Thinking about gifting the 1880 Train experience!

So, I’m considering this for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and scenic views. I know the tour takes you to Keystone and you get to explore for 1.5 hours. Has anyone done this? What's your take? Is it worth it? Any tips?

Just did the 1880 Train tour, thoughts!

I took the 1880 Train experience last week, and it was awesome! The scenic views of the Black Hills were breathtaking. We spent time at the Big Thunder Gold Mine, which was super interesting. Pick-up from Rapid City was seamless. Highly recommend it for a fun day out!
