Top Custer Safaris

Just sn awesome day! Nicole (and Nancy who was in training). Nicole knew all the sights to show us that I'm sure other your companies do not. Loved the badlands and iron mountain road and all the bison, prairie dogs, etc that Nicole showed us! Nicole with all her knowledge made our day!!

Our tour guide, Nicole, did an amazing job of narrating our tour and providing an incredible wealth of background information regarding South Dakota, the National Parks, the State Parks, and attractions in the area. Not to mention her wealth of knowledge on the local wildlife indigenous to the area. We learned a lot of information we wouldn't have otherwise picked up, and having someone else do the driving was great for me, as I usually am behind the wheel. Having the freedom to look around and take in the natural beauty of the area without keeping my eyes on the road was a big plus for me. On top of that, some roads were very busy with bikers as we did our tour at the beginning of Sturgis Bike Week. Nicole handled the additional traffic on the roads like a pro!

Paula was our tour guide. She was lots of fun and very knowledgeable of the area and the sights. She stopped often to let us get out and get pictures. We were able to check all the sights we wanted to see off our list plus some we didn't expect. I spoke with Rich and booked the tour in advance. He was very helpful in planning our trip. I would highly recommend Paula and this tour company. The price was very reasonable and we saw more than expected. We were a family of 7 so we filled the back of the Jeep. We enjoy taking guided tours so the family driver gets to enjoy the trip instead of watching the road.

I cannot say enough good things about our tour guide, Paula! She truly went above and beyond to ensure our group had a memorable experience. Her storytelling and deep knowledge of the area brought the sights to life. She was highly professional and genuinely attentive to everyone on the tour. If you get a chance to book a tour with Paula, do it—she is phenomenal!"

My husband and I enjoyed a full-day Jeep Bison Safari that included a picnic lunch with our guide Paula. Paula made conversation so easy! The tour company did a great job communicating with us prior to our tour, which eased all my stress. During the tour Paula was so invested in giving us the best experience possible, it was evident Paula takes pride in the job she does! I absolutely recommend this tour if you want to see bison and unforgettable sights. Thank you Paula for an absolutely incredible experience! You made our trip extraordinary!

Highly recommend. Paula was an excellent guide. The scenery was breath taking and lots of bison, antelope and deer.

This is a great experience! Highly recommend! very informative of the area. Lots of information about Custer State park and the surrounding areas. Our Driver, Charley, is a plethora of information. He called us the night before confirming our tour and what kind of sandwiches we would like, He picked us up from our hotel. Lunch is included--he had waters and water flavoring/cheese and grapes/low sodium chips along with regular chips/granola bars/chocolate treats/and pickles to go with our sandwiches. Can you imagine eating pickles in the jeep watching buffalo roam all around you??? Anyway, Charley really made this trip enjoyable for us. He also recommended local food and other places to visit. He took his time showing us all of the sites. Along with bathroom stops-asking along the way if we needed to stop!! Highly recommend this Jeep tour and ask for Charley!! He is the best Guide.

We had an absolutely awesome tour with Scott in the red open top Jeep!When we saw the Red Jeep in front of our hotel, we were already sold. What an amazingly fun vehicle. We had the luck to be the only two on the tour with Scott, and he really knew how to treat us. Starting in the Black Hills, he showed us al the stunning views and nice spots in the area. We felt very safe in Scott his hands (as some of the roads in the area can be a bit treacherous).Afterwards, we went to Custer State Park, where Scott knew exactly where to spot all animals. We got to sit in the back of the Jeep here - how cool is that! We saw Buffalo's just next to our car, almost being able to pet them! (But as they say; do not pet the fluffy cows!) We got to feed the Begging Burros with food supplied by Scott. They loved it! (Special love to little Patches here!) Not to forget the Prairie Dogs and all other animals. We even made a stop at the very informative Bison Center.We had a lovely picknick at the prettiest location next to the water, with no other people there!Scott then took us up Needles Highway and the Cathedral Spires, also showing us Sylvan Lake. All just such beautiful locations.Honestly, this whole trip and the region were so magical. Scott really elevated the trip with this awesome tour and we made a memory we will never forget. Thank you Scott!I can only recommend the Black Hills Open-Top-Tours!

Scott was great, we had a wonderful day with him!

We had a great time on our jeep tour of Custer State Park. Scott was a great tour guide and driver. The open top was awesome-really allowed us to get the best views. We had a nice picnic lunch at a great location that we never would have seen without Scott's knowledge. I would highly recommend Open Top Tours.

Our guide, Cheryl Lee, was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw so much in this 8 hour adventure. Custer State Park, lots of wildlife (bison, praire dogs, deer, donkeys, antelope), beautiful scenery. We covered so many things you'll want to see in the Black Hills. Wonderful excursion.

The tour guide was friendly and provided great insight into the history of the area. Highly recommended

We went on July 10th. There were 6 of us. We had rain so our guys who sat in the back had to dodge the cold wind that came with the rain. We also had to divert a little, but we had so much fun. Paula was knowledgeable of the area, and showed us a great time. Lunch was good on a picnic table in Custer Park. We did see wild life, as well as the beauty of the area!

I can’t say enough good things about the tour company and our experience. The owner/manager worked with us to reschedule our date and gave us so many other sightseeing ideas that made our vacation spectacular. Our guide, TJ, was great. Would definitely recommend!

After having traveled for 5 days to get to South Dakota it was great having someone else do the driving and knew where to go. Our guide Mike was friendly, informative and picked up on what we wanted to see or learn about. Rich was very communicative beforehand in making sure we knew where and when to meet.
