I have been on 3 MRT tours in the last year (Venice, Florence and French gothic cathedrals). Each was meticulously planned: perfect locations, great hotels, excellent meals. The standard of our guides was outstanding. I look forward to many more trips with the company in future and have recommended MRT to friends and family.

I joined the tour to the Lofoten Islands Chamber Music Festival in the north of Norway. Everything was beautifully paced and the concerts were fantastic. It was such a comfortable trip with lovely hotels and fantastic restaurants. The icing on the cake was the Tour Manager and Guest Lecturer. Both absolutely on top of their game.

The tour (Medieval Anjou and Poitou) was meticulously planned and well paced. The lecturer was entirely on top of his subject and his knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious. We were also cared for by an excellent tour manager who spared no effort to ensure that the mechanics of the tour ran smoothly.

I have been on six Martin Randall tours that focused on art. Every one of them met my very high expectations. Thoughtful itineraries, comfortable hotels, perfect group size. I have been able to visit museums and other art-related sites that I never would have known about, much less seen on my own. The staff is extraordinary; you have the sense that they can handle anything that might arise.

I have enjoyed seven tours with Martin Randall Travel. They have all been excellent, meticulously planned and organised to the last detail, and enabled us to visit and learn about wonderful places. Each tour has a scholarly expert speaker and a very competent and friendly tour manager. The booking process has always been reliable and easy, with unfailingly courteous and helpful staff at the head office. I can enthusiastically recommend Martin Randall travel.

The outstanding feature of the itinerary was being guided through this significant exhibition by its curator, Tony Albert, and experiencing the more immersive approach he adopted. In dedicating individual spaces to the contemporary artists chosen for representation, we gained a greater appreciation of their individual artworks and stories. Our group also had the benefit of tour leader Dr Sally Butler's academic expertise on the place of the Australian Art movement in the broader context of Global Art History. Overall, every element of the program reflected the attention to detail that makes Martin Randall Travel so highly regarded.

This was my fifth Martin Randall Travel trip. They have all been good. The key difference with these tours is the fact that there is an expert lecturer (as well as a tour manager and a driver). The expert lecturer adds huge value. It's a cut above what you get even from a competent local guide with other tour companies. The expert lecturers are working academics who really know the topic and are skilled at talking about it in an accessible way without the dreaded dumbing down. The tours attract others with a similar deep interest in niche topics. It's good that everyone is on the same page in terms of their level of interest.

You really get looked after on a MRT tour. Everything is arranged to make the holiday so enjoyable: transport, entry to museums all sorted without fuss . We have travelled with Michael Douglas-Scott 4 times now and his knowledge and engaging style enthuses one to learn and appreciate the history of western art.

One of the very best for cultural and history tours. I have traveled multiple times with Martin Randall and am consistently extremely impressed by the quality of their tours both in content and itinerary as well as overall tour organization. Their expert lecturers are top notch and their tour managers experienced and real pros at what they do.
