What To Expect

Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

The tour package starts at Fort Hays Chuckwagon where you get your all you can eat cowboy breakfast. Nothing better than home made cowboy pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage links with a hot cup of coffee to get the day started.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

The bus departs at 9am and heads for Mount Rushmore! You will have a little over an hour to look around at your own convenience and enjoy the sites and beauty that you came to South Dakota for. We stop here first because Mount Rushmore is at it's best in the morning sun. Gutzon Borglum carved this mountain facing east towards the morning sun and intended it to be viewed this way.

Iron Mountain Road

After leaving Mount Rushmore we will travel along the Iron Mountain Road. A beautiful 17 mile road of breath taking scenery featuring 3 one lane tunnels that perfectly frame Mount Rushmore.

Custer State Park Resort

We stop for lunch inside Custer State Park at the Game Lodge and previous summer White House for president Calvin Coolidge. Try the Buffalo Stew, it's the best you will ever find!

Needles Highway

After lunch we depart for the Needles Hwy. This 14 mile scenic drive is sure to leave you breathless and awe struck at amazing beauty of the Black Hills. Sit back and enjoy the ride and watch the crowd gather around when we drive the bus through the Needles Eye Tunnel. With only inches to spare on each side of the bus you can relish in the fact that you are not the one driving.

Sylvan Lake

Take a rest stop and coffee break at the beautiful Sylvan Lake. This is among the crown jewels of Custer State Park and the beauty within it.

Crazy Horse Memorial

We spend about an hour at Crazy Horse Memorial. You are on your own to spend this time enjoying this piece of history in the making. Upon completion it will be the largest mountain carving in the world! Truly a piece of awe inspiring history being worked on every day.

Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

The tour package ends back at Fort Hays to include the Chuckwagon Supper and Live Music Show. This chuckwagon meal is sure to leave you with a full belly. The show is a Branson style variety show to include music for all ages to enjoy. Rate the best family entertainment in the Black Hills.

Great tour for the price. Picked us up, had breakfast, then tour drove us all around Black Hills, Custer State Park, toured Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, then ended the day with dinner at Ft Hayes for dinner and live music. Food was good, Dan the bus driver was great and the live music was terrific!! Do this tour, worth the amount, very reasonable

Thanks for the review! I'm glad that you enjoyed your day. We try hard to make sure that the package with worth the money that we charge. We like to give it as much "Bang for your Buck" as we possibly can! I hope you had a safe trip back home!

A bus tour of Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills was not even on our radar until the night before we left for our trip there. I had been looking for things to do on TripAdvisor when I stumbled across Mount Rushmore Tours. They had received high ratings, and so after talking it over with the family, we decided to book the tour. It was great! My husband didn't have to worry about driving--he was able to sit back and be a tourist. It was great for our toddler, too. It was fun to visit with fellow passengers, and we learned so much about the history and area from our bus driver. We would have missed so much if we were just driving around on our own. My only complaint is that I wish we had a little longer at Mt. Rushmore--I think it was just an hour. It would have been great to have at least another 30 minutes there.

Thanks for the review! It is a great day for everyone to sit back and enjoy the ride and narration provided by the driver. I agree that there is allot of things to do while at Mount Rushmore and it can take over an hour. That is the case with many of the area's and things to do here in the Black Hills. I hope that you come back again and spend that additional time with all the things that caught your interest here in the area. -Safe Travels

Took this trip with two teens and husband to check out sights. It was easy to book and prior to the tour, there were plenty of spots to view Black Hills history at the site which is set up similar to a Western town. We were able to see many sites, mostly enough time to see all that we wanted at each site. The driver was personable, safe, and informative. Taking the bus through the narrow tunnels was crazy but fun. Our guide also informed us that one of the original carvers was in the gift shop at Mount Rushmore the day we were visiting. Great tip that allowed us to meet "Nick Clifford". We also got the a 5 x7 picture and I was pleased with the quality for the price. Would highly recommend if you only have a day or as a beginning activity if you are staying several days in the area. There is a lot to do! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Thanks for the review! I do agree that the tour is great for either people with limited time, or also for those that are here on an extended stay. It can help get a lay of the land and also find some things that you want to go back and spend more time on. I hope to see you again here in the Black Hills and surrounding area.
