This tour is really unique in that it offers guides who love their work, are paid a living wage, and receive regular training and tips as we all learn together. We share stories and findings, then share them between ourselves. We set out on a journey, not a tour. While our tours are a full day, they don't seem like it with all we have to show. Adults and kids will have a great time, learn in the process and take home meaningful memories!

WOW! The best private tour. Daniel was a knowledgeable guide that made the experience exactly how YOU request. Making sure everything down to the small details are taken care of. He knows all the areas and the certain times to visit to beat the crowds. Stress free enjoyment. Loved the hotel pick up also. He makes sure everyone in the group is taken care of...We drove off the beaten path to see the donkey herd in Custer State Park at my son's request. I can say enough great things.
