" I loved everything. Given the extent of the Wall, the chosen areas where perfect for me. " Walking Hadrian’s Wall - Roman civilisation at the edge of an Empire

" Marc Millon's presentation of the subject matter was engaging and beautifully delivered. His ability to blend the culinary and vinicultural aspects with the culture, past history of the region and to put it all in the context of our current times was faultless. The inclusion of additional local guides added substantially to the benefits of the tour. The local producers provided excellent details of the products of which they are appropriately proud. " Gastronomic Friuli-Venezia Giulia - Superb food and wine in Italy’s less frequented north east

" This tour is even more interesting than I had expected: in addition to studying the architecture, there was a wealth of information about the differences between monastic and clerical establishments, and about the historical context including many significant monuments. " The Cathedrals of England - Ely, Lincoln, Durham, York, Coventry, Gloucester, Bristol, Wells, Salisbury, Winchester

" I have been on a number of similar trips and this is one of the best in every way. " Connoisseur’s Pompeii - Food, wine and archaeology in the Bay of Naples

" Never a dull moment. " Normans in the South - Castles and cathedrals in Puglia, Basilicata and Campania

" The choice of itinerary was well planned and an excellent balance of archaeological sites. " Sardinia - Archaeology, architecture and art

" An excellent holiday organised, as usual, with Martin Randall Travel's usual expertise, attention to detail and concern for the customer. " Gastronomic Piedmont - Some of the finest food and wine in Italy

" Covered a lot of ground in the time available and would gladly do it all again. The food and wine, exceptional, the Italian hospitality at its very best. " Connoisseur’s Pompeii - Food, wine and archaeology in the Bay of Naples
