My sister and I had a fantastic private tour of the Badlands with Randy! We took lots of pictures and learned so many interesting facts about South Dakota. Melina did a fantastic job accommodating our requests and keeping in touch throughout the entire booking process. We are extremely happy and grateful for the experience!

Eilan was excellent on our tour of the Badlands. She’s so much fun and knowledgeable. The van is comfortable and made many stops at points of interest. Loved the whole experience with Black Hills Tours.

We traveled to South Dakota in late September to explore its national parks and everything that the Rapid City surrounding area has to offer.
We found Kevin’s company on the internet and were impressed with his positive reviews. We were hoping to capture beautiful scenery including landscapes and wildlife. Kevin was able to deliver all of it and much more. He was punctual, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the things and places we wanted to see.
For example, he knew at what time we must leave our apartment and where we needed to be in the Badlands to catch the beautiful scenery at sunrise. We drove on dirt roads that were not found on any map to get to the best locations at the best light available.
Thanks to him we were able to shoot a lot of pictures of native animals like bison, pronghorn, elk, prairie dogs, etc. He was quick to spot an animal and point me in the right direction. He also was very meticulous in planning our daily trips. For example, he brought sandwiches on our trip to Devils Tower knowing we will not have time to stop for a meal to catch the sunset.
Overall, we were so happy to have Kevin as our tour guide. Thanks to him this trip has a 5++ star rating in our books, and we hope to find someone as good as him when planning our next trip to a national park.
