Martin Randall Travel Traveller Reviews

first time on an organised group holiday. Intellectually stimulating, excellent food and accommodation, with good company. Certainly learnt an awful lot!

Helpful and friendly from MR in Australia. Lecturer was both easy to listen to; informative with sense of humour. Tour manager equally approachable.

The holiday was a perfect combination of walking through beautiful Tuscan country side and looking at Tuscan art and architecture. Our guide's enthusiasm for her subject was infectious. The accommodation was in good quality hotels, the Relais in Radda reminiscent of a comfortable English country house, smelling of lavender and furniture polish, with wonderful views, and a swimming pool. After quite demanding walks we felt justified in enjoying delicious typical Tuscan cuisine.

Her enthusiasm for her subject was infectious, and her knowledge was deep. She had the gift of making history come alive. A bonus was that she read passages from famous authors relating to our visits and the countryside as we travelled in the coach.

Well- organised, full of very interesting visits

Pays great attention to detail and very attentive to needs of participants.

Excellent. Attends to every detail.

The tour was to Ravenna and Urbino, and finishing in Rimini. It was beautifully planned and we saw as much as we could, without being too tired.

Martin Randall always does a good tour, but this one was particularly well-planned with an excellent lecturer, Dr. Luca Leonine who is an expert both in knowledge and presentation. His assistant tour guide, Elaine, was a perfect assistant for him and very helpful to us.

A tour through Aragon in Spain.

This was our fifth holiday with Martin Randal. They consistently provide a professional and excellent service.

The trip was extraordinarily well organized with lots of very informative background reading materials provided beforehand. The hotel and meals provided were of a high standard. Our guide was not only academically very well qualified but also very cheerful and attentive.

The attention to detail with support and background materials provided beforehand was extraordinary.

This involved a day 9-5.30, of walking around many of the streets of London. Full of delights and surprises. 9 miles.

Excellent, very professional. Excellent communication and information beforehand.

A day tour to see the great Railway termini in London. Involved walking to Paddington, kings cross and St Pancras and included lunch and refreshments.

Martin Randall was very professional, sent notes and itinery beforehand and gave regular email updates before the tour. The tour guide was an expert and very interesting.

It was not so much a holiday as an experience. I went there to learn and, boy, did the group learn! It removed us from the comfort of our European way of thinking, showing a succession of cultures which reached amazing standards in construction, textiles, ceramics and metal work to emphasise the complexity and creativity of human civilisation removed from what is familiar to Europeans. It was hard work but so worth it. The travel company looked after us so well and the group mingled exceptionally well. I wish I was back there!

You pay for what you get. With Martin Randall Tours you get the best available so the tour was enjoyable allowing one to concentrate on the sights whilst having problems solved for you.
