Our tour itineraries are relaxing but always interesting; we believe in seeing places properly, not rushing through; this means our tours leave you feeling like you have really seen, experienced and explored each destination.
Our flexible booking policy sets us apart. If a tour is cancelled by O’Shannessy’s Quality Tours for any reason, you have the option of transferring to another tour, leaving the funds on hold for a future tour of your choosing with no time limit, or you can take a full refund, but the choice is always yours. Travel Insurance is available through our office for all tour departures. You can continue to book with confidence.
As a thank you to our returning travellers, you receive a saving on your second and all subsequent tours with us and over time the more you travel the greater the saving.

The O’Shannessy family involvement in the travel industry dates back to 1967 when Laurie O’Shannessy began a school bus service in Central Victoria. In 1985 Laurie and his wife Margaret moved to the Mornington Peninsula, to expand their school bus services. They saw a demand for high quality Coach Touring and established O’Shannessy’s Tours. The personally conducted tours proved to be very popular and within a short time Laurie and Margaret were touring all over Australia. From a relatively young age Chris O’Shannessy learned the tours from his father and began working in the business driving the tour coaches.
When Laurie and Margaret retired from touring in 1997, Chris and (now wife) Bernadette continued to expand the business, offering more tour destinations and introducing some international tours.
Today O’Shannessy’s Quality Tours’ main office is situated at Rye on the Mornington Peninsula, where you are more than welcome to call in for a cuppa and meet our friendly team.
