This was an amazing day! Our guide, Jennifer, was fantastic.
For context, deciding to fly to South Dakota and do this tour took quite some consideration.
As Australians, our exchange rate makes everything we do over here so expensive as we only get around $0.64USD for every $1.00AUD.
So firstly it was very costly to fly in to Rapid City - $500AUD per person.
Tours also convert to over $500AUD per person.
So that's $2000AUD before any accommodation or meals - but this is something we have always wanted to do so we spent the money, hoping it would be worth it and we wouldn't regret our decision.
Well, we were not disappointed! It was was everything we were hoping for. Jennifer was so friendly and knowledgeable, offering to shorten or lengthen any parts of the tour we wanted to while also taking photos of us and taking the time to point out lots of extra interesting pieces of information.
If you've been wondering if this tour is worth doing, it absolutely is.
It was a full day - 8:30am pick-up and 5:00pm drop-off and we saw so much.
The complimentary bottled water and snacks were appreciated as we opted to not waste our time buying lunch. We wanted to use every minute to explore, photograph and appreciate the grandeur of the sites and stops.
Thank you again Jennifer for a wonderful day!
