Reviews
Our small group of 4, toured Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Devils Tower recently with Daniel which was absolutely fabulous. Daniel's genuine respect for the people in this area, together with a deep knowledge of its history makes for a one of a kind tour. We also toured Badlands with Dan (#2) and it was a wonderful journey of geological discovery. His knowledge and love for the land was obvious and we had a great introduction to this magnificent territory. A memorable holiday and we highly recommend My XO Adventures!
Our tour guide was extremely informative, friendly and catered to all our needs. It was a very interesting and fun day. Highly recommend it.
My XO Adventures was 5 star from start to finish. Amiee was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything. She gave us many recommendations outside of our 3 day tour. She contacted us just prior to our trip and when we arrived which were both appreciated. Daniel was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic about everything on our tour. He really made our 3 Day Adventure very special with lasting memories. They offered their assistance at anytime during our trip. We would definitely use them again!
