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!!
