Tour worth taking - Great tour. Chris was very informative and easy to work with. Saw some interesting sites and took a lot of pictures. Custer Park was beautiful, Mt Rushmore was worth the trip and Crazy Horse was fun to see the progress.

A+ tour guide! - Our tour guide, Chris, of GeoFunTrek Tours made our personalized trip fun, educational, comfortable, and truly memorable. Being a local, he knew how to show us the amazing sights we came to see but without the crowds. His knowledge of history, geology, folklore, as well as local eateries, was top notch. (Safe driver, too!) We highly recommend GeoFunTrek Tours!

An incredible day at Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park - John is the best tour guide for Mount Rushmore and used to work as a guide for the park. He knows all the best photo spots and is happy to oblige being the family photographer to capture these moments for us. The drive thru the Black Hills was incredible. He describes the geography and geologic topography to make the land really come alive. He teaches about the local culture and quotes poetry from local poet Badger Clark, which was a nice added touch. Also went to Crazy Horse monument to learn about Native Americans and drove thru the beautiful Custer State Park. Saw tons of bison and adorable prairie dogs. So lucky to see the natural wildlife up close and personal. It was a very special day for us, and John was patient and informative. We learned a lot and made very special memories. We are grateful and lucky to have him as our guide. You can’t go wrong with him!

Best way to see the Monuments- Worth very bit of the price plus some! - Wonderful tour! Chris was a phenomenal tour guide- he has so much personal knowledge of the area and the history of the Parks. Even with watching the park presentations and reading at the exhibits, Chris had more insights and history to add! Having someone that knew the roads drive and watch traffic & pedestrians was wonderful- especially on a wet, rainy day! My husband and I were both able to look around and see the amazing views though out the Needles Hwy as well as Custer SP. Chris knew where to check for info on the Bison sightings for the day we were there, so we actually saw a massive herd! There was no rush, we were able to spend as much time as we wanted in each of the Monuments! He stopped for pictures whenever we wanted and had suggestions for really excellent spots as well. This was worth every bit of the price and more. Thank you GeoFunTrek for being the best part of our trip!
