Absolutely amazing tour and guide

5.00We had the private monument and Custer state park private tour. It was absolutely amazing. My husband didn't have to drive so could also enjoy the amazing views and sites. The knowledge of our tour guide, Aura, was incredible. Had we gone out on our own, we would have not gotten all of the added knowledge. She knew exactly where the perfect stops were, and we could not believe the knowledge she had. Not only about the monuments, about the area, the geography, the animals, the trees, everything about the crazy horse and mountain t Rushmore background. I could go on and on about all the knowledge she shared. and we also had a built in photographer! We stopped at a new restaurant in Keystone, which was provided as part of our tour, an it was really good. Even at every visitor center she walked us around and personally showed us everything and added much more than what was displayed. She picked us up at our hotel at 8am sharp. We were supposed to return around 5pm. At one point she asked if we had to get back for anything. Which we didn’t. We got back at 6! The great: expert and knowledge guide, convenience of getting to enjoy it all without having to drive everywhere, the monuments, especially crazy horse, and all the wildlife at Custer state park, needles highway and driving through the tunnels. We have nothing to rate less than great. Thank you Aura for an amazing experience!!
Fantastic

5.00Our visit to South Dakota was wonderful, largely due to the 3 day private tour we booked with Black Hills Adventure Tours! Our tour guide Jamie was outstanding!! Extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and fun to be with! He accommodated all of our requests and made suggestions that made our time when not on tour so much better. Great experience and we highly recommend!!!

5.00A group of friends spent seven days in SD. We booked three private tours for every other day, which included Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer’s State Park; the Badlands; and Devils Tower, Spearfish Canyon and Deadwood. Our tour guide Jamie was phenomenal! His background, knowledge, and flexibility made our trip engaging fun, and memorable. Jamie exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend booking tours through Black Hills Adventure Tours. Great experience!

5.00Mark was an excellent guide that is very knowledgeable on the history of the area. Answered even some of the most niche questions we could have asked. He also has a great personality and was a great person to have spent the day with. Loved the experience, needles highway was probably my favorite part personally. 10/10 day, highly recommend asking for Mark for your tour!
Amazing experience
