It was an awesome way to spend the day and get all the highlights of the area! David was our guide and he was great. Very knowledgeable, personable and knew the area blindfolded. Mt Rushmore was amazing and the views are breathtaking. We hit all the spots - Mt Rushmore, Doane Robinson Tunnel, Custer State Park, Wildlife Loop, Iron Mountain Road, Legion Lake, Sylvan Lake, Needles Eye & Highway, Crazy Horse, drove thru cute towns, thru some engineering wonders, saw tons of landscapes, and David is full of history. He also handled those winding roads with ease. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
