What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

What travelers are saying

"I had to write this review when I saw the only review on here was so mediocre. We went earlier this year on an art tour of Florence. It was excellent, from booking to getting off the plane back in England. The hq staff, the tour guide and the expert were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The tour was brilliantly designed so we saw a great deal in a city of masterpieces, but never felt overwhelmed. The hotel was excellent. The meals were very good. It is expensive, but taking into account the quality of the hotel and the expertise of both the Martin Randall staff and the art historian it really is good value. The whole trip was good fun, enlightening and ran like clockwork. Nobody needs to go on a luxury tour accompanied by an academic - you could stay in a youth hostel and read a tour guide and see the same sights for a tenth of the price. But if you have the inclination and means then Martin Randall is an excellent choice. We have since booked another tour for next year, and I have my sights on two more."

What travelers are saying

"I will give you the short version- My 18 year old child rode the bus from the Chateau Lake Louise to the Calgary airport-they are very well traveled and smart. -Bus stops in Banff, driver said we are stopping and leaving at 6:30pm. 18 year old came back at 6:25pm-NO BUS. GONE. -I get a call from bus service panicked-they can't find my child. I call my child-they are waiting at the designated location...NO BUS. -Staff from Banff Fairmont take them to the bus.Very helpful. -My child gets on the bus...bus starts rolling. STOPS...driver turns on ALL the lights and MAKES MY CHILD APOLOGIZE TO THE WHOLE BUS FOR MAKING THEM LATE. Driver said that the misunderstanding on meeting time was my childs fault and made everyone on the bus think that it was the drivers fault. -My child stood up and apologized to all the riders on the bus and then sat in the back and cried. -I AM APALLED THAT AN ADULT WOULD PUBLICLY SHAME AN 18 YEAR OLD IN FROM OF COMPLETE STRANGERS WHEN IT WAS CLEARLY CLEARLY CLEARY THEIR FAULT. I WILL NEVER I REPEAT NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. I WILL WALK."

Festivals & Special Events Tour Selection Trips

  • Plan well in advance to attend top festivals since tours, lodgings and flights may fill quickly
  • Be prepared to pay a bit more for everything around festival time
  • If price hikes during top festivals stretch your budget, consider structuring a tour around lesser-known events
  • Festivals are ideal times to arrange custom tours, whether on your own or with friends and family
  • Keep in mind that festival days may not be the best times to do regular sightseeing, if that’s a priority
  • Also consider your tolerance for crowds and noise before booking a festival tour
