Pastor Dan was great!! A full, fun day. The dinner and show was a great ending to the day. Well worth the price.

An amazing day - a wide variety of activities with plenty of opportunities to take pictures; guide was knowledgeable about the area and provided a very good narrative! A full day - very pleased with this choice 👌

We booked this tour sort of on a whim. It could not have been better. Ann was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable and showed us other sights we would never have been able to see. I highly recommend Ann for this adventure!!

John did a fantastic job of keeping us informed of all the sites we visited and drove through, including a wonderful update on the geology of the area. The history is always more complicated anywhere you go, and John did an amazing job of giving us insights into what happened and when all along the way. Can't say enough about the great experiences we had that day. Thank you!

The tour guide, Nick, was absolutely great. Very informative. Great personality. Very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend

Our tour guide, Bruce, was very pleasant and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable of the area. He had snacks and water in the car. A really nice person and made the tour fun!

Our guide was fantastic. It was kind of rainy but, that didn’t stop us. If you get the chance do this one.

Chis was so knowledgeable and so enjoyable to be with. His passion for explaining all the history of this trip was superb. It is wonderful to book a private tour with an experienced company. Thanks Chris for going the extra mile on this tour!!

Scott our tour guide was excellent in every way! Driving to Devils Tower is lengthy but Scott passed through Sturgis, Spearfish and other areas explaining the history of these places past and current.Arriving at Devils Tower was just breathtaking as Scott led us for a hike around this Tower in the sky. Seeing climbers were a highlight! We stopped for a nice lunch 77 Steakhouse Saloon.The day was beautiful blue skies which made it a completely enjoyable day

Thanks to David Leiferman, the Badlands trip was a learning experience about the geological, geographical and the human involvement of this special place in South Dakota. Even on a rainy day the colors stood out in late afternoon on these special lands. David was very detailed on providing information and since it was a private tour just with my sibling we got to really enjoy his knowledge! Thanks David!!

The experience was exceptional. It gave us info ahead of time so we could go where we wished, stop as we wished and enjoy the adventure. We loved the stories and music provided. We will definately do it again with other audio tours.

This was an excellent tour choice. The third party provider was “Affordable Adventures” and they were great! Trevor was our guide who provided door to door service, snacks and drinks. Since it was a rainy foggy night, umbrellas, blankets and plastic for the seats were provided! He guided our group to the amphitheater and told us where to meet after.The Park Rangers presentation was touching and truly a tribute to our country and the best was the honoring of the service people in attendance! Commendable presentation!

Bonnie was our tour guide. She was MOST excellent as a guide. Even tho it was a tour group of 11, if felt as if I was getting a personal tour. And happy birthday to Bonnie who celebrated her birthday (21 again😎) the day before the tour🎂 Very worthwhile 👍

We spent two 8 hr days touring the Black Hills and Badlands with David Leiferman. The experience was more than expected. We booked directly through signatureblackhillstours.com and the process was seamless. As a former National Park Ranger, David brings a wealth of knowledge and has a keen eye for spotting wildlife. The two day itinerary was informative, efficient, and perfectly organized to maximize points of interest. If you’re looking for a best in class personal tour guide, I highly recommend David Leiferman with Signature Black Hills Tours.

An amazing tour with our Tour Guide Scott. All the stops on the tour, you could certainly do yourself, but you would be missing the inside information in regards to history and facts that you will not find on your own. It was a full day of touring and Scott presented all the high spots. Well worth our time to do it right. Would highly recommend Scott as well as Affordable Adventures.

My mom had always wanted to see Mt Rushmore so we booked a girls trip with my mom, sister and niece. We actually did two private tours with black hills tour company Mt Rushmore with custard park and Deadwood with spearfish. Joel was our guide and he was so accommodating and very knowledgeable of the area. I feel like he went the extra mile to fit in all we wanted to do and see. We were very pleased with both tours the scenery was beautiful and the wildlife was amazing. I would recommend booking a tour.
