- JGJanice· May 25th, 2024A tour is a nice way to see a lot of things in a short time. But it’s the tour guide that makes it a great tour. Amber Peterson was great. She was pleasant, kept us on schedule, and was a pleasure to be around. She gave us historical information, showed videos, and told us about the flora and fauna of the area. She really did her homework. She was the tour guide that made it a great tour. We hope to see her on a future tour.

- MBMartha· October 14th, 2023Could not have asked for a better time. Our Tour Guide Katie and Driver Joe were phenomenal . All aspects of our comfort were taken into account. The attention to detail is evident and appreciatedTrip date: October 2023
- Stacey· May 23rd, 2023This was an amazing experience. I love traveling with Collette. Our tour manager was incredible, funny and very knowledgeable on the area. Accommodations were top notch and better than I had expected. Can wait to go on my next adventure!Trip date: May 2023
- Lee· July 21st, 2022Great tour with Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Deadwood being favourites. Summer temps but not too hot. Stayed at one hotel and undertook daily trips. Leisurely with easy walks.Trip date: June 2022
- LHLOKESH· October 16th, 2021As a whole, tour was good. But with quite a bit of luck, we barely escaped being a disastrous one. When we were taken for the buffalo ???? watch, open air jeeps were found to be lacking in keeping the occupants safe. Most of the jeeps lacked protective measures ( like plastic sheets which were supposed to be brought down in case of blizzard were inoperable. Drivers of the jeep knew that before hand we believe. We were told that when we asked the driver to stop in the middle of the blizzard and bring down the protection plastic sheets ) it was a total miserable ???? experience.Show moreTrip date: October 2021
- Howard· October 6th, 2021The tour itself was wonderful and our driver was the sweetest young woman. We all felt safe when we were with her! The tour manager Barbara was the worst kind of despicable human being I have ever met. She screamed at us and the driver and made us feel very uncomfortable. I will never waste my money on this company againShow moreTrip date: October 2021
- GKGeraldine· July 7th, 2021Spotlight on South Dakota by Collette tours was a fantastic trip, 5 excellent day trips and entertaining dinner shows.Trip date: May 2021
- JMJohn· July 2nd, 2021The Tour Director, Program content, Bus Driver, Timing and Hotel were excellent The food was very good and the connecting tour contractors. There seem to be a disconnect on sending some kind of black valise and name cards as I didn't and others didn't receive them. As you know the plastic laminated name cards are very helpful in 6 days of remembering the people's name on the busShow moreTrip date: June 2021
