5.00Our tour guide, Jacki, was amazing!!! She took me (F, 61), my daughter (F, 32), and grandson (M, 10) on the Flume Trail. It was just perfect--beautiful SD woodlands, some steep slopes, Sheridan Lake, bridges, and tunnels. It was also a historical site as this was an early gold mining site; it complemented an excursion we took later in the week where we panned for gold. The site allowed us to imagine the hard labor that these miners experienced. The aroma of the trees was incredible. Jacki was a fabulous guide who was able to connect with each of us; and had a wealth of information to share. She even shared a bird app with my grandson (the avid bird watcher). And, that was just the morning. The afternoon was spent on a private guided tour through Custer State Park where we saw so many bison and newborns; it was incredible. For a point of reference, we took another tour of Custer State Park later in the week on a bigger bus with more people. Honestly, this trip is the way to go because we saw so much more. We could not have been more pleased with this tour--well worth the money.
Two great days touring the Black Hills with Jamie!

5.00Our amazing guide Rose knew the park as well as the animals, where to find them in numbers and at the perfect time of day. Buffalo, elk, free-range donkeys ... even the coyotes and marmots co-operated. The degree of difficulty for the hikes was up to us and Rose, an avid walker herself, catered them to our ability. She also had some surprise stops that highlight the region's amazing geological features, which were a perfect sidebar to both the magnificent creatures we encountered and the rich history of the native population, Custer and his original expedition. A bonus was visiting a couple of lodges in the park, including Calvin Coolidge's 'summer White House'.
Best decision we made!!!

5.00It was the best decision we made to take the tour with Mike and Black Hills Adventure Tours. We felt we would miss out if we did it ourselves and boy were we right. It was so informative and fun. Thank you Mike, you made the trip even more amazing !!

5.00Purchasing this tour was the Best thing we could have done, especially since we had no idea where to start with our first trip out to Mt. Rushmore! Our guide, Mark Barker, was extremely knowledgeable of the area and accommodated our needs for hiking and the Safari. Highly recommend Mark as a guide for any adventure! We will be back!
Best tour guide ever!!
