Absolutely wonderful holiday. Enjoying the wonderful experiences of the tour, pleasant comfortable accomodation and the experience and professionalism of Sue and Geoff, our hostess and driver. I look forward to many more adventures with O'Shannessys.
Mary - Tasmania East Coast Escape
Everything was beyond expectations. There were many highlights but uppermost were Bruny Island, Wineglass Bay cruise and accompanying dolphins and the Tasmanian seafood. Sue and Geoff were outstanding, helpful, informative and friendly.
Denise - Tasmania East Coast Escape
I could not have been happier on all points. It was an amazing and interesting tour with first class everything. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of fulfilling a dream. Too many highlights to list but one highlight was the helpful driver Leigh and fantastic tour director Leigh. Very well organised, helpful and know so much.
Shirley - Mungo Silo Art Autumn Trail
Both tour directors were very good. I found Adam outstanding with his attention and care. Adam is one in a million with all passengers. I enjoyed it all but the four wheel driving stands out and the sunset on the lookout.
Margaret - Flinders Ranges Outback Autumn Experience
Our first O'Shannessy's tour and loved it all! So many highlights. We enjoyed both Islands. The itinerary covered so many things: history and geography, loved the stories of the locals. The beaches on Flinders Island are breathtaking. Our meals were excellent. Our tour leader Mandy was wonderful, caring, competent and fun.
Lyn and John - King and Flinders Islands Adventure
The care and support shown by Mandy was first class. All crew were friendly and approachable. An excellent overview and balance of history, museums and scenic attractions.
Mark and Pam - King and Flinders Islands Adventure
Learning the history of Mungo man and woman and the affects of long droughts on the waterways was a highlight, as was the beauty of some of the art on the silos. The tour guide and chauffeur worked constantly to attend to our needs and care for the coach. They were well informed about the places we visited and showed their knowledge with us constantly.
Frances - Mungo Silo Art Autumn Trail
This was my first trip with O'Shannessys and I loved the idea of being picked up and dropped off at home and not having to worry about having luggage. I will be watching out for another tour that takes my interest in the future. Thanks for top rate, professional tour directors in Mr and Mrs Leigh.
Anonymous - Mungo Silo Art Autumn Trail
We appreciated the care and concern shown to David who had to leave the tour and return home at the end of King Island Tour. Mandy was very efficient, caring and sympathetic. The highlight for us was seeing Grassy again!
Vivien, Tarith and Judith - King and Flinders Islands Adventure
Mandy was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Goes beyond her call of duty. Looking forward to travelling again. The whole tour was wonderful.
Anonymous - King and Flinders Islands Adventure
Our driver and chauffer were wonderful. Very helpful, informed and patient. I was with a very friendly group of people, all mixed well, and I think Shelley and Brad's local knowledge was excellent. The little extras, meeting up before dinner etc for a drink is great. I've done 2 previous tours and I thik this one was tops. Cant wait for my next one!
Mary - Essence of the Kimberley Darwin to Broome
Brad and Shelley wre brilliant. Lots of knowledge of the outback. Also very understanding of everyones needs. Great tour.

Breathtaking scenery at every place visited. Great balance of day trips. Just loved it and will definitely be travelling with O'Shannessys again.
Maureen - New Zealand South Island Adventure
The opportunity to visit part of the country that I have never seen - the sightseeing from the coach. The professionalism, friendliness and patience of the Tour Directors Marc and Adam was first class. Daily organisation re punctuality, cleaning and preparation of coach, ordering of meals, clear instructions re travel times etc was excellent!
Frances - Outback Queensland to Longreach
Everything was terrific but I think the beautiful people of Fiji was my highlight. The friendliness, the welcome and love that they showed to us all and of course the singing which I could listen to all day. It was my first tour with O'Shannessys and I will certainly be doing more. It was great to relax and not worry about anything. Greg did a good job in looking after us all.
Joy - Fiji Island Bliss
Marc and Rhonda were excellent to travel with. Went out of their way to help.

The Silo Art was great to see and all activities were interesting. Regarding food the lunch at Rochester was exceptional in its thoughtful gluten free meals. Coach crew could not be faulted. They were friendly attentive and always good humoured.

Great tour. Mandy was fabulous as were the drivers.

Our first tour with O'Shannessy's and we were very impressed. Adam was an excellent tour director attentive, friendly with a great sense of humour, very well informed on points of interest and quirky little facts to keep us entertained between stops.

Just returned last night from this trip and just wanted to say how great it was. Greg our coach driver and Adam our tour director, went above and beyond to make it a great trip. Their dedication to the passengers, their help and consideration to us all made it a great trip. 27 out of the 28 passengers were return customers. How great to see our chauffeurs at the carousel and great accomodation as well.
