Orchestral music tours

Martin Randall is a top level, and top quality operator. They do what they promise, and usually much more. I travel alone, and I note how open, well behaved, and usually interesting the other travellers on the tour are. They add to the enjoyment. The managers and tour specialists are extremely good, well chosen and reliable. They are good value for money in all ways. I recommend them wholeheartedly, and hope they may continue to offer tours for many years to come.

Martin Randall Travel (MRT) are the best because they provide their customers with carefully designed and tested itineraries. These often feature special access to people and sites which you would not be able to access as an independent traveler. The other factors which make for very special experiences are the guides whose knowledge and passion and ability to communicate them are second to none. They are supported by tour managers who keep us all on time. All these factors combine with small tour numbers to make for very enjoyable holidays.

The annual calendar of tours offers a huge range. In any year it is difficult to decide where - there is so much on offer. We wish we had more ti me to do more - the tours are so imaginative. the tour itself is double headed - a manager and a lecturer. In our experience they are well chosen and capable. There is plenty of pr-etour information and reading if you are up for it. They are helpful in accomadating personal needs.

Martin Randall Travel is a thoroughly professional cultural tour operator: all arrangements are impeccably organised, tours are well researched, lecturers are experts in their subjects, and are excellent guides both on-site and in formal lectures. The company, of like-minded individuals is always congenial - in sum, an excellent informative and enjoyable experience.

Booking is easy and customer services very helpful, contact is always prompt and with an individual. Tour arrangements are always clear, transport, hotels, visits are well planned. In every tour I have enjoyed, there has never been any problem with timings and logistics. The price of the tour is fixed and what is included is transparent. In my experience and I have travelled widely, the cost of the tour represents excellent value for money. When on tour I have never felt part constrained by being part of a tour group, because tour managers are efficient but unobtrusive, experts tailor their commentary to the interests of the group and respond to their questions. The groups are small enough to get to know everyone and are always people who I have enjoyed meeting and with whom I have enjoyed a convivial dinner.
