A well thought-out experience with not only the stagecoach ride, but additional entertainment and an option for lunch. We enjoyed the day.
You must ride the Cobb & Co Coach!

Getting to ride beside the coachdriver! My only constructive critism, is the ride could've gone longer & the movie shorter! Otherwise, very enjoyable!
Coach ride, morning tea...

Coach ride, morning tea and lunch were excellent. Show was too long. Edit out 20 minutes. Film was interesting.
A great experience !!

Riding on the top of the stagecoach was awesome, especially when the h I rses galloped. The scones jam and cream were great. The movie was so good, and the tent show was so funny.

Disappointed
Alison_C, Aug 2023
I was lucky enough to sit up the back but my husband was inside with the other 7 people, way to many. Not happy with sitting for an hour watching a movie we all saw 50 years ago. We missed the tent show as we left the tickets in the van, the scones were nice but that should have been in the bush setting before the stage coach returned. We expected a longer ride for the price.
A good addition to things to do in Longreach

Stage coach ride was interesting but inside carriage made it hard to really appreciate the experience. Movie was very reminiscent and the live show was very entertaining. Gluten free scones exceptional.
Some of it went on too long.
Kevin_S, Aug 2023
The movie was pointless. The tent show went on way too long. Not that funny either.
The stagecoach run was not long enough funnily.
Hard to understand the soft tones of Wade also. Needs to speak up a bit.
Fantastic experience
Stephen_B, Aug 2023
Everything really. The coach ride especially and we were surprised just how fast we went when they were put to a gallop!
Fun times
