We toured the Black Hills, Custer Park, Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse with Joe the guide. He was beyond fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and professional and went above and beyond to show us all the sights. I would absolutely use Joe again to navigate all that South Dakota has to offer! Thank you Joe!

Black Hills Open-Top-Tours was a lucky find for us. Rich was efficient and accommodating of our last minute request for a tour on a very busy weekend. And Joe was an excellent and friendly guide through Custer State Park. The van was fun to stand up in and added a wonderful element to our drives and vantage points. We were so impressed we scheduled another trip for the next day!

Booked a full day tour with this company. Owner was always efficient, courteous, and timely in response to my emails/inquiries. Our tour guide was Kevin and he was good. I forgot to bring lunch as requested but he said we'd make time to stop and get some. We covered quite a bit. Custer State Park and of course ending with Mt. Rushmore. We stopped at several places, outlooks and were shown Mt. Rushmore in the distance and through special tunnel openings, got great views of Mt. Rushmore. The expense was worth it to me to be able to enjoy and hear some info about the area. There was a plastic shield between my family and the driver along with hand sanitizer in view of COVID concerns. Thanks for providing a great day!
