Testimonials
Debbie and staff, home two days from our “Gold West Explorer Trip”. We enjoyed everything about the trip, always so good to get out to the country, although we wish could send them some Rain. Peter did an excellent job, very pleasant organised and with so much information to give. Things went very smoothly. The motels were chosen well, meals varied and very good indeed. So bouquet to On Course and Peter for a great trip. We have been with you before and no doubt will do so again.
Regards, Ian
Just wanted to make comment about your a driver, Hans. What a treasure he is, a real asset to your company. Polite, attentive to detail, nothing was too much trouble, even when one of the group forgot her medication. Funny, relaxed and easy to be with and a good considerate driver. The coach was exceptional as well, extremely comfortable and roomy, especially for those of us with long legs.
