Hi Linda - I'm glad you had a good tour with Doug. We are fortunate that our Jeep Gladiators have dual seating choices. The front two rows have convertible tops (with AC and heat). And the rear seats are a great open platform for viewing and photos. Our guests have the option to chose. Thanks for your review. Be Well - Rich

Take the Jeep tour!!! We were a family of 7, and wouldn’t have seen half of what we did without doing this tour. Doug was an awesome tour guide and so helpful! Lunch was great and there were tons of stops to take pictures. Highly recommend! Especially if you don’t want to try to navigate the sites on your own.

Hi Amy - I'm pleased you enjoyed your Jeep Safari tour with Doug. We are glad to have Doug on our team this season he knows the southern Hills extremely well. Thank you for pointing out our tours make lots of stops for restrooms and photo ops and include a picnic lunch. I hope you have an opportunity to join us for more adventures in the Hills! Thank you for taking time for your review. Be Well - Rich

We had a good time on this safari ride. Wished Doug, our driver could’ve planned lunch by one of the beautiful lakes instead of the Bison Center. Doug needed to use his microphone on the trip as it was very hard to hear him. Felt Doug’s speed was excessive on some parts of our tour.

HI Cheryl - I'm glad you had a good time. I'm sorry the picnic lunch was not at the lake as usual. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally bikers are arriving, so we moved the Needles Highway to first stop on the tour in order to avoid the congestion. For a short time this has the timing off for lunch not at the lake and at the Bison Center. We will adjust back to lake picnic after the Rally. I apologize for any concern you had about the driving speed and the PA system. I will investigate both and make sure corrections are made. We want our guests to feel safe and enjoy their tour. Thanks and Be Well Cheryl - Rich
