ABOUT US
Potter Travel has been creating memorable travel experiences since the early 1990s, beginning under the guidance of founders Bert and Michael Potter with Potter Travel, and Frank Howe with Tour Marvel. From those early days, the business has grown into one of the leading providers of day tours and extended touring holidays in the Canberra region, as well as club and group tours for travellers from Sydney and the NSW South Coast.
Just as Bert and Frank believed when they first started their businesses, we know that the real success of Potter Travel comes from the people who choose to travel with us—and then travel with us again. We’re proud to have built a loyal community of travellers who value comfort, great service, and carefully planned itineraries.
In August 2023, Potter Travel was purchased by Deanes Coaches Group, which is continuing the strong foundations of quality, care, and reliability that have defined the business for decades.
Deanes Coaches Group is a trusted name in transport across Canberra and the Snowy Mountains. This change in ownership strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional touring experiences, backed by a long-standing reputation for safety, comfort, and professionalism. Deanes operates a fleet of over 30 coaches throughout the region, servicing schools, government departments, travel agencies along with providing contract services to the Snowy 2.0 project and operating the Canberra to Sydney Coach Service on behalf of Flixbus.
