[citation needed] Ian Irvine in The Independent said, "All three... highlights from my life as a cultural tourist were part of the remarkable series of music festivals run by Martin Randall."[3] Christine Headley praised Martin Randall Travel's handling of money - covering most costs and distributing local currency - on the festival she attended.[4] Kenneth Asch wrote in the Travellers' Handbook, "Of all the travel services I have researched, Martin Randall Travel is perhaps the most comprehensive, culturally speaking."[5]
Martin Randall Travel won four awards at the 2014 British Travel Awards, including first place in Best Small Holiday Company for Customer Service.[6] At the 2015 British Travel Awards, it came first again in Best Small Holiday Company for Customer Service,[7] and it also won gold in the category Best Small Special Interest Holiday Company.[8]
