Martin Randall Travel is a class act. Their administration is second to none. Every little detail is taken care of. I have not travelled with another operator in a long time.

This was a superb trip, with extraordinary musical performances in historic venues.

Martin Randall Travel delivers superior experiences. This was our eighth Martin Randall trip, and each has been superbly and meticulously organized. The trips that feature musical performances are utterly unique, with concerts arranged by Martin Randall Travel in stunningly beautiful and historic settings. We feel privileged to be able to participate in these extraordinary travel experiences.

Well organised and enjoyable.

We attended the Handel festival in Halle with a range of concerts, Operas and Oratorios, mostly evening performances. Daytimes were filled with bus trips to relevant nearby locations touching upon Handels life and work and a glimpse into JS Bach's life and work.

well planned, managed and instructive ---lectures were superb and sites well researched

I am widow of 75, nervous of travelling for the first time on my own and I had spent many hours wondering if I would be included with everyone else on this trip. It was not the slightest problem: not only was it a riveting time for me but I was with other like minded people, not closed and interested only in exchanging views with their travelling companions, but both socially and intellectually open. I was seduced into this period of history ...

I am widow of 75, nervous of travelling for the first time on my own and I had spent many hours wondering if I would be included with everyone else on this trip. It was not the slightest problem: not only was it a riveting time for me but I was with other like minded people, not closed and interested only in exchanging views with their travelling companions, but both socially and intellectually open. I was seduced into this period of history [of which I was ignorant] with lectures, excellent hotels, food and scenery. Instead of having to travel miles to find like minded people, as if by magic, they were all there in the coach with me! I know these holidays are by their very nature, expensive but instead of thinking about buying a new car, installing a new kitchen or whatever ---get out there with Martin Randall into the world and be excited by all it has to offer. Think of it as continuing education which you need and which you can rarely find.

Rating for tour operator:

Wonderful brochure, lots of information given and details of the sites we were to visit. There was a comprehensive reading list provided as well. I was met at the airport, accompanied on the plane and at no time did I feel left alone. The manager who accompanied us made us all feel welcome and included. There was little free time [many tours such as this have long periods'] which meant I was fully engaged with the tour and at no point felt left out. For some single travellers this 'socialising' is an important issue. It was especially important to someone like myself who was recently widowed to know that I can still travel and have a wonderful time amongst others, without having to worry about eating on my own, finding my way around or getting to cover as much as I could. I now have the confidence to experiment with more tours and I cannot thank Martin Randall enough for giving me this very special time to find I still had interests, could still socialise and enjoy myself. This tour operator is sensitive to so many of our needs.

Dear Mrs McQuillan,

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had such a good experience on Classical Greece and that travelling with us has allowed you to meet like-minded people; this social aspect, alongside the academic interest of our itineraries, is central to our tours.

We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

With best wishes,

Buddhist Art with a little bit of Modern

Too rushed. Not enough background ilectures. Group was very nice.

The tour manager was great. Martin Randall chose restaurants that were not very good. The Japanese food in Washington DC is much better.

The Dresden Festspiele

There were fourteen people in the group, nine of whom were Australian. Each day we visited museums and each evening attended concerts. The hotel was centrally situated so we were able to walk to most of the attractions. We had two lectures that were very interesting and often amusing. The people mixed well and the group was very compatible. The organisation was impeccable and everything ran very smoothly.

The tour manager was a very pleasant young woman who was always calm and coped with all situations. She spoke German fluently. Martin Randall organised the tour expertly and there were no hitches.

Memorable and culturally challenging.

Culturally and culinarily 'perfect' but jet-lag is now taking its toll! Business class next time!

For many years I have enjoyed being a Martin Randall 'armchair' traveller as a result their visually-inviting brochures so as I have wanted to visit Japan since my student-days, the Art in Japan itinerary ideally satisfied my requirements.
