What our guests say...
"I would highly recommend Soundmart Tours, if you are looking at going to the CMA Fest in Nashville, CMC in QLD, Stage Coach Tour in the USA, Calgary Stampede in Canada or the the Gympie Music Muster in Gympie QLD.
I have just gotten home from a 10 day tour to Nashville USA for the CMA Festival and I had the most amazing time, this was my first time going overseas and the guys made me feel like part of the family. They organised everything, even taking you on day tours or let you do your own thing.
A huge thank you to Nath Marshall, Melissa Marshall, Kate Marshall, Damien Baguley and Troy Kemp. You all made my first experience memorable and I will not hesitate to go with you guys again, 100% loved the time away. "
Bev Lancaster
