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.

We used Grayline Tours and were not disappointed. From the time we boarded until we got dropped off it was first rate. Our tour guide was very informative and because our group was small (only 21) we had some bonuses by seeing things not on the itinerary. The time flew by and didn't seem like 9 hours. We started off going to Mt Rushmore, which was amazing. The breakfast that was included was good. Afterwards we went to Keystone to drop people off for the 1880 Train Ride. We didn't want to do that so we went to Hill City and had free time there. When our group met up with us, we headed to CrazyHorse Museum, which was unbelievable. From there on to Custer State Park which was gorgeous. Our bus barely fit thru the tunnels and stayed on all wheels thru the pigtail turns. We saw very few animals until the last minute when leaving the park a few buffalo were hiding under a tree...yes I know they are big but they can blend in so well. It was an experience that only a tour bus can provide because if we did this on our own we could never have learned so much. I would definitely recommend this for first time visitors.

I was a little leery paying $100/person for a day long bus tour including breakfast, the bus tour, and a chuck wagon style dinner, but it was worth it! We had two families with five teenagers and everyone really enjoyed a day of family fun together. Not only did we tour Mount Rushmore, but also got to see several sites in the Southern part of the Black Hills... Even a herd of bison alongside the road in Custar National park! It was well worth the price to hear the historical highlights, not have to drive and just enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Black Hills!! I highly recommend this tour package, but do wear good walking shoes and bring water to drink on summer days!

My husband and I had been planning on going to the Black Hills for 6 months prior to our trip. We didn't really look too much into it as we are the type to just jump in the car and 'see where the road takes us'. I told the girl at the bank we were going and she highly recommended Mount Rushmore Tours. Boy, was I glad she did. I'm not usually one for tours but, this one was awesome!! We started the morning with pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy. Half way through the tour, we stopped at Calvin Coolidge's 'Summer White House' where we had lunch. I recommend getting the buffet, it was excellent!! Try the Buffalo stew. A few people on the bus ordered off the menu and ended up having to eat on the bus since it took so long and we were given an hour. Dinner and a show was the perfect way to end the day. My husband wasn't all that interested in the show (before it started) and wanted to leave. I convinced him to stay and every time I looked at him, he was grinning from ear to ear. They were great!! Dan, our bus driver for the day was awesome!! He was very professional, informative and funny. We all had a great time. This is definitely the way to go if you would like to experience the Black Hills. I could not imagine driving. Plus, there is so much to see the entire trip, you would miss out on so much if you were the one driving and that would just stink!! The sights are absolutely breathtaking!!
