Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

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.

Martin Randall Travel,Early Railways, the North. A well-planned study of railway history.

Martin Randall Travel organise superb tours.

It was well run, full of information, we stayed at good quality hotels, had an excellent lecturer and saw some great works and visited many private homes to see this architect's famous works.

I have travelled many times with MRT and rate them very highly. The expert lecturer and the tour administrator were with us on all of the formal trips. We also had spare time to do our own visits and walks.

A 1 day tour of London looking at 28 works by Hogarth in iconic muesems, a truly immersive experience which was well managed, planned and executed.

Attention to detail is phenomenal, timings managed well, and our Tour Scholar was very charming and thoroughly knowledgeable about his subject.

Very Efficient and informative

Efficient and friendly

I went on a trip to Germany following the footsteps of JS Bach, and hearing some of his most sublime music. 2 days later I was in Uzbekistan following the legendary Silk Road. Both tours were organized by Martin Randall and were quite inspirational, aided by erudite lecturers and most efficient tour organizers. I certainly wish to do more tours with Martin Randall

All aspects of the tours are dealt with efficiently and courteously.

We went on MRT's Bach Journey ME 520 and could not fault the experience. The concert venues, the performers and the towns visited gave us an excellent understanding of how and where Bach lived and worked.

MRT were very efficient in the booking process. The tour guides were efficient and friendly throughout the holiday.

We followed the footsteps of Johann Sebastian Bach through the towns of Thuringia where he lived and worked, accompanied by his music. The itinerary was out of the ordinary, with Weimar and its cultural past a true gem, and Eisenach and its connections with Luther a revelation, on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. We heard performances of Bach's major works, including the two Passions, the B Minor Mass and the Goldberg Variations, plus a selection of choral, orchestral, organ and solo violin music at venues known to Bach, with an authoritative but light and humorous commentary by an expert lecturer. A mix of top-flight European and UK performers provided an illuminating contrast of style. The enjoyment of the music and history was made congenial by comfortable hotels, excellent meals, especially breakfasts, and impeccable transport arrangements. DIscreet and friendly tour managers and guides kept us together and moving smoothly throughout a most enjoyable six days.

Helpful, discreet and always available.
