What To Expect
Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Make the very most of your time and visit the famous faces at Mount Rushmore with an expert! Take your time enjoying all that the National Monument has to offer; museums, trails, gift stores - even Thomas Jefferson's family ice-cream recipe! Our guide will talk you through the building of the project, its place in history and a local's perspective. We normally spend between 1hour 1.5 hours here.
Iron Mountain Road
Iron Mountain Road is a Black Hills experience not worth missing! This famous scenic route was built especially to compliment Mt Rushmore. Enjoy the perfectly framed tunnels facing the faces, and the pigtail bridges. We make our way to the top of Peter Norbeck Overlook for a spectacular view of the Black Hills.

5.00Best way to enjoy the twisty Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Rd. See the views without turning the steering wheel. All the sites included in this tour are exceptional, including viewing wild animals in Custer Park. Driver was knowledgeable and pleasant with many of her own anecdotes to share.
Great tour experience

5.00We did a half day tour of Mount Rushmore with our guide Denise. The day was full of interesting information and experiences. Denise went out of her way and spent extra time with us to give us ideas on what to see in our time in South Dakota. I highly recommend this tour!
