Testimonials

The holiday lived up to my expectation and more!

I enjoyed myself very much and hope to make another trip in the new year.

This was my first Mystery tour and I thoroughly enjoyed not knowing the programme for each day. The local knowledge provided by the tour coach driver Paul was great. Jan and Paul were a geat team and everything went very smoothly, they mixed well at meal times and made sure everyone was looked after. Met up with several people from previous tours and shared with newcomers.

Geoff and Sue were exceptionally good. Couldn't do enough to look after us all.

Jan was lovely, friendly, helpful and always available.

Christine and Marc are a caring and very competent team. They made our 6 days very enjoyable.

The choice and/or training which is used in choosing tour directors is great. I have been incredibly impressed from the 2 tours I have done.

We were very satisfied and we would love to go again on one of your tours.

Most enjoyable tour. Leigh and Leigh were excellent. Both were very happy and helpful to be with.

O'Shannessy's did not disappoint. It was a beautiful, well planned tour. Congratulations to the tour planners. Hope to see you soon.

I would like to thank Adam and Chris for a very friendly experience and I will be booking another tour.

A really wonderful tour - Leigh and Leigh were great - Very informative, but fun to be around - obliging and nothing was a bother to them. The itinerary was just right for 4 days - filled wih adventure but there was time for relaxing and a little shopping as well. Thank you Chris and the team for such a great holiday!

Coach crew were excellent and the commentary was excellent. Always highly recommend O'Shannessy's company and staff.

Greg and Sonya were excellent tour guides and provided a wealth of information everywhere we travelled. I would highly recommend O'Shannessy's to my friends, I think it's a lovely way to travel when everything is taken care of from start to finish.

We had the dream team Jan and Marc. Just simply unflappable. A big Thank you to you both.

First time travellers and will check out the 2024 touring program for future trips - Excellent!

Commentary was excellent about each town. Coach was always sparkling clean. Mr Leigh and Mrs Leigh were wonderful.

Brad and Mr Leigh made a great team, competant friendly and informative. The Easter extras eg. Rabbit chocolate and bunny ears made for a happy vibe. My 20th O'Shannessy's Tour maintained the high quality and friendly atmosphere of past tours. Very enjoyable!

The whole tour was great! Accomodation, coach drivers, meals, places of interest all great and well thought-out.

I've just returned from this marvelous tour! Took me to so many places that I had wanted to visit but couldn't otherwise have experienced. Shelley and Brad were the best! Nothing was too much bother for them and they did everything with a smile! The accommodation and food was excellent. Congratulations to everyone who put this tour together!

My first time travelling with O'Shannessy's Quality Tours but if all tour guides are are as excellent as Brad and Shelley, I will definitely be travelling with O'Shannessy's again!

Our tour guides Geoff and Sue were excellent and worked very hard to assist all and were pleasant all the time.

Excellent experience - as usual. No need to worry, just sit back and enjoy - everythings happens seamlessly around you.

Thanking Mandy and Liam for the excellent job of caring so much for us and always being happy and helpful in every way. Liam is a real gentleman and his family would be really proud of him.

I was very satisfied with the complete tour. Mark, Cathy and Terry were all excellent.

Leigh and Leigh were both wonderful people, nothing is too much trouble for them. Don't know where Leigh gets all her energy from. They had no favourites on board. The knowledge they had was always good to hear. They have a vast background of touring knowledge which is always a help.

I have never travelled with Adam and Marc before, but these guys were brilliant. Their attention to detail was exceptional, there was such a pleasant, friendly atmosphere throughout the time, and I would recommend this tour. Don't forget to bring a good sense of humor and you'll be in for a treat.

The coach crew - Mr Leigh and Mrs Leigh - are great. Both were incredibly hard workers, very knowledgable, informative and caring.

O'Shannessy's are so well organised. Geat crew - just looked after us so well.

This tour was a wonderful experience, great food, venue and attractions. What made it really exceptional from start to finish was Christine. A great sense of humour, very approachable and organised. The best tour guide we have ever had.

Everything about the trip was excellent, from booking to the drop off. Couldn't fault anything. Well done O'Shannessy's!

K'gari was exceptional. Leigh and Leigh were fantastic. A great team. They took the time to get to know everyone on tour. friendly, knowledgable and accommodating - great people!

I think Shelley and Brad did an excellent job caring for the travellers who had walkers and helped all of us getting on and off the coach. Everyone got along well together.

Geoff and Sue were excellent in all respects. Looking forward to many more trips with you!

Leigh and Leigh were delightful driver and guides, providing safety and entertaining stories.

Once again Sue and Geoff went overboard to make the tour THE BEST!

I have never been on a tour with O'Shannessy's before but will certainly be looking at more. Both Mark and Adam were very helpful, attentive and friendly. I really enjoyed my tour. Thanks to all the people involved with O'Shannessy's.

Adam is an excellent tour director and Marc is a very good and safe driver - Always finding the best spot for us to depart the coach. As a combination they made this a very happy tour - Always willing to help anyone with their needs.

Christine has been an excellent tour leader. Very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. I will definitely travel with O'Shannessy's again.

I have enjoyed having Geoff and Sue Banks on this tour. This is my third trip with them and I can't fault them, nothing is too hard for them.

Wonderful coach crew! Geoff and Sue thank you! I can't praise them highly enough! Many thanks to them and the O'Shannessy's team.

Leigh and Leigh were both excellent in every way. Mr Leigh's driving was exceptional, very safe and patient.

As far as my experience goes, O'Shannessy's staff do a great job. Keep up the good work! 

With this being our 4th tour, we would like to let you all know, that every thing was excellent, AS USUAL. Met Brad and Shelly, hopefully won't be the last. Looking forward to our next tour in 2025!

Everything was perfect, the food great and the rooms comfortable. Plenty of rest stops.

I found the itinerary excellent and well thought out. Mr and Mrs Leigh couldn't have been more helpful, even doing extra little things along the way to help each of us.

Lovely to be back touring with O'Shannessy's!

Cathy, Terry and Marc, great people thoughtful, helpful and did a wonderful job in looking after us all. Very curteous and excellent in detail in places we visited. I particularly liked the pickup and helping at airport with luggage and check-in.

Our coach crew were fabulous all the way through we had a great group of people on board and had lots of fun and I made some great friends. Thank you to Shelley and Brad you made my trip very enjoyable and lots of fun.

The coach crew were excellent. They gave some very interesting commentary and were helpful to everyone who asked questions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Mandy was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Goes beyond her call of duty. Looking forward to travelling again. The whole tour was wonderful.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Marc and Ronda 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.

O'Shannessys Tours are wonderful for people in my age group (70+). Nothing is left to chance and everything carried out in a very efficient way. Everyone was kind, helpful and patient. I have recommended your company to friends and others. I honestly can't wait for my next O'Shannessy's adventure. Thankyou for everything.

Enjoyed the tour every day. Mark and Rhonda are professional and extremely exceptional. Very helpful to all passengers, especially those requiring extra help.
