Martin Randall

Guided tour with Gordon Corrigan as the lecturer who was excellent.

Martin Randall organised everything.

Outstanding set of lectures and accompanying battlefield visits

well organized

A small group of us enjoyed four full days of private concerts on a carefully chosen range of organs of Bach's time. Both the organist who travelled with us and the local cultural tour leader/lecturer were outstanding.

All inclusive, small group, expert-led, cultural and gastronomical tours.

Superbly organised and led, we had a wonderful and very stimulating time visiting sites connected to the Renaissance courts of northern Italy, seeing a wide variety of artwork and buildings. Our lecturer was magnificent, and the tour guide kept everything-- arrivals, departures, meals, hotels--running like clockwork

Efficient and imaginative

It was a specialist holiday, called The Bach Journey, and the title says it all.

Always prompt and courteous in all dealings.

A superb experience : beautifully designed, excellent staff, memorable concerts in lovely surroundings.

Simply the best. So far as I can see Martin Randall Travel is in a class of its own.

The purpose of the tour was to listen to the music of J S Bach in the places in Thuringia Germany, associated with him at various times in his life. The ten concerts, exclusive to the tour, performed in the churches in which he himself performed, was probably the most memorable musical experience of my life.

Super efficient and informative is a brief summary. But since the tour was to listen to music, their Programme booklet - all 174 pages! - covered every aspect of the tour, day by day - hotels - even menus of meals to be eaten! - and every detail about the concerts, the performers, the concert programme, and in the case of Bach dynasty composers' cantatas, Bach's M Minor Mass, and the St John and St Matthew Passion the entire librettos were provided. All queries with Martin Randall staff before the tour were dealt with efficiently, and on the tour itself the staff guides were always available, cheerful and helpful. I couldn't recommend the organisation more highly.

The JS Bach Journey delivers even more than it promises. To see the venues and learn about the history is helpful in understanding and appreciating the music. To enjoy world-class performances of major works is sublime. To hear talks by a highly articulate and learned lecturer is an additional privilege. And to enjoy the whole week in the company of cultured and agreeable people from many countries puts the icing on the cake.

MRT is superlative, unbeatable.
