we had a great time. Good itinerary, good people, good hotels.

We had a great time. The people on the bus were very nice and personable. The guides on the bus were less than desirable. The step on guides at each site were excellent. The bus would be rated at a three due to no cup holders and the tv monitors wee not wotking.

Super trip had fun

By JIm G for 2025 Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, & Black Hills of South Dakota on Jul 08, 2025

This was our first bus trip and it exceeded our expectations. Our bus leaders, Lisa and Deb, were so much fun and made our trip wonderful. They didn't let us get bored on the bus and they kept good care of all of us. We loved that each day Lisa would begin the day with a devotion and a prayer. How special was that! These 2 people were awesome and should do another trip together as bus leaders. Our bus driver Brooke was also a wonderful driver getting us where we needed to be on time and safely. We had great people on our trip and it was fun to make new friends. One of the draw backs is little time to rest or do what we want in the evenings. We like to exercise and never had the time to get that into our day. The Chuckwagon dinner show was a fantastic time and the food was good. Stopping one night at a buffet dinner in Rapid City was a little strange. There were so many people with about 3 or 4 different buses stopping that night. We had a DJ playing music and some people got up to dance. We enjoyed dancing but a half hour before we were to leave on the bus, most people got up and just left to get on the bus. We think that people that didn't want to dance were bored sitting there and were ready to leave. Some of us just kept dancing a couple more songs and were about the only ones left in the building so we continue to leave and get on the bus. We felt this was not a successful night. Thank you for a wonderful first trip. Jerry and Colleen McClannan
