The Badlands Golden Hour

Overview

We absolutely love spending time in the Badlands. Our guides are highly trained and enjoy sharing the geological, cultural, and wildlife highlights along the way. This is not a repeated script of the Badlands, but more of a testimony of the guides as to how they feel and think about the sacred land. This tour is exclusive to your group, meaning no others will be joining. You have the guide and the vehicle all to yourself.

What To Expect

Wall Drug

The famous Wall Drug and the family story behind it! Here what makes this such as success and why you must visit, even if it is just to get one of their unbelievably delicious donuts! Our last civilized stop before heading into the beautiful Badlands.

Badlands National Park

The Badlands National Park is one of the most underrated parks in the system. Its other worldly spires, layers, winding roads, shadows, colors and history make it extraordinary to visit.

Badlands Wall

As we enter the park we'll stop at a location we feel is best for viewing the sunset to see the light change the colors of the soil and cast shadows that made Frank Lloyd Wright say it was his favorite National Park. Picnic Blankets, Folding Chairs, Drinks, Photography, video and more are offered as we take it all in.

This was one of the BEST tours I’ve been on. Daniel, our terrific guide, was really personable and fun. Daniel gave us so much information about the area. We started with the Siesta Key Rum distillery visit was so interesting as we visited the tasting room, learned the history of the company and distilling process. Then off to Ringling Bros grounds and the amazing mansion, landscaped grounds, gardens and view. Lots more to the Sarasota tour with narration by Daniel. What an afternoon! Looking forward to other tours offered by XO tours.

This was a great tour. Daniel (tour guide), arrived on time, with his business decorated vehicle with official logos. This was a pleasant surprise as we didn't quite know what to expect. The Van easily sits 8-12 and was very clean. Daniel himself was very courteous, opening the door for my wife and I, and positioning the step each time we got in and out, even though we're well able bodied in our 30s. He also stocked the van with light refreshments to keep us well hydrated. The tour itself was very well laid out. Visited 3/4 main destination points while providing details history and background behind the areas that we drove through. Daniel knew the spots and area very well and if you're new to the town, be sure to ask about all the good spots to visit for food and drinks. His recommendations were sound and helped to make our Sarasota visit fulfilling. Great experience overall. Would definitely recommend!
