What our guests say...

Just like to say a big thankyou to Nath, Mel and all of the Soundmart Tour crew for an amazing tour showing us the best of Nashville & New Orleans. We were slightly reluctant going on an organised tour, but this tour far exceeded our expectations in more ways than one.   Having Damien, Troy, Blake, Sinead singing with the local musicians was unbelievable and something we’ll never forget. Even though we were over in Nashville for the CMA Festival, the tour had so many other highlights it would be hard to pick our favourite.   Due to covid we had to wait 2 years for this tour to eventuate, and it was definitely worth the wait. Great work Soundmart Tours.

I have had an incredible holiday travelling to Nashville for CMA fest and then onto Memphis, Mississippi, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Los Angeles.
I am so grateful to have been able to travel with Soundmart Tours. The extensive work they put into every detail creating this amazing trip and the special experiences that were included was nothing but incredible and a credit to all involved. 
The team are professional, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make your trip unforgettable to the point of customising days to allow last minute ‘extra’ rare and amazing opportunities.
My highlights of this trip were our day trip out to Storytellers hideaway farm and museum in Bon Aqua with our private performance from Mark Cash, this was such a precious and treasured experience.
Tallahatchie Flats was a beautiful and tranquil place where we were lucky enough to be invited to a private event and entertained and enjoyed sharing a meal with a group of local folk from Greenwood. This was one of my favourite evenings on the trip.
I have made some great friendships from the trip and fond memories to hold onto for a long time, our guest hosts also made the trip fun and the numerous on the spot performances were very enjoyable.
If you enjoy music then I would highly recommend you book a tour with Soundmart Tours you will not regret becoming a part of the Soundmart family.  I can’t wait till my next trip!  Thank you Soundmart Tours you guys Rock!

"Soundmart Tours, go above and beyond to ensure a unique experience.  The entire tour runs seamlessly, with more highlights than you can count!  A brilliant balance of tour events and spare time to shop or head to a Honky Tonk!  Access to so many opportunities that you just can't do on your own!  The knowledge of the tour guides was phenomenal and the interaction with the guest hosts Damien, Sinead, Blake and Troy was brilliant!  The Neon Cactus event was a highlight!  You'll just have to go to experience it! I would definitely go again!  From start to finish you are well informed and looked after.  If you don't have anyone to go with, don't hesitate to travel with Soundmart Tours.  I believe you don't travel alone with Soundmart.  We met and made so many friends on the tour who we hope we will travel with again!  If you are thinking about doing the AAA all access CMA Festival tour, just book it!  You will not regret it!

"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. "

"The Soundmart Team are amazing, they went above and beyond for the tour group every step of the way. Mel and Nath helped me to overcome difficulties to be able to attend the tour and the tour hosts made themselves available but also went out of their way to ensure everyone had anything they needed and were managing ok. The group felt like lifelong friends from the start. My first trip overseas could not have been in better hands. Just do it !!"

If you love music then Soundmart is the tour company for you, Nath, Mel and Kate make your dreams come true, and if your go to CMA you will get to travel with Troy Kemp and Damo for the Viper Creek Band who entertain you along the way.
If it’s a concert in Sydney, the CMC or Muster In Qld or a music festival in the USA Soundmart is your ticket there. 
You guys rock, see you in 2020! "

"We have no hesitation in recommending travel with Soundmart Tours.

From the moment my sister and I paid our deposit (18 months prior) for the CMA Fest 2019 Nashville & Memphis trip Nathan and Mel were in constant phone and email contact with both of us, regularly updating us on tour info.
They went above and beyond to ensure we knew what was going on and that we were comfortable.

The trip was so well organised and they had thought of every little detail.

Absolutely loved our trip to Nashville and couldn't have asked for a more seamless process.

Having guest hosts with knowledge of the city and festival to give us inside tips and tricks enhanced the trip even more.

Thank you Soundmart Tours for everything!"

"Well where do I start with Soundmart Tours!!!
What an incredible experience I had with them travelling to Nashville for the CMA Festival!!
I can not recommend them highly enough... I’m so grateful to have come across them on Instagram!!

Nath, Mel and Kate you all went over and beyond for everyone on the tour. The background work that went into the tour really showed and attention to detail was impeccable and you always kept us well informed before and during the tour. The places we got to experience Blue Bird Cafe, RCA Studio B and being able to record a song as a group, Graceland and Memphis just to name a few. Our tour hosts Troy, Damien and their partners Aleesha and Lorie it was a pleasure meeting you all and thank you also for making it a memorable tour. The friendships and memories made on this tour I will cherish forever and look forward to catching up with everyone again in the near future! You will not be disappointed if you book with Soundmart Tours and as Nathan said we are all apart of the Soundmart Tour Family now!"
