They also have tours of several attractions. I highly recommend. The staff are very friendly,…read moreespecially Dave. The dinner was very filling, served "cowboy" style. After dinner typical western style. Had a great time.

Bill was very kind and accommodating through every step of arranging our tour, even when we got…read moremixed up about our pick-up point and went to the wrong place. He found us, and we were on our way. It was such a pleasure not to have to worry about driving. He had lots of interesting information about the area, and gave us plenty of opportunities to take pictures, and go at our own pace. The tour was worth every penny!

We traveled to Hot Springs and met up with two other family members so we were driving in 3 cars…read more We wanted to spend as much time together as possible yet still see and experience this beautiful area. I called Bison Tours and spoke to Bill. He was fantastic! He took us on our own personal guided tour in his very comfortable tour shuttle bus. He took us to Wind Caves National Park, Mount Rushmore, and Crazy Horse monument, providing background information as we went along. He was extremely flexible with our schedule that day and was just a super guide! His sense of humor matched ours and it was clear that he enjoyed showing us this area. After a brief hailstorm and rain, he backtracked a bit to Wind Caves Park to see if more wildlife had come out. The trip wasn't wasted as we saw more bison, elk and deer after the rain had cooled things down at the end of the day. He knew his way around and we didn't have to worry about plotting out our trip, we just let him do the driving. It was a great day and money well spent!

Liz was our tour guide on our Buffalo Safari Jeep Tour and it was so informative. Liz was funny and…read morewe saw so many animals. She was so knowledgeable about Custer State Park and all the animals that we saw along the way. This was our first time visiting Custer State Park and highly recommend it to anyone visiting. We saw bison, birds, prairie dogs, pronghorn, burros, and more. She knew of all the best spots to view these animals and I learned so much while on this tour.

Our tour guide, Berry, was excellent! I wouldn't want to do this with anyone other than him! He is…read morevery funny and filled with a lot of great knowledge. He talks to you in a casual way and is very engaging. The jeep was pretty comfy and the blankets they provide for cold days were very clean. Berry zoomed us all over the park and saw 3 out 6 of the buffalo herds and saw a lot of other cool animals too! It was a fun time and was a great experience.

I can't rate a park anything less than 5 stars; this is a small national park and easy to spend…read morehalf a day here and add in to a trip. This was a last minute addition so we missed the opportunity to do a cave tour. Next time! The visitor center is surprisingly large and really neat even if not visiting the cave. You can walk to the original entrance of the cave from the visitor center which is neat to see and "cool" to feel cold the air blowing out of the opening. We saw soooo many bison! And a coyote hunting prairie dogs! This national park doesn't charge an entrance fee to walk around or drive thru, so if you are in the area and maybe missed wildlife at the state park, it's worth a drive through to try and catch a view of some animals! Make sure your kiddos get junior ranger badges at the visitor center!

There's a whole hidden world under the prairie. The Garden of Eden Tour took us deep underground…read morethrough narrow passageways and into rooms full of rare boxwork formations and delicate honeycomb patterns that make this cave so special. Down there, everything feels slower. It's quiet, cool, and feels almost untouched. Then you step back outside and it's a complete contrast. Open skies, rolling hills, and bison grazing in the distance like something straight out of a movie. Two totally different worlds in one park.

He was very knowledgeable and really had a passion for his tours. And the tour was just our family so we could personalize it to whatever we wanted to do. We went to Custer state park, crazy horse, Needle highway, iron mountain highway and Mount Rushmore. I can't imagine doing the day without this tour. He shared all the inside info with us too which left us with s slew of knowledge and great photos too! Definitely look into Geofuntours before you book on one of the big bus tours. I am certain you'll be happier with this one! (And it's like the same price too-what a deal)

I love that there is no entrance fee for Mount Rushmore, but you do have to pay for parking. It was…read moreregularly $10 or if you're over 62 it's five dollars you take a ticket when you go into the parking lot and you will pay at a pay station before you leave. It will ask you if you're over 62 There is a lot of room to view the monument as well as a restaurant, gift shop, clean restrooms, and plenty of areas to sit on benches and such to enjoy the environment Definitely something you need to check off your bucket list

We stopped at Mount Rushmore while driving through South Dakota, and it's an impressive site that's…read morevery well designed for visitors. The memorial is easy to navigate, with excellent viewpoints, informative exhibits, and a beautiful setting in the Black Hills. We also appreciated learning more about the history of the area. Knowing that the mountain was considered sacred by the Lakota people before it was carved gave us mixed feelings and added important historical context to the visit. If you have the opportunity, be sure to watch the short film in the visitor center. It does a great job explaining the history, construction, and significance of the monument, and it made our visit much more meaningful. Overall, it's a worthwhile stop, especially if you're traveling through the region.

The history is interesting, except for the fact that wealthy entrepreneurs exploited the common folks during the 1929 depression and bought their gold claims/homestead for less than market value.

And who could forget, the ominous night of Needles Hwy. I needed more than 1 day to soak it all in. Glad there are restrooms throughout this NF, along with some water bottle refill stations, cuz all this roadtrip sightseeing sure works up a thirst.

My only complaint is that it needs more shade and maybe some fans. We didn't get to do everything we wanted because it was so darn hot. I also wish they had more ride photos. But I'm a big picture nerd. I would recommend getting the wrist band. It's $62 for adults but it includes everything except food and water.
