Mt Rushmore tour was awesome

The Premiere Private tour guide was amazing. Cindy was friendly. professional, worked with three grandkids in a great way. We saw everything promised including mingling with buffaloes and feeding burros. And of course, her explanation of Mt Rushmore was the main attraction. Well done.

Operator response

Thanks Don! We so appreciate you touring with us - I know Cindy had a wonderful time with your family. Thanks again.

Touring the Black Hills with Cindy

We are two senior adult women and wanted to see the Black Hills without having to drive and hassle with crowds. This tour proved to be ideal for us. Cindy, our tour guide, quickly became our friend and not just a tour guide. She told us, "I get to go on vacation with you!" Her vast knowledge helped give us background on everything. She knew the best photo spots and found parking spots that were very convenient. When needed she dropped us off. Cindy had great relationships with the cashiers working the entry booths at attractions and with the parking lot attendants. We ordered lunch when we booked our tour and ate at the beautiful park in Custer. Cindy even brought a tablecloth for the picnic table! At the end of the day we were tired but happy. It was as close to perfect as a day could be.

Operator response

What a glowing review. Thank you so much for your kind words. We really pride ourselves on having the best guides in the area - and they love their job. It seems to show! Thank you again and thanks for choosing to tour with us.

Terry was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! I highly recommend this company!

We had an amazing time on this private tour! Our guide, Terry, was terrific! As a long time resident of the area, and a history buff himself, he was able to give us so much information about the area! It was definitely worth the money!

Operator response

Thank you! So glad to hear you had a wonderful day out. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and so happy to hear Terry was a highlight!

Fantastic tour!

Amazing tour of Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Custer State Park and Wildlife Loop Road. Our guide Cindy was outstanding, so friendly and knowledgeable and attentive. She went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience. She even took extra time to make sure we saw the buffalo and other wildlife on the loop road. We highly recommend her and this tour! We’d love to take another of their tours when we are again in the area.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words - Cindy is outstanding, and we are so glad to hear you had an enjoyable day out touring!

Well worth the price

You will get a full day of seeing Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse monument and prairie dogs, buffalo and antelope. Our guide, Jennifer, was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure that we saw a full herd of buffalo. I can't say enough about how great she was. We were a group of 5 and got a hi top 9 seat Mercedes van. Well worth the money.

Operator response

Thank you! Great to hear you thought the tour was of value to your group, and that you had a wonderful time with Jen. Thank you for touring with us!

Fabulous Experience

Jeff was an excellent guide—flexible, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He adjusted our plans around the weather and made sure we still saw everything, including a return trip to Mount Rushmore for better views and photos. We highly recommend both Jeff and the company.
