Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

A day's tour, on foot, of the Square Mile of the City of London, and, wow, what an experience this was. Professor Peter Rees, ex-City Planning Officer for the City, is a wonderful, entertaining and insightful guide to take you on this journey. From Saint Paul's to the Walkie Talkie Sky Bar, you are led through the buzzing heart of the City, and shown the rich mix of the City's architecture, from the traditional to the ultra-modern - to the sites of reconstruction and new construction. Refreshments along the way, starting at the Madison roof restaurant, lunching at the Dickensian George and Vulture and ending the day with cocktails in the Sky Bar, it is a fantastic way to spend a day in London.

Martin Randall is an excellent tour operator. I have previously enjoyed a walking holiday in Italy and took the tour I write about above on 10th April. They are efficiently, smoothly and discreetly operated tours which avoid making one feel part of a herded group. Expert tour guides and managers at all times. Martin Randall himself is very hands on and I think this is part of the success. I was also treated to a wonderful free lunch at Bocca di Lupo - yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch ! - and this is clearly another feature of their clever marketing policy at Martin Randall. Well, it works, as I fully intend to book another Italian holiday with them next year.

Everything was extremely well-planned. The accommodation was excellent and well situated. The programme well thought out, and we had good seats. The lecturer so interesting and very approachable. The museums interesting and varied and we had a brilliant local guide. There was also free time. I can't fault the trip. The Martin Randall tour leader was first class. A trip to remember.

Five star service in all areas. I have only praise.

A cultural tour to the main Minoan archaeological sites and museums of Crete with an opportunity to experience Cretan food and culture across the island. This trip provided input from an academic expert in Minoan archaeology, a local Cretan guide and a tour manager allowing the opportunity to travel to three centres across the island and learn from the experts in a seamless tour, expertly delivered.

Martin Randall Travel provide specialist tours across Europe and beyond. Their organisation and attention to detail in respect of every aspect of the tour - including travel, transfers, hotels, meals, visits to sites of interest and provision of expert lecturers and guides is outstanding.

Well organised. A full and varied itinerary. Four excellent musical experiences.

Offers a huge variety of trips. Well planned. Good food and hotels. Excellent lecturers.

Excellent planned tour of Norman architecture in Southern Italy with well-qualified lecturer.

Excellent planning. All days were well-researched. Extra gems were added that were off-itinerary bonuses

Very enjoyable

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.
