Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

Walking in beautiful and varied countryside, visiting historic mediaeval towns, churches and museums,wine tasting, staying in very good hotels, being with an interesting and varied group of sociable people.

This was our fourth Martin Randall tour. All of them have been outstanding and this one was no exception.

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

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.

Three operas at the Verona Areana. Unfortunately one was rain affected. Nabucco setin the unification of Italy scenario was both interesting and ecellent

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.

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

Martin Randall has the best informed leaders and guides I've ever encountered, and the accommodations are usually the best available and the food and drink of high quality anf generosity.

first time on an organised group holiday. Intellectually stimulating, excellent food and accommodation, with good company. Certainly learnt an awful lot!

Helpful and friendly from MR in Australia. Lecturer was both easy to listen to; informative with sense of humour. Tour manager equally approachable.

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.

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.

Well- organised, full of very interesting visits

Pays great attention to detail and very attentive to needs of participants.

Excellent. Attends to every detail.

The tour was to Ravenna and Urbino, and finishing in Rimini. It was beautifully planned and we saw as much as we could, without being too tired.

Martin Randall always does a good tour, but this one was particularly well-planned with an excellent lecturer, Dr. Luca Leonine who is an expert both in knowledge and presentation. His assistant tour guide, Elaine, was a perfect assistant for him and very helpful to us.

A tour through Aragon in Spain.

This was our fifth holiday with Martin Randal. They consistently provide a professional and excellent service.
