I take this opportunity to say that my sister & I had a truly wonderful trip and we both thoroughly enjoyed it..we don't get many opportunities to spend a lot of time together so it was a very special experience for us...suffice to say - "the opera" was amazing and it was the type of experience that I will remember forever! To be out under the stars on a beautiful evening in among the amazing trees in the crisp mountain air was truly special in my mind. How lucky we were to have had the chance to do that! Also my big thanks to Kevin for his usual wonderful care and thought for each of us while we were on the trip. He certainly has a unique way with him, to be able to shepherd us "oldies" around without us feeling he is doing so! Such patience and with his cheerful manner too! He always makes the trips so enjoyable for us all. I look forward to being able to take some more holidays with you in the future. Take care everyone...

Just a quick thank you for our very enjoyable day to see Chicago including a very pleasant lunch stop at Albert Park Lake. Thanks Kevin for picking our group of 12 up at Mt Martha House Community House, it was a perfect location for us and a big thank you for such great seats, we loved the show and had a great time. None of my group had travelled with you before and I was thrilled that as usual you met all my expectations.

What a great Christmas in Echuca, we were taken care of so professionally, Kevin was the ultimate tour guide & expert coach driver. We were both so pleased to make the decision to do some thing “ different “ for Christmas, Ang & Laurie at the motel went out of their way to make sure we all enjoyed the festive season. Thank you, Kevin, Ang & Laurie for all the attention to detail that allowed us to have the best Christmas ever!!! Fond regards

Just wanted to thank you for the effort you put in on my behalf re the gluten free. I had a number of choices of meal at the Sporting Club , choice being a real treat for me and the gluten free biscuits for my morning tea had been put aside so that I could take what I wanted before they were put out for the others. A good move as the biscuits disappeared very quickly. It was a lovely day out, Kevin doing a great job as usual and I wish you, Kevin and everyone at Daytripper who work so hard for us, a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year.
Anna: Christmas Cruise 2019
Just a short note to say how much I loved Lord Howe island. The scenery was stunning. I enjoyed the boat trips and walks. The information sessions were interesting. The people were helpful. I needed a trip to the Doctors and was given a lift and asked if I needed one back. When I said I didn't Janine showed me a nice walk back. And as usual Kevin was very patient. I am looking forward to another trip. Thanks again.
Marian: Lord Howe Island 2019
We had the best day, sunshine, sat down eating little Dutch cakes (yummmmmm) listening to rather lovely music. I bought the cd. Back to being kids again, went for ride in the train, waved to everyone. Of course with Kevin the usual cheeky banter went on.

I have just returned from the Silo Art Trail trip (I was with the Probus group) and it exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with the way Daytrippers had organised to utilise the locals....from ladies providing scrumptious lunches and morning teas....to local guides explaining the Silo Art. Julie at Sealake was a powerhouse, and the unexpected view of the night sky with the visiting astronomer was magical. My travelling companion and I agreed we felt as if we were in an episode of Heather Ewart’s ‘Backroads’....and this trip shone a light on how hard the farmers have to work to simply make ends meet. Kevin, as usual, was the epitome of patience, and drove so well, despite often less than favourable weather conditions. Thanks from one happy customer!
Jill: Silo Art Trail 2019
A huge thank you to everyone at Daytrippers who were responsible for organising the Silos Art Trail Tour - yes, I absolutely loved last weeks trip. It was so very much more than I was expecting, and obviously carefully researched & planned to give us a real immersion into all the wonderful places we visited & warm country hospitality wherever we went. We saw great pride in their townships & communities, & determination to preserve all aspects of their history, which they share generously with visitors. The resourcefulness, ingenuity, hard work & willingness to pull together to survive & improve things for the community, was humbling. I found the trip eye opening, great fun & uplifting to the spirit. Kevin was the perfect tour leader-driver & much appreciated. A genuine peoples- person, he is knowledgeable, blessed with boundless energy, patient, knowledgeable, resourceful & good humoured. We were a group of seniors with varying degrees of mobility, diet requirements, quirks, & requests that cropped up - Kevin took all that into consideration - a great asset & credit to Daytrippers. Hope I travel with you again - Cheers !
Emese: Silo Art Trail 2019
Thank you sooo much for a great trip yesterday . Everyone, without exception, had a wonderful day. I have had phone calls and emails from our Probus club members to say what a good experience they had. Even visiting the city was something that some members don’t do these days. The commentary on the boat was very interesting and we learnt quite a bit. Of course the drivers were fabulous!! They looked after us very well.
Sherry (Local Probus Club): Yarra River Cruise 2019
Great trip yesterday. We had our first trip away with Daytripper to Canberra,Cooma etc in October to test the "waters!" so to speak and what a great time we had, Thanks to Kevin & his diligence & care. So yesterday to Evita was easy to choose. Once again another great time. It was a great adventure for me because the trip both in & out to the city was about seeing all the places where I lived & played as a younger person. Grace got sick of me telling her what I did there ...& there ,all the way from Moorabbin, to Brighton, Elwood St Kilda, and back home again. One way of reliving ones heyday just by busing it . Tell Kevin to keep up his hand strength to help me off the Bus! Thank you all again.
Thelma: Evita Matinee 2018
A terrific day was had by everyone ( 21 members of a Probus Club )who were on the trip. Kevin our driver looked after us to perfection, especially on our outward trip to Lower Tarwin, it rained which made it difficult for morning tea. Kevin, called into Coal Creek, he dashed inside at the Information Centre and ” Presto “ , we went inside to their Auditorium, where we had Morning tea in the Dry. The Tour of Tullaree was terrific, our host Tim was terrific in explaining the history of Tullarre and the events of “ THE LADY IN THE SWAMP “ . The tour of the Renovated Home was a delight and a credit to Tim and Janet. A great day out, A BIG Thank You ,to “ Day Tripper “
Dennis (Probus Club): Lady of the Swamp Day Trip - 2018
We had a wonderful and very interesting trip away, could not have been better. I asked people to write comments in a little book I had. What came up the most was apart from the spectacular scenery and interesting places and guides was the fun, laughter, companionship and how good Kevin was as our driver. Kevin, you also went to no end of trouble to find interesting places to take us to and tell us about. Also being obliging and kind in every way looking after us and taking us to one of the passengers house where she grew up. We all had a ball, I have had letters and emails telling me how wonderful it was all being away together and how well everyone got on.
Helen (Local Probus Club): Bright 2018
Meant to send this email on Wednesday after our trip to see "Beautiful" it was a fantastic show and we were very well looked after - having the lunch included is a great idea it was all so fresh and scrummy also it saves us looking around for somewhere to eat when we arrive at the Theatre so thank you so much
Wendy: Beautiful Matinee 2018
Yesterday we went to see Dream Lover. That was the beginning of a really lovely day. We were taken to Brighton gardens for lunch, a lovely lunch, very healthy I might add, where Kevin was the perfect host, looked after us very well. We were once again picked up and taken to the theatre, enjoyed the show immensely. We would, without hesitation recommend matinee days out with Day Tripper All in all a wonderful day. Thank you very much.
Erica: Dream Lover Matinee 2018
Congratulations and thanks to you and to Kevin for an absolutely superb day yesterday. From start to finish the occasion deserved 10/10 plus The fantastic chauffeur, the delicious lunch in beautiful surroundings, best seats in the house and a drive that was relaxing and enjoyable (for the passengers......congratulations to Kevin for navigating incredible traffic conditions). Again, thank you and well done.
Anne: My Fair Lady Matinee 2017
While I’m still on a high I want to say the Tassie trip was just great, I don’t know but each trip I do seems to be the best. I just love your trips and could not find anything to complain about, even when it rains Kevin all ways comes up with something. And i think Wade may have had a great time as well, even though we did keep him busy. Thanks once again guys you are the best.
Lynda: Tassie East Coast 2020
The trip was fantastic and the ferry across the bay was lovely. I had not done that before. Kevin as usual was his patient self. He organised the sun to come out while we were at the festival. The food was great and to have fresh fruit salad on the menu every night was a bonus. We did lots of interesting activities.
Marian: Ballarat Begonia Festival 2020
Well how lucky were we to be able to go on this tour in view of all the cancellations! I just wanted to thank you Kevin for all your attention to detail and, of course, safe driving. We both enjoyed all the scenic routes you took us on and the food, food, food. You certainly didn’t let us go hungry!😀 The Motel was excellent and the hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Then there was the Opera. What a wonderful night. Again we were so lucky with the weather. Everything was perfect. This had always been on my bucket list so now I can tick that off! Thanks again to you all for making these few days away so enjoyable.
