Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

It was well organised with excellent educational content. We had a full itinerary and saw properties we would not otherwise have seen. It was the first such tour we had been on but would now be happy to do another

Martin Randall were very well organised and entry to many villas in private and public ownership was arranged, the coach service was punctual clean and with a good driver who did not sway the coach and cause any sickness . The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the administrator was both very pleasant and well organised in keeping us to programme so it did not feel like a school trip.

This was a study tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum led by Dr. Nigel Spivey for Martin Randall. It was an incredible week!! The weather was fabulous which was really icing on the cake. We visited Paestum, Cumae, the theatre of Pozzuoli, a fabulous museum at Bacoli, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, and the National Museum at Naples where our lecturer made arrangements for the Numismatics to be opened for us. Each morning, Dr. Spivey treated us to interesting and engaging lectures before we visited the sites. He added insights and information as we made our way through the sites. He was an engaging lecturer and a wonderful tour leader who got to know our names immediately, looked out for our well being, entertained us at dinner and treated us as though we were one of the family! How often is a tour led by a Classicist of his calibre!! I will very happily go on any tour led by Dr. Spivey!!

This is the second tour I have taken with Martin Randall and it is clear that he overlooks nothing to endure a trip of the very highest quality. Participants never have to worry about anything because he anticipates every difficulty and plans for all contingencies! For this tour, he secured Dr. Nigel Spivey, an extraordinary lecturer, and a noted Classicist from Cambridge who elevated this from a tour to an exceptional learning opportunity for us all. It is clear Martin Randall sets the industry standard for a quality tour!

This was a holiday I have being wanting to do for thirty years. I finally managed to arrange to do it with my wife last year. Martin Randall were clearly offering the best trip and they were superb.

Martin Randall were excellent at all stages of the tour from booking through to travel to running the tour. My wife is wary of organised tours but she really enjoyed this one.

It concentrated on the World Heritage aspects of Malta, from 3500 BC to the second world war. The Martin Randall team were expert, friendly and efficient.

Martin Randall thinks of everything and always provides a good mix of intellectual stimulus and social life. They are extremely efficient but very human.

Dresden, Potsdam and Berlin. Extremely interesting. I did not know what a significant player Saxony was on the Central European scheme of things.

Martin Randall's organisation is excellent- nothing is left out

On this trip we firstly received care and our needs were anticipated. the guides were more than informed , rather immersed in a wide range of areas about St petersburg. art in particular and architecture combined with history. yummy

We have used Martin Randall on two occasions. Both times we have found their service absolutely professional. Their home based personnel are knowledgeble and helpful. Their guides are well organised and experts with a wealth of knowledge about the subjects they are presenting.

Verdi in Parma and Busetto; two operas in diverse opera houses (one grand and well-known, the other tiny and enchanting). Our days were otherwise spent visiting places associated with Verdi and looking at the art of Correggio and Parmigianino in the company of a revered opera specialist and an inspiring art historian. What better way could there be to spend a very full four days? I feel satisfied and enthused by all I did and saw.

I found Martin Randall by chance on the internet as I wanted to go to Verdi operas in Parma and visit sites associated with Verdi.

Excellent quality of the music and the performers.

Excellent arrangements both of the hotels and performers/performances

Walking to Santiago was an ambition I have had for some time. The MRT tour was well planned and not too taxing. THe route is well marked and many of the lesser parts of the Camino way were bypassed. The lecturer held our attention; she was extremely well informed and was able to pitch her presentation to the group. More detailed questions were answered with aplomb.

MRT is an excellent company. The tour met my expectations . It was well planned, the lecturer was excellent with a comprehensive knowledge and an ability to express her thoughts clearly and in a manner which held ones interest.
