We were unable to complete the Mt Rushmore tour, due to our physical incapabilities. However the part we did was excellent and the monument itself was awesome-inspiring. The badlands was better than expected and full of beauty. The audio tour was very helpful and provided lots of interesting information.

Sheryl, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed my Badlands and Mount Rushmore GPS Audio Tour Bundle. I’m happy the Mount Rushmore experience left such a positive impression, and it’s great to know the Badlands’ beauty surpassed your expectations. I’m thrilled the audio narration enhanced your visit with interesting stories and information. If you're planning more South Dakota adventures, check out my Black Hills and More tours. Happy exploring!
The audio guides were good and informative. For Mt Rushmore there wasn’t much to tell so it was short. Badlands could have been better like tell about the different animals other than that it was quite informative

Marianne, I’m glad to hear you found my Badlands and Mount Rushmore Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle informative and enjoyable overall. I appreciate your feedback about wanting more on the local wildlife — that’s a great suggestion, and I’ll share it with my team for future updates. As for Mount Rushmore, it’s a shorter loop, so the narration mainly focuses on the monument’s history and key stories. Still, I’m happy it added value to your visit. If you’re planning more trips, check out my 30+ National Parks Bundle, which includes tours of the Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and more. Happy travels!
We especially enjoyed the Badlands guided tour. At Mt. Rushmore, it was difficult to listen amongst large groups of fellow tourists. We should have brought ear buds for that one.

Mary, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed my Badlands and Mount Rushmore audio tours. Understandably, it was more difficult to hear at Mount Rushmore with the large crowds. I always suggest bringing headphones or earbuds for walking tours, as they help block out distractions from surrounding noise. For a smoother experience, especially at busy sites, earbuds can make a big difference. Thanks for sharing your experience, and I hope you had a fantastic time at both locations!
Audio tour was especially helpful and informative while touring the Badlands. Came in with info at all the right times

Trip to the Badlands and to Mount Rushmore was the best - we are traveling with a pet so the audio fir both was an added treat and was exceptional. It really enhanced our experience and we will use it again for Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
