5.00Chris was on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. The car was clean and comfortable. We were offered as much time as we needed at each stop to fully enjoy our tour. This was a wonderfully memorable experience!

5.00This tour was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish!! A bucket list item for many years and we were not disappointed!! Our guide, Chris, was exceptional..request him!! His voice alone was worth the price of admission. He needs to be on the radio! He is very professional and beyond knowledgeable about the area! He took us to places off the beaten path and away from the crowds to get the best kept secret views and pictures of Mount Rushmore and very little crowds. There is nothing better than doing the unexpected and ours happened to be feeding a field of donkeys carrots and apples. Highly recommended must do while in this beautiful and historical area!!

5.00John was absolutely amazing! This tour, though expensive, is definitely worth it: in more than 8 hours we drove through the most beautiful and meaningful areas of the Black Hills, and all at our own pace, with no pressure. John was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable on all aspects, from geology to history, to mother nature's miracles. Exploring up close Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments and hearing their stories was inspiring. In Custer State Park we spotted up close hundreds of bisons, a coyote, many groundhogs, pronghorns... The beauty of all of this will stay in us for a long, long time.
Great Experience

5.00The tour was fantastic! The guide was great: knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He told the history of the area and the monument along with the geological formations. He led us to the best viewing areas and explained changes at Crazy Horse that he had seen in just one year and why things were happening. Overall a great experience. I highly recommend this tour
Great site highlights in South Dakota

5.00Great day with Chris on our first trip to South Dakota. He was entertaining and knowledgable about our tour including Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. He hit the highlights but gave us opportunities to explore on our own. We highly recommend GeoFun. It certainly was fun for us!
