Hi JRT, we are enjoying our trip. Yesterday we enjoyed getting to know our driver Kieran, Kylemore Abbey, the wonderful Ashford Castle high tea and special call out and show at Trad on the Prom last night. We are settling into another lovely room here in Killarney Royal and just had a nice light dinner at the hotel. Thanks for your great organization!

Hi Janet. Hi Dawn. I wanted to let you know that Deborah and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent trip to the Cotswolds. Your choice of Steve as our driver made it a time to remember. We hit it off immediately and were blessed by his knowledge of the area and your choice of local history. Thanks again.

Thanks for finding Mr Imran for us. He was spot on time and a very good driver/conversationalist. He took us on a route thru the western highlands that suited our needs for spectacular scenery -- excellent!
Mr & Mrs Bruce, USA

Let me start off with we had an amazing two weeks in Ireland and Scotland. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done. I fell in love with Scotland, I would definitely go back. The locations were amazing, just a walk or a drive away to attractions, shops and restaurants.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we had an absolutely wonderful time! A perfect amount of activities and down time! We laughed a lot, enjoyed wonderful food and experienced so much! The hotels were great! The walking tours were great! I could go on and on but I'll end with just saying, it is almost impossible to pick my favorite thing because I loved it all!

Hi team, I have heard from two of the ladies and wanted to pass along their feedback. Thank you for all you did to make them so happy and to make me look so good! I am relishing this partnership!!
Katherine Lu, 417 Travel, USA

The people from Janet Redler Travel were wonderful. We were so fortunate in the Cotswolds to have a tour guide who knew of very small villages and backroads that tourists would not normally know about. We are grateful to the attention you give to accommodations, tour guides and building in 'free time'.
Mr & Mrs Deinlein, USA

Academic and Alumni Tours

At Janet Redler Travel, we pride ourselves on delivering luxury vacations for visitors who take their pleasures seriously and we are pleased to offer a wide range of tailor made academic and alumni tours of the UK and Ireland.

King's College, University of Cambridge

We have many years' experience delivering customised tours for groups from universities, colleges and academic institutions. We just love to research, plan and manage vacations for those who are looking for intellectual stimulation and who want to travel with like-minded alumni, colleagues or friends.

Our first class team, led by Janet Redler herself, comprises academics and experts who will be with you on your tour to help make it an experience you will never forget. Janet herself is a first language Welsh speaker who knows Wales inside out and is passionate about her home country. Director Nick Bardsley is an Oxford educated historian with a legal background and, when we need to, we call on the services of Helen Moriarty, an expert on landscapes and gardens, and Nick’s daughter Lydia Bardsley, a linguist from Trinity College, Cambridge.

Our VIP Associate is Nicholas Olsberg, historian, archivist, curator and writer. Previously Director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, Canada, his architectural publications include work on Marcel Breuer and Carlo Scarpa, with major studies and exhibitions on Frank Lloyd Wright, Arthur Erickson, Carlos Diniz and John Lautner.

Whether you are looking for a tour focused on the magnificent castles and palaces of England and Wales, a tour of UK cultural institutions, from the British Museum to the National Gallery, or you are keen to enjoy music and the performing arts, we can create the perfect tour for you. You could also discover more about the history of the UK and Ireland by exploring the archives, collections and manuscripts of these countries on one of our tailor-made tours.

Why not follow in the footsteps of one of the world's greatest playwrights on one of our tailor-made Shakespeare Tours? Explore the medieval town of Stratford-upon-Avon where 'the Bard' was brought up and enjoy theatre as it was in Shakespeare's time at The Globe in London.

Or perhaps your tour will include meetings and conferences? If so, we can build a personalised itinerary which combines business and pleasure, and helps you get the most out of your free time while keeping your professional requirements at heart.

Of course, as well as intellectual stimulation, our goal is to deliver a relaxing, stress free tour and our itineraries can include as much (or as little) leisure time and relaxation as you choose. And with access to the finest hotels and the best restaurants, we aim to deliver a travel experience that is second to none.
