'd never see without Martin Randall,and had the services of a really professional lecturer and tour manager as well as local guides . Everything was well run, organized, and fun, too! When we had finished the tour, Ken and I had a new appreciation for not only the buildings but also their functions and how those functions determined their floor plans. We've seen the English Cathedrals with Martin Randall and are really looking forward to our next in-depth tour with them in Florence.

Rating for tour operator:

Martin Randall Tours are very well run and professional in every detail. My husband and I like the focus on a particular theme, whether it be art, architecture, music or history. We particularly like their tours that focus on a particular theme in one city, such as our Venice tour. No packing or unpacking every few days. Our time was spent on visiting Venice and its Palaces, not on long bus rides between destinations. The groups are small and have been, for us two Americans, very welcoming.
