Not to repeat myself from last year this is an outstanding tour. Joh Langellier was supper knowledgeable and communicated his knowledge with vigor and enthusiasm. Nick Scramuzz is and outstanding tour manager. Nick kept everything moving on an even keel. Nick was never too busy to help any of the guests with any problem they may have had. John made it a point to speak with each guest and answer any questions they may have had about what they were seeing.
The reenactment of the Battle of the Little Bighorn was spectacular. I was pleasantly surprised that the reenactment was also the history of the Northern Plains Indian tribes, as well as the battle. We saw mountain sheep, and wild horses not at a distance, but up close. There was a member of the Crow Indian Nation (First Scout) as a step on guide that gave the Indian’s side of the battle.
One of the highlights of the tour was the farewell dinner. It was a cowboy cook out. Steaks cooked on an open fire, cowboy beans, cowboy biscuits and coffee, including a chuck wagon. Nice touch. Hopefully, Yellowstone will be back in operation, (because of the flood) and the ride via Bear Tooth will be back.
Don’t look for me next year on this trip because I will be doing the Apache tour. But I would do Crazy Horse and Custer again

There are not enough good adjectives to describe this tour. I consisted myself fairly knowledgeable about American Western history but, this tour proved me wrong. I learned a lot about the American Indian Wars on the great plains on this tour. John Langellier was super knowledgeable and communicate his knowledge with vigor and enthusiasm. Everyone was assigned a number, and every night at dinner, a number was picked and you won an autograph book by a western scholar. On several occasion, he had scholars speak to us at dinner about their expertise on the Plains War.

One could not ask for a better tour manager then Nick Scramuzz. He is the man that keep every thing moving on time and in order. When the airlines cancelled flights the night before departure, Nick got every one on different flights so they would not miss their connection. The ride through the Rocky Mountains was spectacular. If you deiced to take this tour next year, look for me, I plan to go again, to make sure I did not miss anything.

The Crazy Horse, Custer tour was a dream come true for a retired history teacher likr myself. I taught about the West for years, but actually seeing the sites made it all come to life. From the many great museums and forts, to The Little Bighorn, the Crazy Hose Memorial, Mt. Rushmore and Devils tower, to the amazing landscapes, it was just incredible. Nick Scaamuzza is a logistical genius, making every day run like clockwork, along with our super bus driver Yogi, who navigated the twisty turns of the Bear Tooth Highway like it was his own backyard. And what can I say about our historian John Langellier, who made the history all come to life. I will treasure our many conversations about history and our mutual love of Western movies forever. For anyone who loves Western History this tour is a MUST!!

It was really great to be a part of the inaugural tour of the Crazy Horse, Custer tour. For a retired American history teacher like me who taught about it for years, actually seeing the sites made the history really come alive. From the many museums, The Little Bighorn, the Crazy Horse memorial and Mt. Rushmore. to the amazing landscapes, it was a history buffs fantasy come true. Nick Scaramuzza is a logistical genius making every day go like clockwork, along with our amazing bus diver Yogi, who navigated the Bear Tooth highway like it was a ride in the park. And what can I say about our historian John Langellier, who made everything come alive. I will treasure our conversations forever, about history and our mutual love of Western Movies. For anyone who loves Western history this tour is a MUST!!!
