I returned yesterday from the Mungo Silo Art Trail Spring tour and write now to say thank you to all involved, especially Christine and Marc, for a splendid tour. Throughout I felt comfortable and safe and able to enjoy the many attractions visited. I shall certainly recommend O’Shannessy’s to relatives and friends.

Jacqueline - Sydney and the Blue MountainsJacqueline - Sydney and the Blue Mountains
Each time I do a tour I meet different people with a few different interests and different personalities. Yet it doesn't take long for all to become one - enjoying each others company, watching out for each other. I think this is due to the attitude of the tour directors. They set the tone for all to follow on day 1. Thank you for finding the right people!
