It was a great experience. Everyone in the group were punctual and fun. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave great stories about the places

AWESOME! Not much else to say. Anyone who is anywhere near here needs to visit this historical landmark. Easy access with lots of parking. Only suggestion is to come early in the morning (we got there at 0730) to take advantage of the morning light on the monument…and lack of people!

The tour was very educational and fun. The trip on a whole was very enjoyable. I learned a lot about Rapid City and really learned a lot about the monument s and Custer state park.

A great and wonderful guided tour. Our guide, Neal, gave us very interesting informations. We stopped for 1h15 at Mount Rushmore and it’s beautiful; we stopped 1h15 at Crazy Horse and took the bus ride to see the memorial closer (it worths the 5$ it costs), we had an hour lunch break at Custer; and after lunch it was a bus ride in Custer state park where we saw more than a hundred of bisons, antilopes, prairie dogs, deers and horses; with stops to watch documentary or to take pictures,… We had a wonderful day, cold bottle of water and choice of light snacks. Thank you Neal for a SUPER guided tour! It worths every penny

You will learn more about the history and understand how these things came to happen with the tour then you'll ever learn on your own

Great trip with a great guide! Only had one day for tourism, so was thrilled to find a tour that accepted solo travelers and had so much included. Next time I’m swinging through with the family we’ll probably just book this exact excursion for the whole group.

Neil and Becky were great tour guides as they were very knowledgeable about the area and happy to answer any questions. They also made a point of finding out where wildlife could be spotted so that I could see as much as possible. We covered a huge amount of ground in one day, always with plenty of time to visit the sights. Seeing a herd of bison was a thrill. The scenery in the Black Hills is very beautiful and the towns historic. This trip is excellent value for money and really enjoyable.
