no. you will need to drive to the place or you can have the hotel help you get you a ride. we had our own car. we did our whole trip in our RV 4 no planes.

Huge - one of those big touring buses, with a bathroom.

yes, I think it does run then, but if you call them direct, you can make sure

Yes, and most of the tour guides are top notch - we were very pleased!

You should reach out to the bus tour company. I called them several times and they were always very helpful. You need to ask them what their policy is on bringing support animals.

This particular tour (the no meals tour) does not pick up at hotels but there are several that do. Just google Mt Rushmore bus tours and you will see all the options. My suggestion - if you opt for the hotel pick up, ask what time you will arrive at Ft Hayes. You really need some time to enjoy Ft Hayes at either the beginning or end of the day. I hope this helps! Have fun!
