Seeing the bison up close and personal was a real highlight. Animals can be pretty elusive and we understood that if we saw them they may be further away. Beth, our super informative guide, did not disappoint. She was able to find them, and best of all there were no other vehicles around. The entire day was interesting, FUN, historical and such a great to be in this beautiful area. Lunch provided by subway sandwiches was great in our picnic area. Several stops along the route and great photo opportunities. Take this tour and relax and enjoy this sights without a steering wheel or map at hand.

Joe was our tour guide for the day and he was amazing! We were picked up at our hotel a few minutes before 9:00, got our Subway sandwiches ordered and in the cooler and we were off! Joe was a knowledgeable guide and able to answer all of our questions. We spent five and a half hours touring Iron Mountain Road, Custer State Park wildlife loop and Needles Highway. We had a great lunch on top of Mt. Coolidge. We saw an astounding number of Buffalo. Our group was so grateful to have a great tour guide to did all off the driving, so that we were able to look at the sights and enjoy the ride. I would highly recommend Black Hills Open Top tours! Worth every penny!

Joe was an amazing tour guide, very nice and knowledgeable. This is a great, relaxing way to see the Black Hills. It was so nice to enjoy the time with the kids, worry free. The kids loved being in the back of the jeep, wind blowing, and eating lunch while buffalo passed by. I would have never gone on the dirt roads and would have missed some amazing views. Highly recommend!

My wife texted and called the day before our tour tom confirm. Rich, the owner, said we were all set for 8:30AM tour, which was the Buff tour. We arrived at 8:30AM and met what we thought was our guide. We jumped in the jeep and we were off. About 10 min in the driver gets a call saying he has the wrong group. We go back to the starting point only to find out Rich did not have a vehicle or driver for us. He got Barry, his mechanic, to come out to provide the tour. Barry arrived at 10AM, an hour and a half later than we scheduled. We had booked an early tour because we wanted to avoid the heat of the day. Subsequently we also had some other sightseeing planned for the afternoon, which we passed on because we were 2 hours later than we expected and it was very hot in the jeep as it’s an open air jeep. To make matters worse, the jeep is in very poor condition. The outside looks decent but the inside is horrible. Barry was professional, polite and really tried hard to help out. He appeared to be pretty knowledgeable. That is why I gave this a 2. I contacted Rich about our displeasure. He said he refunded us 20%, which I found out he did do. However, I said given all the issues including the very poor condition of the jeep that was insufficient. He said that was the jeep we rented and he appreciates my perspective. I should also note, we were under the impression that the jeep could go off road closer to the Buffalo. That is not the case. The only Jeep’s that can go on special trails are the ones run by Custer Park. This is just an FYI. Those are Buffalo Safari Jeep Tours. I would look for a more reputable company if I were going to book another tour.
