Tour guide TJ was great. Seeing Rushmore at dark under the lights was amazing. The preprogram was very well done

The lighting ceremony for Mt. Rushmore was profoundly moving. Made us feel grateful and proud to be Americans. We wish more people could experience this.

Watch weather and dress in layers. A flashlight is handy. Enjoyed the park drive, very special at night.

Very enjoyable tour! TJ was an amazing guide who made the tour special by sharing his vast knowledge of Mt. Rushmore and the black hills. Views of Mt. Rushmore from a distance at night was fascinating. Iron mountain road, the pigtails and tunnels were all great!

Great way to first visit Mount Rushmore. Able to look around and then enjoy lighting ceremony. Then drive on mountain and stop and star gaze.

We thoughly enjoyed our trip, of course MT Rushmore is pretty remarkable to start with. TJ our guide was entertaining and knowledgable. We really enjoyed the night sky viewing. My one gripe was that the windshield and side windows were dirty and when on a sight seeing tour, one would expect a clear view.

We enjoyed the experience. Our only criticism is that the windows/ windshield were not cleaned. It was nice to have the roof retractable so we could see the stars. Our guide, TJ shared a wealth of information and experiences.
