Tour was informative and a lot of fun. Duration included an old movie for about an hour but it gets you in and you want to see the end. We did the 9am so having scones just after breakfast was a bit too much but if we’d have known we could have planned better. Overall a great experience and is definitely something worth doing.
Loved travelling in a coach and the informative information around other carriages and their history from the 1900's Thought the movie would have been more directed to the history of travel from the era. Highly recommend the experience of stagecoach travel.. you need to do it to appreciate it..
We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it. The stagecoach ride was a real highlight. I rode shotgun at the back and my friend rode with the driver - so volunteer if you get the opportunity! The morning tea was tasty and we were truly surprised by the movie and had plenty of laughs. Don't leave it to the last minute - book in advance so you don't miss out.
This was such a wonderful back in the day experience. Congratulations to all the staff of this family run business, for giving us such an enjoyable experience. We would definately recommend to family & friends.
pretty cool experience to do. The Town Crier who welcomed us was really funny and entertaining while doing his stuff.
The guide for the Cobb and Cobb Stagecoach ride was very informative but kept their voice at one tone. You could tell everything was scripted and they didn't venture off the script which was disappointing. While we all enjoy history it also helps sell the whole deal if you add your own flare to it. It was about just doing what was required and that was it. The scones with jam and cream were amazing and they cater for gluten free. Bit of a tip if you're not leaving town on the same day, book the later ride otherwise you're standing around killing time till everyone else is done before you do the final part of the tour.
Entertaining, enjoyable (especially when your wife gets to sit with the driver). The movie at the end takes you back to your childhood, great Aussie classic).

Sounds like you both had a terrific time! We’re glad the experience brought plenty of laughs and a touch of nostalgia. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed every part of the morning, and we appreciate you sharing your experience.
The coach was a lot of fun - kids loved it! Smoko (scones, jam & cream) was delicious. They also did a presentation talk about olden days followed by real lemonade - very good. The movie - Smilie gets a gun - in the old canvas seat cinema was wonderful - kids absolutely loved it. Overall a 10/10.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
There’s nothing better than seeing kids having such a great time. We’re delighted the whole family enjoyed the experience, and it’s wonderful to know the stagecoach ride, smoko and old-time cinema seats all made for such a memorable morning. Thanks for the 10/10!
Staff have a great sense of humour and look to love their job. Really enjoyed everything, was a little waiting time between your sections and I had expected the coach ride to be longer, however thoroughly loved it
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We’re so pleased you had such an enjoyable morning with us. It’s wonderful to hear our crew’s enthusiasm and sense of humour added to the experience. We appreciate your feedback about the timing between activities and the length of the coach ride—it’s always helpful as we continue to refine the experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back to Longreach again soon.
It was a great experience. The guide was knowledge and interesting. It was fun riding in the carriage.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We’re delighted you enjoyed your visit with us. It’s wonderful to hear the stories and insights from our guide helped bring the experience to life, and that you had fun aboard the stagecoach. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope to welcome you back for more Outback adventures in the future.
Only on coach for about 30min,headphones old and hardly work movie after of no relevance except it was old
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry some aspects of the experience weren’t what you were expecting. The stagecoach ride follows the advertised 6 km route, which takes around 30 minutes, and the film, Smiley Gets a Gun, is a much-loved Australian bush classic with strong Outback connections. Shown in our traditional canvas-seat cinema, it’s a nostalgic glimpse into simpler times that many guests enjoy. We also appreciate your comments about the headphones and will pass them on to our crew.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this tour it won’t disappoint … from the tall tails the dry sense of humour or tales of old u will enjoy every part of this day
There is the stagecoach ride to the common and all other activities are at the pick up venue. Movie was good and we were inside for the coach ride so not really that dusty. Scones were very nice. Tent show missed the mark.
Great experience riding in a Cobb and Co coach. Morning tea of fresh scones. An old time tent show and old movie
We enjoyed the coach tour especially when the horses got into a gallop. We also enjoyed the show, really the whole experience.

It's amazing to hear your stagecoach ride was enjoyable. Thank you so much for rating us five stars. We truly appreciate it!
A fantastic coach ride with the driver sharing a lot of information. I like the tent show and morning tea and I learned a lot about working sheep dogs. The Chips Raffety film was a lot of fun.

Thank you for your 5-star review! We're glad to hear your experience was enjoyable
Where else can you and your loved one, ride in an authentic Cobb & Co stage coach? Not many places within Australia, I can tell you, but in Longreach Central Queensland! Using genuine stage coaches and driving practices of the day, you get to experience the comfort, or somewhat ruggedness, of the old stage coaches of the past. Highly skilled drivers take eager eyed passengers, through the streets of Longreach, then weather permitting, take you out onto the Common, for some high speed galloping across the plains. History in today's world!!

On the Cobb & Co Stagecoach, there's plenty of opportunity to experience the bull dust. We're glad you enjoyed it, and ticked it off your bucket list!
The stagecoach ride was the highlight of the tour and the scones were delicious. The whole package was well worth the money.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We're glad you had such a wonderful experience, and enjoyed our homemade scones! Thanks for visiting us.
Yell out shot gun before the driver asks what a shame it should really be like a raffle please. Other than that it was a fantastic experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

We all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. It was absolutely fabulous if we go to Longreach again, we will definitely do it again
The whole experience of riding in a Cobb and Co stagecoach. My 11 year old grandson loved it. The staff was amazing. The experience was amazing.
The skill and professionalism of the staff, especially the teamster and assistant.
The excellent pre-ride scones and tea. The Harry Redford Show was hilarious and the Billy Can lunch satisfying.

We're so pleased you had a great time on your Cobb & Co Stagecoach Experience and the Old Time Tent Show. Thank you for leaving a great review!
Meeting with other like minded people and the ride back in time on the coach, having a chat over a cuppa and scone and then relaxing watching a dated but enjoyable movie followed by an old time tent show.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
