Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.

TESTIMONIALS
Very interesting range of excursions. Enjoyed the mixture of half and full day excursions and the opportunity to visit less “touristy" places.
B.R., West Midlands
Hotel was comfortable and clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful too! Location was perfect.
A.D., Surrey
Another very successful Martin Randall holiday. Can’t wait for the next one.
A.D., Surrey
One of the nicest things on a tour of the Randall type is the little extra added especially if one could not do it on one’s own.
P.H., Kent
