Great St Petersburg Tour

Outstanding lecturer and guide with a well-planned itinerary to help us see and understand the history and architecture of St Petersburg's lovely palaces, art museums, churches, bridges, canals, libraries, and many other buildings important in the history of St Petersburg and its surroundings.

Martin Randall was always helpful, quick to respond to questions, while paying careful attention to the quality of the lecturers, guides, itinerary, hotel and food, and on top of all this they provide an excellent reading list for those who want to understand more about the places.

Lovely people, dangerous footing in gardens adn strenuous walking, disappointing hotel, wonderful food

The hotel was linked to a visit to a private garden owned by the proprietor's pareents. It was certainly not upto thedelix standards of a hotel on the Riviera.

Martin Randall is among the most highly-regarded in the business. They attract a lovely and sensitive group of travellers-- mostly kUK, which is refreshing. However, they were in the wrong place tomeet us at Heathrow and we were nail-biting, finally checking into the flight on our on.

A privileged journey through Louisiana, USA

Beautifully organised, the outstanding feature of this holiday was the quality of the lecturer. Louis Nelson is a Professor of Architecture at the University of Virginia, but his expertise spreads far wider than how to read houses. We were privileged. and then there was the choice of accommodation: separate B & B houses in historic and little visited Natchitoches was inspired. The journey was a revelation that I long to repeat.

Martin Randall Travel do not leave any detail unchallenged. From the moment one books a holiday with them to the moment one returns, all is calm and friendly. and they don't "mollycoddle" us. They treat us as intelligent adults and this is so valuable.

Gardens of the Veneto

This holiday offered an excellent opportunity to see some rare and beautiful gardens which I would have found it difficult to see on my own. We had the services of a charismatic lecturer with a background in garden design who did her best to make sure everyone had an enjoyable time.

Martin Randall is a very high-quality tour operator. It is not the cheapest but one pays for the knowledge, experience, and attention to fine detail. I've rated it 'good' rather than 'excellent' on this occasion because as we were a small group we had only a lecturer and not the usual additional tour manager and I think a tour manager would have been useful in ironing out a few minor wrinkles.

Very good, met all my expectations.

The Villas & Gardens of Campagna Romana,. This tour looked at the gardens round Rome, giving a history of the owners and the gardens. It met all my expectations and more. The hotels and all meals were of a high standard. The bus was clean and comfortable. The tour manager looked after everyone, ensuring we had ample time in each garden.

the word excellent can be applied to every part of this tour

Hotels well appointed and central to towns.Excursions great fun and itinerary well planned;informative and moments to relax. The tour lecturers were highly knowledgeable and always ready to fully engage in discussions and anticipate questions. Although a mixed group of singles and couples from several different countries the atmosphere was friendly and inclusive. Local guides were both knowledgable and articulate.
