Private cultural tours, built around your group
Since 1988, Martin Randall's Private Groups division has run some of the world's finest expert-led cultural tours. Everything we do can also be arranged as a private departure — for a group of friends, a society, an alumni body, or an institution's patron community.
We work closely with organisers from the outset, devising itineraries that meet your precise brief. Not just in broad strokes, but every detail: hotels, transfers, access, expert guiding — all arranged and managed to the standard of our main programme.
The selection of exceptional resources, careful attention to logistics and a commitment to your group's expectations sit at the heart of everything we do. From first conversation to the final day of your tour, our dedicated team provides consistent guidance and support at every step. You bring the people. We bring everything else.

For private groups looking to customise a Martin Randall itinerary
From 10 people · from £4,000 per person · your dates, your itinerary
Choose any of our 200+ tours as your starting point, or work with us to build something entirely new. Travel on dates that suit you, with hotels and other arrangements carefully selected and managed by our team. This works for family milestones, university alumni trips, art society tours or simply a group of like-minded travellers.
For cultural institutions
We work discreetly with several leading cultural institutions — museums, galleries, performing arts, foundations and historic houses — to design travel programmes for their patron, benefactor and supporter communities. These are not off-the-shelf tours. Each programme is built around the institution's own specialism, values and patron relationships, and is designed to deepen engagement while offering an experience that patrons genuinely cannot arrange elsewhere.
Typical features include privileged access to private collections, after-hours visits, behind-the-scenes access at partner institutions, and curatorial input from our expert network. All of our institutional work is handled with full discretion.
If you are responsible for a patron or development programme and would like to discuss what a travel partnership might look like, we would be happy to speak in confidence.
Curate a cultural journey for your members
Please note that prices for private groups differ from our regular prices.
