The Heart of Italy tour

It was a wonderful week spent in Umbria visiting many hill towns and following partly in the footsteps of St Francis. We spent the entire time based in the beautiful hill town of Spello, radiating out each day, to a new destination. The history, views, local food and wines all combined to make it a very memorable week.

I have undertaken many Martin Randall tours and without exception they have all been excellent, from their office staff through to the tour itself, which is meticulously planned to the last detail. The participants are friendly and everything comes together to make it all a totally memorable experience.

The J S Bach Journey

It was basically a pilgrimage, following in the footsteps of this great composer, from his birthplace in Eisenach, through his travels around Thuringia, finally finishing in Leipzig where he spent around 25 years until his death, as Kantor at the wonderful St Thomas' church.

Modern Art on the Côte d'Azur by lorajo, 19 Oct 2017

Modern art galleries on the Cote 'Azur. Staying in Nice and visiting galleries by coach each day.

We stayed in Nice in a wonderful character hotel 'La Perouse' with sea views. A bedroom with a large balcony and great service throughout the hotel from friendly staff was perfect. Our Martin Randall Travel Lecturer and Tour Guide escorted the group by coach from Nice each day to different galleries to look at modern art collections.

We stayed in Nice in a wonderful character hotel 'La Perouse' with sea views. A bedroom with a large balcony and great service throughout the hotel from friendly staff was perfect. Our Martin Randall Travel Lecturer and Tour Guide escorted the group by coach from Nice each day to different galleries to look at modern art collections. We travelled as far as St. Tropez one day seeing lovey views of the coastline on our journey and other days to towns nearer to Nice e.g. Villefranche and Antibes to look at art and have a lovely lunch and drinks. The coastline is beautiful along the Cote d Azur with lots of boating activity etc to see and the weather was perfect. Interesting people to talk to over dinner in the evening about what we had seen during our daytime excursions. All the activities were arranged and organised by the tour company so that we just felt free to enjoy it all - and we did. It was a great special interest holiday with an art historian and a tour manager and people with a shared interest in art. It was a very enjoyable holiday experience arranged by Martin Randall Travel

Rating for tour operator:

MRT are experts at arranging special interest holidays about Art, Architecture , Archaeology and culture etc etc and combining it with good hotels, food and wine and socialising with likeminded people - what's not to like ? absolutely nothing.

Martin Randall Tours' organisation was excellent, as usual. The choice of hotel ecellent and the dinner venuses both excellent and with a good variaty. Only down side British Airways - they really are no better tham low cost airlines. But that is not MRT's fault. BA needs to lift it's game.

The Western Balkans by nwm, 18 Oct 2017

Informed and discriminating

This was a tour to the Western Balkans, an area of turbulent and ancient history. It could not have been more informative.

Walking in Southern Tuscany with Martin Randall

The holiday was a perfect combination of walking through beautiful Tuscan country side and looking at Tuscan art and architecture. Our guide's enthusiasm for her subject was infectious. The accommodation was in good quality hotels, the Relais in Radda reminiscent of a comfortable English country house, smelling of lavender and furniture polish, with wonderful views, and a swimming pool.

The holiday was a perfect combination of walking through beautiful Tuscan country side and looking at Tuscan art and architecture. Our guide's enthusiasm for her subject was infectious. The accommodation was in good quality hotels, the Relais in Radda reminiscent of a comfortable English country house, smelling of lavender and furniture polish, with wonderful views, and a swimming pool. After quite demanding walks we felt justified in enjoying delicious typical Tuscan cuisine.

Rating for tour operator:

Her enthusiasm for her subject was infectious, and her knowledge was deep. She had the gift of making history come alive. A bonus was that she read passages from famous authors relating to our visits and the countryside as we travelled in the coach.
