Created great memories!

Published on Oct, 2024

Joel was an outstanding tour guide! He took us to places we would not have found on our own. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot. We got to see more wildlife than we expected. He was also a great photographer and not only knew the great photo spots but also taught us some new photography tricks. I highly recommend this tour!

So glad we decided to do this!

This was an amazing day! Our guide, Jennifer, was fantastic. For context, deciding to fly to South Dakota and do this tour took quite some consideration. As Australians, our exchange rate makes everything we do over here so expensive as we only get around $0.64USD for every $1.00AUD. So firstly it was very costly to fly in to Rapid City - $500AUD per person. Tours also convert to over $500AUD per person. So that's $2000AUD before any accommodation or meals - but this is something we have always wanted to do so we spent the money, hoping it would be worth it and we wouldn't regret our decision. Well, we were not disappointed! It was was everything we were hoping for. Jennifer was so friendly and knowledgeable, offering to shorten or lengthen any parts of the tour we wanted to while also taking photos of us and taking the time to point out lots of extra interesting pieces of information. If you've been wondering if this tour is worth doing, it absolutely is. It was a full day - 8:30am pick-up and 5:00pm drop-off and we saw so much. The complimentary bottled water and snacks were appreciated as we opted to not waste our time buying lunch. We wanted to use every minute to explore, photograph and appreciate the grandeur of the sites and stops. Thank you again Jennifer for a wonderful day!

See the landmarks with Jennifer...

Jennifer was our private tour guide and she was the best! We saw everything we wanted to see...Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sylvan Lake and Custer State Park. She was knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and so personable. If we go back, I will definitely request her again.

Fantastic tour led by a fantatic guide....

Overall, Black Hills Tour Company proves to be the best based on my experience. Without Melissa helping me out on the internet side, I would have never gotten this tour started. What can I say? Fantastic tour led by a fantastic guide!! Joel proves himself to be a total expert on the Black Hils.....in all aspects. His attention to detail, consideration toward me and my friend and the easy way he guides us through the maze that is Black Hills proves to be wonderful. When you got a great guide, it makes the tour that much easier and more enjoyable. It also helped that we had a great pleasant day to see the Black Hills. Everything helps!!! Oh yeah, when you guys read this, please tell Joel that on the day of our tour, October 4th, was also the day back in 1927, when the work on Mount Rushmore began!! Trivial?? Yeah, but that show you how completely great Joel was that day when I had to nickpik a trivia!!! Thanks for sending him to us on that day!!!

It’s the tops
