"This was my first MRT tour and I was blown away by the brilliant execution. Immediately following completion of the tour, which I did alone, I registered my wife and me for the same tour next Spring. Thank you for the best nine days of my life."

" Four very good nights of opera plus tours around the city looking at important buildings and their contents,led by an enthusiastic and very, very knowledgeable person. The lecturer on opera could not be better. The hotel could not be bettered. " Opera in Vienna - Mozart, Nicolai, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev
" We travelled on MRT's "Monteverdi in Venice: The Four Operas" Music Festival. Our hotel, the music, lectures and overall experience was spectacular and even exceeded our already high expectations of the week. " - Mozart, Nicolai, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev
" A London day focussing on the Tudors and visiting several London sites " - Mozart, Nicolai, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev
" Private Grand Houses of Norfolk. Had five private visits where shown round by owners. (Properties not generally open to the public). Wonderful to see how the owners had adapted historic houses to 20th century living, and the level of conservation undertaken. Very interesting to obtain background and knowledge from our architecture specialist and the owners on how they were funding major conservation and preservation projects. Lovely hotel ... " Great Private Houses in Norfolk - Special arrangements and in-depth visits
" I learnt so much of the relevant history; also saw Ravenna mosaics for first time since 1965, needed revisiting! Lovely group of people; excellent lecturer and tour manager. " Courts of Northern Italy - Princely art of the Renaissance
