Golden West Tours offers small, personalised day tours that bring the stories, landmarks and local characters of Longreach to life with genuine outback hospitality. Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Brett and Kathy Hintz, the boutique company draws on more than 20 years of professional guiding experience each to showcase their hometown with warmth, humour and deep local knowledge.​

Tours travel in a comfortable small luxury vehicle, keeping group sizes intimate so guests can ask questions, hear the commentary clearly and enjoy plenty of personal attention along the way. As you explore Longreach and its surrounds, you’ll gain insight into the area’s history, community and way of life, from pioneering days through to the vibrant outback town it is today.​

Golden West Tours is perfectly placed to connect you with Longreach’s many attractions, including iconic experiences such as the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum, Thomson River cruises, Cobb & Co stagecoach rides, station visits, the Longreach School of Distance Education, the Powerhouse Museum and local arts and crafts. Your guides can help you understand how these pieces fit together, sharing stories that you simply won’t find in a brochure.​

Longreach itself is a thriving Central West Queensland hub of around 2,500 people, with friendly eateries, country pubs, cafés, shops and essential services that make it easy to settle in for a few days. Golden West Tours adds an extra layer to that experience, helping you see beyond the main street and connect with the real town that locals love.​

With a focus on local knowledge, historical detail, entertaining commentary and old-fashioned personal service, Golden West Tours invites you to “let us show you our town” and experience Longreach in a relaxed, informed and memorable way.
