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

I just wanted to pass along some wonderful feedback from my clients after their London / Cotswolds trip. I truly cannot thank you enough for making this experience so special for them. Looking forward to many more future collaborations!
Carleigh Tully, Dune Travel, USA

I am happy to recommend you all, as you have been a perfect fit for my UK travelers, and I love your attention to detail and the way that each trip is fully customized to exactly what my clients want. I look forward to working with you again soon!

Culture Tours

Whether you’re an opera buff or a theatre-goer, a sports fan or an art addict, there is so much to take in on one of our culture tours. And for those looking to explore their Welsh roots or brush up on their Welsh language skills, our Managing Director Janet Redler – a first language Welsh speaker – is ideally placed to put together the perfect itinerary for you.

Culture tours of the UK and Ireland

At Janet Redler Travel, we have a wealth of experience creating personal and tailor made culture tours of Wales and the rest of the UK and Ireland. Whether you want your whole itinerary built around your favourite cultural and sporting activities, or whether you would just like to include a West End Show in London or a tour of the cultural landmarks of Wales, for example, we can help.

Statue in Swansea of Dylan Thomas, one of Wales's greatest poets

England is of course famous for its theatre and London has perhaps the greatest concentration of performance venues in Europe. The latest West End productions often feature Hollywood stars and the quality of musicals, from Phantom of the Opera to The Lion King, are second to none.

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.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London

Glasgow in Scotland was recently recognised as one of the most exciting cities in the world by National Geographic Traveler because of its vibrant music and arts scene and, in Edinburgh, the National Galleries of Scotland, which contain some of the world’s greatest art, are well worth a visit.

Manchester is a Mecca for sports fans the world over, and a seat at Old Trafford soccer stadium for one of Manchester United’s home games is highly prized!

Old Trafford in Manchester

While in Manchester, an easy detour to Salford to visit the Imperial War Museum North and the Lowry Gallery – home of the national collection of paintings by LS Lowry, England’s most popular 20th Century painter – is recommended.

At Janet Redler Travel, we offer a wide range of music and concert tours, but our opera tours are especially popular, and we organise visits to operas all over Britain. Why not enjoy a tailor-made tour with us which takes in one or more operas at leading venues around the country?

Glyndebourne Festival Opera, which takes place each year in a purpose built opera house in the grounds of a stately home in the south of England is a must, and on a warm summer’s evening, a champagne picnic on the lawn before the performance begins is hard to beat.

In fact, every year across the UK and Ireland, more and more festivals squeeze into the calendar and vie for our attention. From the Edinburgh International Festival to The Proms – the world’s largest classical music festival, and from Glastonbury to the Great British Gin Festival, there is something for every taste. At Janet Redler Travel, we love visiting as many as we can, so we’ve put together a list of some of our favourite festivals.

Hay Festival in Wales

Language and culture tours of Wales

Our Managing Director, Janet Redler, from Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, is a first language Welsh speaker and is passionate about the language, culture and heritage of Wales.

So, whether you are looking to rediscover your welsh roots, brush up on your Welsh in Nant Gwrtheyrn or Cardiff University or spend a week on ‘The Maes’ at the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, Janet will plan your tour with a real personal touch.

And not forgetting each July when ‘Wales Welcomes the World’ at Llangollen International Eisteddfod, featuring the ‘Prestigious Choirs of the World’ competition.

Mae Jan yn hanu o Flaenau Ffestiniog yng Ngogledd Cymru. Cymraeg yw ei mamiaith ac mae'n frwd dros ein hiaith, ein diwylliant a'n treftadaeth unigryw. Mae wedi tywys ymwelwyr o bob cwr o'r byd sydd eisiau ailddarganfod eu gwreiddiau Cymreig — efallai yn gloywi eu Cymraeg yn Nant Gwrtheyrn neu ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ac yn treulio wythnos ar faes yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol.

Ond peidiwch â phoeni os yw'ch Cymraeg braidd yn fratiog — bydd y Croeso yr un mor gynnes ac ni fydd unrhyw un yn gwneud ichi deimlo'n fach. Mae llawer ohonom ni'n ddi-gymraeg ond rydym ni'r un mor frwd dros fod yn Gymry!

Mewn gwlad lle mae diwylliant yn hynod amrywiol, caiff pob un o'n celfyddydau eucynrychioli yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg fel ei gilydd, gyda llawer o ddigwyddiadau diwylliannol yn mynd rhagddyn nhw mewn orielau, theatrau, amgueddfeydd, llyfrgelloedd a neuaddau cyngerdd ledled Cymru.
