Each touring day is approximately 8–9 hours. This allows time to fully experience each region without feeling rushed, with a relaxed pace for sightseeing, short walks, and photo stops.

Your tour includes a private guide, private vehicle, entrance fees to parks and monuments, snacks and drinks each day, and a carefully planned itinerary covering the Southern Black Hills, Northern Black Hills, and Badlands National Park.

Optional picnic lunch is available for $15 per person. 

The tours are priced for pick up within Rapid City, but we can arrange other pick up locations if needed (may incur fee). 

Yes,  this is one of the most popular options for first-time visitors because it covers the Southern Black Hills, Northern Black Hills, and Badlands in a logical, stress-free itinerary.

No,  the itinerary is designed to balance sightseeing with comfort. Having a private guide means the pace is flexible, so you can spend more time where you want it.
However, we always say that three days should be your minimum time in the area. 

Yes, Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a highlight of the Southern Black Hills day and is included as part of your itinerary.

Devils Tower National Monument is well worth the visit. It’s a unique and iconic natural formation that offers a completely different landscape from the Black Hills and Badlands.

We spend 1.5hours here enjoying the base trail, scenic views, and photo opportunities. It’s an easy and memorable stop that fits well into a Northern Black Hills itinerary.

However, if you prefer a shorter day, or fewer stops/shorter pace – then perhaps a visit to Devils Tower could be a seperate da trip. 

Yes,  as this is a private tour, the itinerary can be adjusted based on your interests, weather conditions, or pace of travel. Your guide will work with you to create the best possible experience each day.

No strenuous hiking is required. Most stops involve short walks, scenic overlooks, and easy-access viewpoints. Guests are welcome to explore as much or as little as they prefer at each location.

If you prefer a longer walk or hike, talk to us about customizing your itinerary. 

Pickup is included within Rapid City city limits and most nearby hotel areas. If you are staying outside of this area, pickup may still be possible with prior arrangement.

A private tour means your group has a dedicated guide and vehicle for the entire day with no other guests joining. Your experience is fully personalized, allowing for a flexible pace, custom stops when possible, and a more comfortable, stress-free way to explore the Black Hills and surrounding attractions.

Tours are operated in comfortable, private vehicles such as luxury Ford Transit vans or similar SUVs depending on group size. All vehicles are air-conditioned and chosen for scenic touring comfort.

The Black Hills are a forested mountain region known for scenic drives, wildlife, and historic towns, while Badlands National Park features dramatic layered rock formations, wide-open prairie landscapes, and unique geology.

Yes, we strongly recommend booking in advance, especially for summer travel (May–October), as our private tours have limited availability.

This package is designed to give you the best possible overview of the Black Hills in three days, combining iconic landmarks, scenic drives, wildlife viewing, and cultural highlights — all with a private guide and flexible pacing.

Snacks and drinks are included each day. Lunch is not included unless a picnic is pre-arranged.  This allows us some flexibility to choose restaurant stops or picnic-style options depending on the day’s itinerary and your preferences. 

No, we can do three in a row – or space them out as you please. Over the booking process we can discuss what works best for you.
