" A good choice of stopping points and the free half-day in Burgos and a day in Santiago were perfectly timed and most enjoyable. Effortless travel in first-class coaches driven by careful and very competent drivers. " The Road to Santiago - The pilgrimage route through northern Spain
" Very well planned, with a pleasing balance between art, architecture and sightseeing. " The Douro - From Porto to Pinhão
" I have thoroughly enjoyed all the MRT tours I have been on. It is the attention to detail – nothing is left to chance. There is always an alternative if something proves to not be possible. Everyone is so helpful and obliging. I always feel so relaxed on a MRT holiday. The quality of the hotels, meals and visits but especially the music or opera. It is just fabulous. " Baroque & Rococo - In Southern Germany
" We would simply not have been able to do all the things that were organised for us had we been trying to put this trip together ourselves. " Essential Rome - The complete spectrum of art, architecture and antiquities
" Lovely to be there with fewer crowds. The visit to St Mark’s was such a privilege. " Venice at Christmas - Painting, sculpture & architecture in the world’s most beautiful city
