O’Shannessy’s Quality Tours is celebrating 40 years in the coach touring industry in 2025. Our company, renowned for its high standards of customer service and touring excellence, began in the 1980s with founders Laurie and Margaret O’Shannessy. Back in those early days, they traveled across Australia’s vast outback in their Denning coach, with Margaret preparing hearty breakfasts for their passengers and Laurie sharing his passion for the country’s landscape. Their commitment to providing an unforgettable experience laid the foundation for the company’s enduring success.
Fast forward to today, and O’Shannessy’s Quality Tours is still a family-run business, now headed by Laurie’s son Chris and his wife Bernadette. The company remains based in Rye, Victoria, and is supported by a third generation of the O’Shannessy family. Their four children, Josephine, Liam, Toby, and Casey, have all contributed to the business, either working in the office or serving as Tour Directors. This family involvement ensures that the core values of exceptional service and memorable travel experiences remain central to the company’s operations.
