Fantastic Trip!

5.00Jeff was incredible. His deep knowledge added so much to our trip, and we loved how he tailored every detail to us. Even when the weather didn’t cooperate, he reshuffled the itinerary so we could return to Mount Rushmore and catch it in perfect conditions. Truly worth every penny.
Mt Rushmore. Exceptional

5.00We enjoyed and appreciated all the unique special details that our tour guide pointed out, e.g., the tunnels that framed Mt Rushmore, explaining the design and naming of the pigtail bridges, and sharing her life experiences growing up in the area. Totally a fun day for us. We saw our first ever pronghorn antelope and prairie dogs. Nature is so beautiful!

5.00My wife and I spent the day with our guide Terry, and visited Mt Rushmore, Needles Hwy, Sylvan Lake, Crazy Horse Monument, and Custer St Park. Terry was extremely engaging and knowledgeable throughout the entire day. He picked us up at 8:30a and dropped us back at our hotel at 6:00p - he would have happily extended our tour even longer if we had asked. Definitely a great value for a private tour. Mt Rushmore & Crazy Horse exceeded our expectations, they were fantastic! Eating our picnic lunch with Terry at Sylvan Lake on a comfortably sunny 50 F day surrounded by the day before's newfallen snow was certainly a highlight. Newborn buffalo calves and the baby burro on the Custer wildlife loop were a perfect way to end the day. We would not hesitate to book with Black Hills Tour Company again.
Thanks Joel

5.00Fantastic tour guide, Jennifer! Very knowledgeable of all places we went to. Mt. Rushmore was so impressive. It takes your breath away! Patriotism at it's best. We were unable to see Crazy Horse as the weather did not cooperate, rain and fog. The museum was very nice. Custer State Park was also very foggy but we were able to see some buffalo. The Needles was an amazing trip! The views were breathtaking.
Joel was extremely knowledgeable and informative. The tour exceeded both our expectations and I would recommend 10/10
