The 4 day self guided Mickelson Trail bike trip was excellent. Black Hills Tour Company made all the arrangements for shuttles, bike rental and lodging, all we had to do was get on our bikes each morning and ride. Our luggage was waiting for us each evening at our lodgings. Each nights lodgings were clean and comfortable. We added the optional Mt. Rushmore guided tour on the 2nd afternoon. Our guide Kevin was knowledgable, entertaining and accomodating. While at Mt. Rushmore I lost my wallet, I didn't discover this until I returned to Hill City after the tour. When I contacted Kevin he searched the van and when he did not find it he offered to take me back to Mt. Rushmore to look for it. I opted not to do that, so he said he would have another guide inquire about it in the morning. I was very grateful for his efforts. Fortunately the wallet was found and returned to me the next day by one of the Park Rangers at Mt. Rushmore. Jim our shuttle driver was also great. He was very knowledgable of the area and it's history. I would reccomend Black Hills Tour Company for your adventure on the Mickelson Trail.

My wife and I did a custom 5 day tour, which is to say, it was just us and the guide. We are both 75 years old and are experienced bikers, but, needless to say, we are on the downside of our touring career. Our guide, Randy, turned out to br not only very knowledgeable, but adaptable and understanding of our limitations. We were able to do the whole Mickelson Trail over 3 days, which was our major goal in visiting the Black Hills. On day 4 we tried to do the wildlife loop in Custer State Park, but the uphills proved to be too much for us. We put the bike in the van and finished touring that day in the van. We got to see all the major sites in the Black Hills while swapping stories with Randy. We considered biking the badlands on day 5, which Randy thought was within our capabilities, but the temperature was predicted to reach 105 degrees that day, so we demurred. Instead we did a cave tour and visited the mammoth site (air conditioned). All in all it was a wonderful week and I won’t highly recommend this company.

Steve guided our family for a wonderful ride from Dumont to Hill City. The trail is beautiful and Steve’s support was fantastic. He checked in on us, kept us well hydrated and fed, and shared his knowledge of the Black Hills. He made helpful adjustments to our plan based on our pace. The bikes provided were good quality. A great way for a family to do a section of the Trail.

We spent three days biking the Mickelson Trail. The bikes were awesome, airport rides prompt and comfy and Mount Rushmore tour informative and fun. Everything ran seamlessly. I highly recommend the Black Hills Tour Company - wonderful people.

We loved this experience! Bikes were in great shape, the trail is just beautiful and easy to ride and navigate, and Randy was friendly and so helpful! I’d recommend this to anyone who appreciates great scenery on a bike!

We did a self-guided tour. Melina handled most of the arrangements and she was very accommodating with our requests, changes and unusual timing (a week/days that they normally do not arrange tours). The whole trip was awesome and we enjoyed it tremendously. Robb handled all the driving and luggage transport. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and interesting to talk to making the trip special. The trail itself is beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

We had a fabulous time riding the Mickelson Trail. Black Hills Tour Company did a great job setting up the itinerary and arranging our lodging. Our luggage was always at the next place each afternoon when we pulled up. The lodging was always close to the trail. We enjoyed our driver, Rob, very much. The trail is such an amazing way to experience the Black Hills. Lots of blue skies, the smell of pines, and the wildlife you see mile after mile are incredible!

The best part of the experience was having Rob as our guide due to his patience, expertise, and his experience with the Mickelson Trail. While I was unable to ride a bike on the Mickelson Trail, my sons one of which is Autistic, were able to bike the 17.9 miles due to how Rob explained the trail, went a portion of the trail with them, and made sure they were safe along the way. Since I was unable to ride, Rob as we passed the various stopping points on the trail, he would point out the landscape, the trail, and other points of interest. He made me feel as if I were a part of the bike trip with my sons. This made the day very special to me. In addition to this, the lunch provided was good and made for a very enjoyable day. My sons are in their twenties and not teens but there was nothing else I could select. Due to this experience, my sons are talking about another bike trip with Rob in June of 2024.

The scenery was beautiful and the tour guides were excellent. Since we are in our 80's, the best thing they did was recommend the e-bikes. It made the biking so much easier for us and fun. We liked Black Hills Tour Company because they offer a variety of bike tours and they accomodate your skill level. We aren't avid cyclists but had a great time. They also took time to show us around the Black Hills area. We are definitely going with them on another adventure

Excellent adventure . I do cycle a lot but the Mickelson Trail was just a bit harder than I thought at age 66 . The grade was gentle but seemed to go on forever on some segments . My legs hurt a bit but of course I could still do it ! If I was to do it next year as a year older e bile for sure ! Shuttle service well done and Robb was a great asset to the trip as an experienced cyclist .Our accommodation in Hill City was just enough away from town ( Comfort Inn ) we decided to be lazy and not bike or walk into town for dinner .. we were with Black Hills Touring Company self guided tour .
