Amazing Tour - Personalized, Once-In-A-Lifetime South Dakota Experience We had two tours with My XO Adventures. The personalized service started immediately with my first conversation with Aimee, who provided knowledge and options based on our time available in the area and accommodations for one of our party with mobility issues. Our first tour was the Badlands Golden Hour Tour, and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour leader, Daniel was very knowledgeable about the Badlands, the history of the area’s development, the wildlife and brought energy to our group throughout the tours. Timing is everything and we saw gorgeous landscapes in both day and dusk, up-close buffalo families, big-horn sheep, owls, deer, antelope, prairie dogs (our groups favorite!) and a lightening storm on the return night-drive. The following day, our second tour was Needles Hwy, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Mt., Sylvan Lake, among others. Daniel continued to bring his energy and knowledge about the area, history, landmarks, geology, culture and endured many, many questions from our group. He made each stop easy and memorable with spots out of the crowds and great stories. The beauty of the area and wonder of the landmarks left an impression on each of us and we ended wishing we had more time to explore. I highly recommend XO Adventures for an amazing South Dakota experience. Thank you, Aimee and Daniel!

My XO Adventures was Fabulous! - We had a family reunion in Rapid City and wanted to do something Fun and Memorable as it has been many years since we have all been to South Dakota. While our parents grew up here, none of the children did, but have visited many times thru the years. My XO Adventures was wonderful to deal with, especially with some last minute changes due to illness with some of our family members. The tour was awesome and we saw some things we had never seen before, learned new things, and also got more details and information about some of the old places we have visited. The price may seem a little high, but I assure you it was worth every penny. There was a lot of roads, scenery, and history that was covered, all in comfort. Great way to tour with our extended family and this company did not disappoint!

Best day ever in South Dakota - Great tour. Informative and personal. We did not have to worry about anything. We sat back and enjoyed every mile of scenery while learning the history of the area. Worth every penny.

Mount Rushmore - We were fortunate to have Daniel of XO Adventures lead our tour of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and the Crazy Horse Monument. His vast knowledge of the area enriched an already impressive experience. Our first venture into this part of the country was made even more memorable due to his enthusiasm and engaging personality. We can’t imagine a better experience-immaculate vehicle, expert driver, and just an overall unforgettable day. Highly recommended!

Kelly: a great and knowledgeable guide for a trip to Mount Rushmore/Custer State Park& Crazy Horse Museum/Memorial. - Made on June 26, 2024 with our friends and their service dog, a wonderful and interesting trip guided by "Kelly" to Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park and Crazy Horse Memorial/Museum. Kelly made this trip so special as she provided a lot of detailed background information (history, politics, geology/rock formation) on Mount Rushmore, the Indian tribes/their chiefs, general Custer and "Grazy horse"(museum, his monument is work in process). Never a dull moment during this trip. Furthermore Kelly is an excellent and very safe driver! Highly recommendation "XO adventures"for this tour.

A not to miss adventure - We spent our second tour with Dave of My XO Adventures and could not have been more pleased and impressed. What an incredible amount of knowlege Dave has about each of our stops as well as the history of the indigenous people. Each area /memorial had so much information that you know you have to return. Dave was great at finding Bison and the begging burrows at Custer State Park.....so fun. We had lunch sandwiches from a Deli in Custer , sat at a park and ate before continuing on our journey. It was a surprise to see a storm trooper directing traffic on needles highway. Dave picked us up and dropped us off at our cabin. Thank you Dave and My XO Adventures for a really great day.

AMAZING DAY AND MUST SEE IN AMERICA! - A fabulous day with Daniel as our guide. Knowledgeable, professional, and went out of his way to customize the day for our group of older ladies. We saw a large variety of wildlife. Mt Rushmore is a must see here in America. So much history in the area that you need a long day to enjoy it.

Great day tour with many highlights - There are many memorable highlights. Favorite part is winding through Iron Mountain Rd, seeing the Mt Rushmore carving from various vintage points, and hearing the history of how Governor Peter Nobeck planned the route this way. Also looking at wildlife driving through Custard State Park. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enhanced our experience of the sights.
