Excellent Tour - I would highly recommend this tour. Bec, our guide was awesome. Lots of local knowledge on anything from geology to agronomy to the dinosaurs. She’s very passionate about it all which makes the tour even more interesting.
Morning tea - lunch and afternoon tea were all fantastic.
They pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation which makes things even more convenient.
Don’t go past Red Dirt Tours on your next visit to Winton. A trip we will always remember. Thanks Red Dirt Tours.

As above - Bec was truly amazing, friendly, great sense of humour and so knowledgeable about everything to do with Winton and surrounds not just dinosaurs and the Stampede.
So much better than driving out there ourselves ! Very well worth it! Thank you Red Dirt Tours

Interesting window onto Australian dinosaurs, great scenery. - Bec is a really good guide. I thoroughly enjoyed her running commentary over the few days I travelled with her (1/2 day to AAOD and 3/4 day to Dinosaur Stampede). She’s extremely knowledgeable about the area, the geology, the wildlife, the palaeontology. She worked at the AAOD for many years before tour guiding for Red Dirt Tours. Her heart is absolutely in this area.

Dinosaur Footprints! - This tour was great, Bec was an excellent guide, incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area, totally happy to stop along to way to check out it the local wildlife, sometimes backtracking to get a good view
The bus is a big modern and comfortable 4x4 bus, carefully driven across the rugged terrain to a very modern facility housing the world’s only dinosaur stampede.
Jon, our guide while at the display, is very passionate about what the does and loves to share his knowledge on to topic before showing you the main event, over 3k dinosaur footprints which really makes you think and visualise the time these ancient beings were around
10/10 great tour, would recommend

Stampede and native fauna - The tour guides, Ange and Bec were knowledgeable and friendly. They drove very carefully and happy to turn around for any fauna sightings on the way which were numerous as they were able to pick up fauna that I would have missed. They discussed the flora and fauna on the way and so the long trip was interesting. At the Stampede we had lunch which was enjoyable. I could not have asked for more from the tour. I can thoroughly recommend it.
