The expectations of the itinerary were exceeded by the actual holiday, as we were treated to such special and privileged access to many of the sites we visited. It was a stimulating and exciting experience. We were in the hands of a superb team of lecturer, tour guide and local guide. Their knowledge and expertise were remarkable. This will be a tour I shall remember for a long time. And it was huge fun.

Martin Randall Travel is run with great care and precision. This recent experience could not have been improved upon from start to finish. Their programmes are very enticing and imaginative.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Martin Randall is the best.

I just retired from teaching art and Spanish in the New York City public schools. I used to travel by myself but at this stage of my life I cannot arrange the visit of ten sites in fifteen days. The trip was a gift to myself to celebrate my education and career. The hotels and pools were beautiful.

This is my second Martin Randall tour. There is an overarching sense of civility and culture. I feel that I would be taken care of should I become sick, although I am in very good health! I plan a third trip w them in October.

We toured with a small group through Moorish Spain learning about the more important events of the period and the places where they occurred.

Very experienced in all aspe ts of his subject as well as having great knowledge of Spanish restaurants and food.

We saw all the key archaeological and historical sites which could have been fitted in within the time available, whilst having sufficient time at each to appreciate them. The academic input from a fully qualified professor from SOAS was a very important part of the experience, as was also the local input from a local Iranian guide who was extremely informative, and who answered patiently all our many questions about ancient and modern Iran. The time of year was most apt, as there were relatively few tourists at even the popular sites.

Martin Randall took immense trouble to provide comprehensive pre-tour information as well as useful notes and extensive input for the actual holiday itself, plus extensive contributions on the tour from a very well qualified British academic, and an extremely knowledgeable local guide who spoke excellent English, and who answered all questions fully. There was also invaluable hep with the difficult process of getting a visa. All the arrangements - hotel, travel, meals etc. went like clockwork. Excellent and magical holiday all round.
