Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

A week luxuriating at a comfortable Victorian house hotel on the Duke of Roxburghe's estate, visiting stately homes and eating delicious meals. The sun shone every day. What's not to love?

This Martin Randall tour delivered everything that the brochure promised! Excellent lecturer, tour manager, bus driver; lovely hotel; delicious meals; great stately home visits.

Previous customer-further excellent experience and we hope to travel next year to the Venice Festival of Monteverdi's music

It was excellent: very well-organised, very interesting, a good mix of subject matter, care taken to mix effort and rest.

I have travelled with MRT many times. Every time I am impressed with their attention to detail in all areas. The lecturers are first class and the organisation is spot on. I have every confidence that should something go wrong, they will take steps to deal with it and minimize the problem.

Many fascinating experiences especially visits to Jerash, Petra and the Dead Sea. Excellent, knowledgeable guide.

Martin Randall has very efficient and helpful administration. Tour well planned.

A truly fascinating week exploring the treasures of ancient and early Islamic art and architecture in Jordan. A very full itinerary but not too tiring. An extremely well-informed and well-organised tour leader.

Well organised. No problems. The tour lived up to the brochure promises.

It was beyond my expectations. Our lecturer was great - knowledgeable, passionate about the art, tireless, kind and possessing a marvelous sense of humor. I saw things I would never have seen on my own. This was not my first trip to Rome, but this is the first time I really understood what a magical place it is. I want to see it again and again. The whole trip was perfect, from the hotel to the meals to every site we visited.

Dr. Michael Douglas-Scott was so knowledgeable and passionate about the art that it was contagious! I could not even imagine a better guide. I feel very lucky to have been on that tour.

These musical holidays are always a delight - and we speak from experience over 12 years. Wonderful hotels, great food, beautiful music played by top professionals and a experienced lecturer in residence. We have looked at brochures from other companies but we always use MRT.

Highly efficient administration by very capable, intelligent staff who make sure that all the details are in place.

Our Martin Randall tour through Jordan was superb. Our two Martin Randall guides, Sue and Jane, were incredibly knowledgeable, and were able to communicate with our tour group very effectively. Our tour was also accompanied by a very helpful and humorous Jordanian guide who was a delight to travel with. The choice of hotels was truly luxurious, and our tour bus was very comfortable. My partner and I came away from our week in Jordan with not only a good understanding of the complex history of that country, but also with an appreciation of the Jordanian people and their contemporary society. Martin Randall gave us an outstanding experience that we could not have duplicated on our own, and we will definitely travel with them again.

The guides provided were exceptionally well educated, and personable as well. The logistics of the tour were flawless with no apparent issues, and our guides even arranged transportation for us to our next destination in Israel were we traveled on our own. Martin Randall has their act together as a first rate tour operator.

Sicily is a large island but Martin Randall fit in all the highlights within twelve days. One sees a wealth of Greek and Roman temples, theatres and mosaics as well as the main cities. Taormina is a particularly charming base for three nights in a delightful hotel.

We are just returned from a Martin Randall trip to Sicily and have traveled with them to various destinations in Europe. Once you have experienced their tours you will not want to travel with anyone else. They are not inexpensive but do find the best hotels, lecturers and tour managers that there are. The itineraries are meticulously thought out and fine-tuned at the last minute if necessary. They select the best sites to ensure that you get the most out of the available time, with always some free time included.

We cruised on the Rhone between Lyon and Avignon, stopping at frequent intervals for guided visits to interesting local sites and buildings and to daily concerts to hear music in authentic surroundings.

Full marks! Highly efficient organisation, well planned daily activities, staff invariably friendly, courteous and competant, excellent food, comfortable travel. A REAL holiday.
