Living and learning with friends
Our tour operator was Martin Randall. Pre-travel information and service was excellent. On tour the day-trips were well planned, varied and accommodating. The lecturer was very well informed and generous with his time and knowledge. The tour leader never failed to attend to our needs.

Superbly organised and operated - shame about the perfomance
Relatives who have travelled with MR extol their standards, and I can now see why. It is hard to think of ways in which those parts of the experience under MR control could have been improved. On days between performances we were whisked off by luxury coaches to various sites outside the city centre...

A music festival of choral concerts celebrating the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd
Based in Lincoln, this was a series of concerts of music primarily by Byrd and his contemporaries performed by various choral and other groups in a variety of venues connected with Byrd.

Courts of Northern Italy
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.

A lifetime's ambition fulfilled.
Martin Randall go to a lot of trouble to get things right, but it shows in the very high prices. For a specialist tour like this, they can be justified, but I would never use them for a run-of-the-mill destination. So I could only recommend them to a certain type of traveller.

Castile and Leon - getting to know the Real Spain
We travelled with a tour leader and tour manager, both of whom spoke excellent Spanish. The tour included a number of cathedrals and monasteries, as well as some palaces and El Escorial. We were told about each of them and directed to see the main sites. We had 5 dinners together, all of which were ...

Terrificsites and tour leader!
Martin Randall has both an academic lecturer and a know-the-region tour manager who work in concert to provide a superior tour. The descriptions before the tour are specific enough so that one knows what one has to look forward to; no unhappy surprises. Of course with travel, one has to always be fl...

one day out was so enjoyable felt like a complete mini holiday
visited London railway termini with lunch and coffee /tea breaks. Covered enormous range of interesting subjects peripheral to this central subject…e.g. art architecture,history,redevelopment. Highly recommended for those short of time to take longer break
