This was by far one of the best tours my husband and I ever have taken and we do a lot of traveling around the US. Jacki was our tour guide. She was extremely professional , lots of fun and very knowledgeable. We not only learned so much about Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse but she told us a lot about South Dakota. She went above and beyond to make sure we saw buffalo on our trip through Custer and we ended up seeing a herd that passed right by our vehicle. Another highlight was having lunch near a man made lake inside the park with fantastic views. It truly was a memorable experience.

My 8 year old boy’s favorite part of the tour was listening to Jamie’s facts and stories. Jamie was able to keep our entire family engaged and entertained while traveling between attractions. I would highly recommend Jamie as a tour guide.

Karen was a gem. It was our very first tour. She set the bar high for our future tour guides. She was kind and nurturing and so knowledgeable! She made sure that we stayed hydrated and planned carefully so that we avoided long lines. She was a positive and cheerful soul. We loved that she took time to shed light on all sides of historical and current politics. We loved the Black-hills and all of it’s treasures. My. Rushmore was breathtaking. It was a life event for sure!
