Personal history come to life! - Absolutely the best!! Since Ms Ann has so much family history herself in the area, we felt like we had the “inside track” on each and every location. She was extremely accommodating and made sure that we got to do EVERYTHING we wanted to do plus several other things she suggested!! We totally recommend this tour!!

Seeing South Dakota - The tour was great. I like to learn about the places I visit, and I was incredibly pleased with Ann’s knowledge. I was on the tour with a couple from California, and we did the Badlands and Wall Drug together the day before. It was really nice to be able to have a small group and to be able to ask questions. I highly recommend this tour company. Ann also gave me recommendations for activities that she knew I would enjoy.

Deadwood, Black Hills casino destination and nearby sites - As a native of Lead in the Black Hills, Ann Thompson, our guide and owner of Black Hills Affordable Tours, shared personal history and anecdotes with us. Before returning to Rapid City, Ann embellished the day with a ticketed tour of a restored mansion built by Deadwood’s most successful tycoon during the Gold Rush. We had ample time in Deadwood for lunch in a casino, browsing the shops & tasting the wines of South Dakota.

It is both site seeing... - It is both site seeing and a history of the area. Hiking can be short or longer. It was customized to meet our needs. We stopped often to take pictures and flexibility in what we did in the town of Lead. Our guide Nick was extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure we had a good experience
