Upon arrival, you’ll explore the memorial in person. You’ll hear the deeper stories of engineering challenges, the unfinished chamber behind the faces, tools still embedded in the granite, and the human drama behind the carving of the mountain itself.

Watching the sculpture emerge from darkness into light is a powerful and reflective moment. You'll return through the quiet Black Hills with memories lingering long after the lights fade.

Awesome bus tour

This bus tour covered all of the areas that were of interest to us. Our bus driver, Ken, was phenomenal. He was the best of the best! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Andria_P, Jun 2026

Ken is the best “2nd Best” Driver 😂

If you are on the fence about this tour, just do it! Ken was an excellent tour guide. The breakfast and dinner show was also awesome! The only complaint that we have is at Mt. Rushmore, we did not get to see the show or the exhibits. Although, we did do the hike and pictures with the flags. The Needles Highway with the tunnels was amazing. Glad I was not driving. Crazy Horse was also very impressive. You will not be disappointed with this tour!

Fantastic tour in the Black Hills

From start to finish was a great tour. Beautiful boss, great and entertaining driver. We learned a lot we saw a lot that we never would’ve been able to do on our own. They gave us just the right amount of time to see Mount Rushmore, crazy horse, and Sylvan Lake. The lunch stop was good and everything was timed very well. I highly recommend this Tour.
