Mount Rushmore and the Big Badlands

Overview

We love what we do and the area we live. Why not visit the best of both worlds? Combining Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands is a great way to do it. The time is yours to stop at what you find interesting, ask questions, and take photos. Your guide is very experienced in the area and can provide information from Native American history to more modern-day settlers, wildlife, and the best places to visit.

You'll learn, connect with the area, laugh, and walk away feeling great about your time in the Black Hills and Badlands.

We loved every aspect of our tour. Our guide, Ashley, was fantastic giving great information about every stop and points of interest along the way. She also served a wonderful picnic lunch in a great setting. Our bonus stop was the CusterArt Fair-loved it! Thank you Ashley and My XO Adventures. We highly recommend you!

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.

Thanks so much for the great review! I’m really happy we were able to accommodate you guys, and enjoyed very much meeting your family. We saw a lot in the Southern Black Hills and had fun along the way. I hope you return to the Black Hills of South Dakota with My XO Adventures! See you down the road!
