The Best of South Dakota - Our tour guide Chris was very knowledgeable giving us a thorough background on all sites we visited. This tour can be tailored to your individual needs. We were given ample time at each site, had time for shopping and lunch. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Wonderful experience! - Cindy was so kind and knowledgeable, she made the entire day a success- she took us to a little jewel for lunch called Nana’s place. Make sure you ask for her. You won’t regret it!

Special private tour of Mt Rushmore - Outstanding experience that covered all 3 of the primary sites we wanted to see and have a guided tour with depth: Rushmore, Cazy Horse and Custer State Park we saw areas we would never have known about without Chis’ knowledge. We saw areas herd of bison that was in the hundreds, right next to the road in Custer State Park. The personal tour with just my wife and I was relaxing and very enjoyable, worth the investment and a highlight of our vacation.

Loved our tour - John provided both an educational and unforgettable experience at Mt Rushmore. We are so glad we booked our visit with an experienced guide who elevated the whole day for us. It is worth the price of admission.

Incredibly Wonderful Experience! - Incredibly wonderful experience! Chris is a very experienced tour guide who adjusted plans to accommodate my husband's limitations. We were able to see so much in 9 hours! And even though my husband couldn't keep up, he absolutely loved what he could do while I was able to experience a bit more. This tour gets my highest praise!
