The tours are high quality sightseeing tours with a focus on music, especially in the evenings. The main idea, with the music, is to see and hear the local musicians. Performances range from major international shows, such as the Edinburgh Tattoo and the Grand Ole Opry, to performances in pubs and concert halls. John also involves his tour groups in lots of informal, fun-filled music making; i.e., singing on the coach, bush poetry nights, informal evening sing-a-longs, and dancing. However, you do not have to be a musician, or be particularly interested in music, to enjoy John's tours; they are fabulous sightseeing tours.......the music is a bonus! Accommodation for the tours is generally in centrally located 3 star (or better) hotels. Since 1998 John has been running the tours in partnership with Travelrite International Pty Ltd, a Melbourne based company with particular expertise in special interest tours. Travelrite has been organising special interest tours for almost 30 years.
