Walking Hadrian's Wall Traveller Reviews

The tour combined walking and historical interest(Hadrian's Wall) in superb countryside. We enjoyed the speaker's daily evening lectures.. Our tour guide kept us all together and was helpful in making sure we were at the right place at the right time.

Martin Randall provided a first class service in terms of the tour location, the accommodation, meals and personnel.

Walking Hadrian's Wall in May. The leader and lecturer were excellent as was the itinerary.

Excellent. They supplied me with everything I needed in plenty of time and looked after me very well.

My week walking Hadrians wall was both physically and mentally challenging. Our lecturer imparted a wealth of information on the Roman world at the time. His wonderful sense of humour combined with his vast ,knowledge made for a truly interesting daily education. My fitness level has increased and dexpite eating three large gourmet meals most days my weight remained the same. Our accommodation wS superb.

The attention to detail was fantastic. Everything was coverered by the tour manager, always on the ground keeping an eye on all and offering advice and help if needed. Accommodation was superb as was the dining experience. Good drivers and a great lecturer.

A wonderful discovery of an area (Northumberland) which was new to me. Highly qualified and most interesting tour guide. Superb hote,. Beautifully organised

Well organised, efficient, competent. Would certainly trust them with future trips

Martin Randall's Hadrian's Wall tour was exceptional. Six days of bliss, Each day was memorable. There was a morning walk of part of the Wall, difficulty ranging from easy to moderate. Lunch was taken at different pubs in villages along the Wall. We spent the afternoon visiting either a fort or a museum. Apart from an accompanying Martin Randall tour manager, we were led by Graeme Stobbs, archaeologist and expert on Hadrian's Wall. With frequent stops to discuss segments of the Wall, and a lecture in the evening (glass of wine in hand), we came away full bottle on the history of this amazing structure. The six days were based at Matfen Hall outside Newcastle, so no transfers between hotels. Short bus rides to various parts of the Wall were in a comfortable couch. I can recommend this tour unreservedly.

Martin Randall is an exceptional tour operator. I have done two tours with them, Hadrian's Wall and Great Houses of the North, and I understand why there are so many repeat customers. They offer an experience which is unique - a high end tour characterised by excellent accommodation and meals, attention to detail, a caring attitude to all clients, and, most importantly, an accompanying expert. The expert is usually an academic who provides one formal lecture per day, and a running commentary during the tour sights, and of course is available to answer all questions. If this sounds attractive to you, then try them. You will not be disappointed.

We walked Hadrian's Wall with Martin Randall Travel (actually not all of it but significant sections in easy bites, coast to coast, thanks to careful planning and well selected accommodation and transport. Led by an archeologist with a lifetime of study and field work on the Wall with comprehensive lectures and commentary whilst walking it was a wonderful in depth experience yet all delivered with a lightness of touch and fascinating glimpses of life in the Roman Army at the time.

We have travelled with Martin Randall on two previous occasions (music tours). Their offerings are characterised by serious studies of a wide range of cultural subjects, led by acknowledged experts who provide in depth but always approachable commentary. The tours are impeccably organised down to the last detail with accommodation and meals to a high standard. Prices never seem unduly high given the standard of everything on offer.

Walking Hadrian's Wall for 7 days on a Martin Randall Tour was the best, totally memorable. Historically riveting, lodgings and meals fabulous, tour manager and tour guide flawless, professional and nurturing. It could not have been better or more fun.

Absolutely perfect !!!
