About US

#1 best value affordable tour! More sightseeing, more roads, more attractions! We cover the most miles to guarantee the most smiles. Thank you!

Please call us before you book your flight, hotel, and tour because we help you find the best hotels, campgrounds, and locations to stay at which will make your entire vacation more enjoyable!

We are the most recommended and the most affordable tour! We have 12-15 passenger vehicles (includes the driver). We have 4-wheel drive vehicles for more fun and adventure. We have a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans, 4×4 Ford Minibuses, Ford Transits and TurtleTops – all with high ceilings and big windows, with step-stools if needed. FYI, other more expensive tour companies have large coach buses which means you will have to wait for 40+ people to get off and on at every stop which means less time for sightseeing for you. Don’t go with them, go with us as we’re more affordable and go to more places throughout the day. We have very comfortable vehicles and we do NOT cram you in like sardines like some of the other companies do! We always try to leave a couple empty seats, on purpose, for your comfort and enjoyment! We have the most complementary amenities and we cover for you up to $70 of your admission and parking fees! We drop you off at the front steps everywhere we go which means less walking for you. FYI, we have vehicles with extra storage area for FOLD-UP wheelchairs and scooters. Also, Mount Rushmore provides complementary wheelchairs. Crazy Horse memorial provides complementary wheelchairs and also scooters. Please keep in mind, we will beat the price of any other company for the all-day tour! Please call us to inquire.

If we had a red carpet, we would roll it out for you! Also we go to the most places and see the most wildlife, not to mention the many hidden gems of the 1.2 million acre Black Hills National Forest and surrounding area!

Also, included in this amazing affordable tour, experience the 71,000 acre custer state park, featuring one of the world’s largest free roaming herds of American bison, “Buffalo”! See America’s national land mammal, the iconic symbol of the American west, freely roaming along the wildlife loop, “Where The buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play”!

Great tour!!

We had a great experience and tour. RJ was our tour guide. He provided great insight and details throughout the experience. Every stop was awesome—seeing bison, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer Park, etc.. We really enjoyed being able to learn more about Needles Highway and getting out to see inside the tunnel. Highly recommend the business!!

Best Tour Ever!

My husband and I visited Keystone SD primarily to see Mt Rushmore. We are so glad that we booked a tour with Black Hills Above and Beyond Tours. Our guide, KarebBear was fabulous. We learned so much about the beautiful Black Hills. Highly, highly recommend this company. They definitely go above and beyond. You won’t be disappointed.

Worth the cost

This is an all day tour so it’s worth every penny for what you get to see and do. Drops you off front door to every highlight you would want to see in the area. Waz wanted us to see buffalo and he did not disappoint, we seen 2 large herds and got to stay and view and take a lot of pictures. Petting the burrows were my highlight and Needles Highway was a favorite as well. There is no way I could’ve did all of these activities in one day myself. He scheduled every stop perfectly and was in no rush so we had plenty of time to enjoy!

WOW

This tour was recommended to us when we stopped at a wayside and we are so glad for her recommendation.
Wes our tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable about the entire area. This is an all day tour but so well worth the time as they take you right up to all the places, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Iron Mt. Road, Custer State Park where we were lucky to see herds of buffalo right next to our van and roaming the roadway and Needles Highway with a buffet lunch is included at State Game Lodge

What a wonderful day.

I would like to tell everyone that Kare Bear my tour guide was wonderful and showed me the most beautiful sites in the Black hills I would recommend above and beyond tours to every one and I enjoyed how informed she was on the history of the Black Hills and Native American history along with Custard in the battle at Little Bighorn most enjoyable day and I will take the tour again this year thank U above and Beyond tours.

Well worth the cost

You get an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. I spend all my summers here as a child and our guide, Wes, shared information and showed me things I had not previously seen. We had a very fun day.

Fantastic Tour of the Black Hills and Custer State Park

One of the best tours we have taken! Our guide, Karen (aka Kare Bear) was superb! Not only did we see some amazing sites that included Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Monument, driving the Needle highway, etc, but in Custer State Park we saw hundreds of buffalo (okay they are really officially American Bison), very friendly “begging” donkeys, prairie dogs, turkeys, and other wildlife. It’s a small group tour of about 14 folks, so you get to know everyone and we had a really fun group, which made the tour even better. If you want to see the Black Hills and get the history as well, don’t miss this opportunity!
