Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

St Petersburg is an astonishing city. So much history and culture. So much architecture. So much music, opera and ballet. Its also a beautiful place, with lots of parks and lovely buildings. And contrary to some reports, we found the people to be helpful and friendly. We always felt safe and welcome. The food is excellent if you go off the4 been track a little, away from the big hotels. We found a great little Strudel & Coffee place that also did excellent let lunches of local dishes at very good prices, for example. We loved St Petersburg.

Good organisation pre-tour, although a couple of minor hiccups with the website, and with an optional excursion. During the trip, organisation was faultless. And the lecturer and guide were wonderful, so knowledgable and enthusiastic. They added so much to the trip.

8 Day specialist musical cruise on the Danube with concerts ashore . Extremely well organised great food and wine commensurate with the quality of music and venues . Cultural tours of the cities visited was excellent along with the Music lecture aboard >highly reccomemended

Knows his business well ,had a very good team that uphold his values.

The music and performances were all superb and suited the venues so very well. The itinerary was exceptionally well chosen and the organisation of the whole festival was faultless.

I have travelled many times with Martin Randall Travel and have always found their tours and festivals extremely well organised and of deep cultural interest.

Accompanied by an art historian we had an architectural tour of the city including all the Roman sites and lunch at a beautiful villa outside the city. Also saw 3 operas: Turandot, Carmen and Aida - all of which were super

Martin Randall is a specialist art and music tour operator with a wealth of experience, brilliant contacts and very experienced staff and lecturers. I would highly recomnend them

The Festival of Music in Franconia combined a suitably varied and interesting program of chamber music, performed by excellent individual soloists and ensembles in stunning Medieval to Baroque settings. The event was suitably paced over a week, with all participants accommodated comfortably on the Ms Amadeus Royal as we progressed through the Southern Bavarian countryside. In our view the experience could only be improved by using a route with fewer locks. It also provided an opportunity to share a wonderful experience with like minded people.

The performance of the staff of Martin Randall Travel from first contact to the last moment of or trip was outstanding. The specialist lecturer and local guide were very engaging and of comparable in performance to the companies own staff.

Knowledgeable, interesting and friendly tour leader with back up from a member of the Randall team. Fascinating gardens, some not usually open. Easy pace with plenty of time to look around.

Their attention to detail is very thorough and it is really relaxing not to have to worry about tipping or food, the latter of which is always good, sometimes superb.Their staff are both interesting in themselves, always helpful and very well briefed. Tour leaders always expert, friendly and interesting, often entertaining.

A cruise up the Danube and into the Main Canal, stopping here and there for some fabulous concerts in lavish surroundings. Pre-concert talks about the music, excellent and varied food and drink, walk and talk in the cities (Passau, Regensburg, Nuremburg and Bamberg. Great company of likeminded souls, could only be better by lasting longer

Martin Randall Tours are SO well organised, but never pushy

The holiday was very comfortable with a relaxed pace, an excellent lecturer, and 3 trips to the Verona opera, one of which was discontinued because of rain.

Flawless attention to detail. Leisurely pace. Excellent lecturer.

Unflinchingly high-minded; an anti-cruise.

Unflinchingly high-minded.

Five Shakespeare plays- three in London two in Stratford. Excellent tour manager and knowledgeable guide.

The best organizer of tours for people who seek to develop their knowledge on theatre, art, music and culture. The guides, managers and organization is unfailingly excellent. I have been on eight tours with Martin Randall and look forward to many more.
