Full circle tour - Our driver/guide was informative and entertaining, but also gave us down time so we weren't overwhelmed! He took great photos too! A very memorable day!

Fantastic - One of the best tours I've been on. Incredible value. Access to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and state park. So professional, friendly, knowledgeable and good natured. There's no way going by car and doing this yourself would be anywhere near as good. It's a no brainer. Book this.

Nice to not have to drive - This was a very pleasant experience, our driver David was great! A good way to see many sights without having to drive and find things on our own.

Mount Rushmore bus trip - Billy was a great driver and guide he had a lot of great information to share. Dinner and show at the end of the trip was a great end to the day.

Great driver, fun but terrible breakfast. - 5 stars to the driver Bill Martin and one star for the breakfast. Burnt sausage, weird bacon with biscuits and gravy.

Great tour - Tour was great and our driver was very knowledgeable about every place we visited. He also manoeuvred the tight tunnels and roads very well.

A great day out with a Christian slant - Sightseeing was great with time at main attractions of Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial. Lunch at lodge was a captive audience. No food except for $25 banquet ( price unknown until we got on bus) and this was a bit of a shock when budgeting for travel. Boarding time on bus was stated as 45 mins beforehand- why? Ten minutes before boarding would be ample. We didn’t realise that we had booked a Christian bus tour- none of this was stated in the information. Driver also was a pastor and occasionally took his hands off the wheel and swerved by cars . An experienced guide it was all part of his commentary but was a bit disconcerting. He told stories , gave information and told jokes which made the tour enjoyable. He also gave us great photo tips and stopped at advantageous points along the way. Everyone was given a chance to take photos of the lake or needles along the way. This is great taster of the area and there was information on what to do in the area. We weren’t a great fan of his singing and all the information made reference to American songs or shows that we were not necessarily privy to. It was very much centred on American tourists, rather than international visitors but that was ok. On departure we were given a Christian sermon which was unexpected! Apart from this it was a very enjoyable if long day that took you to all of the major sights, apart from the Badlands.

A Day at Mt Rushmore,area overview. - This bus tour had a great mix including some meals touring and entertainment. It began with pancake sausage breakfast at an antique old style staged village of western life way back . Details include Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse areas as well as the wilderness/ forest region. The bus tour driver Pastor Bill added much to our day together. Many fun filled historic facts/fictional embellishments were provided along with quality and professional driving. A sufficient amount of time at key stops was allowed and the driver assisted in offering many photo ops. Country western style dinner did not include any vegetarian option but the other fixens were adequate. The band played for the entertainment to end the day. The tour gives a very good overview for out of towners making for a fun filled day.
