About Us

"You'll appreciate our quality, service and experience."

August 2000 saw the birth of a new motorcoach company in the Ft. Wayne area. Excursions Trailways was begun by Thomas Bazow and Patrick O’Brian. They saw a need to provide quality motorcoach service to the Ft. Wayne area. Their mission is to, “Give excellent customer service by providing clean, well maintained coaches and courteous, professional drivers.”

Since the Fall of 2000, Excursions, Inc. has grown from one coach to seven luxury Prevost motorcoaches. Each coach is equipped with: Cell Phone, DVD, CD, and VCR players, and a clean restroom. Most coaches can have one or two tables added if desired by the group. All of the coaches are 1999 - 2010. We also have one coach which is wheelchair accessible. In October of 2007 we purchased another motorcoach company in Ottawa, OH. We have 4 VanHool motorcoaches at the Ohio location which are 1999 to 2005.
