Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

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.

As the brochure states, this was an 'experience of Prague like no other'. Not only did we see the well-known sights, but we also went behind the scenes of some beautiful and interesting buildings with our excellent guides. I learnt a lot about Czech history and culture that I did not know before, and enjoyed the luxury of staying at the wonderful Hotel Pariz. Everything was seamlessly planned and we had a little free time to explore, too.

Martin Randall Travel clearly takes great care in planning and organising tours. The brochures are wonderful to read and one is tempted by every holiday. Their attention to detail, as well as the choice of destination, lecturers and guides, is much appreciated.

Martin Randall always delivers a faultless tour with experienced caring tour managers. The lecturers are always the absolute best

Martin Randall

Guided tour with Gordon Corrigan as the lecturer who was excellent.

Martin Randall organised everything.

Outstanding set of lectures and accompanying battlefield visits

well organized

A small group of us enjoyed four full days of private concerts on a carefully chosen range of organs of Bach's time. Both the organist who travelled with us and the local cultural tour leader/lecturer were outstanding.

All inclusive, small group, expert-led, cultural and gastronomical tours.

Superbly organised and led, we had a wonderful and very stimulating time visiting sites connected to the Renaissance courts of northern Italy, seeing a wide variety of artwork and buildings. Our lecturer was magnificent, and the tour guide kept everything-- arrivals, departures, meals, hotels--running like clockwork

Efficient and imaginative

It was a specialist holiday, called The Bach Journey, and the title says it all.

Always prompt and courteous in all dealings.
