REVIEWS

I cannot believe this is real life. I didn’t even know I needed to ride a horse through the Montana mountains but I did. And now my life is better. 

Thanks to Alger, Junior and Apache for making it happen.

Alger was an awesome guide! Knowledgeable, kind, prepared, and patient. We booked a Jeep tour for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids under 12), and everyone had an amazing time! Alger even had lunch items for us, including vegan options for the adults. We highly recommend booking an adventure with Blackfeet Tours to anyone visiting Glacier National Park - you'll learn about the native Balckfeet tribe, see stunning landscapes only visible from the reservation, and make sure your hard-earned money supports a local, native business. Can't wait to come back and book another adventure with Alger!

We had an incredible time! Alger drove us around the area near Glacier, Canadian border, and Blackfeet Nation lands. We learned about sacred ceremonies, the bison projects in the area, and visited with a couple of local ranchers. Terrific day and we were exposed to an enriching day of adventure, knowledge sharing, and teachings about the Blackfeet & Montana lands they have called home for over 12,000+ years ! Highly recommended!!

"Had a lovely horseback ride to the Badger-Two Medicine area which was so important to the Blackfeet tribe. Alger was super-communicative in advance, well-prepared and on time for our meeting. His horses are well-taken care of and appropriate for those of us without much riding experience. Alger is a cornucopia of knowledge about the blackfeet (as he is one) and the territory. He is well equipped and trained to handle any event that might arise. A tour with a knowledgeable guide is much more rewarding than just driving by and looking at sites. The trail was appropriate and the pace was leisurely. Without a doubt I would recommend his service."

We had the most incredible experience with Blackfeet tours! The horses were so kind and gentle! The tour guides were amazing! The trail was not too tasking-we went up the hills through small creeks, and through the woods to see all types of breathing taking scenery.


Half way through we sat ate lunch and enjoyed the incredible sight of the mountains.Truly an amazing experience-highly recommend to everyone!

I can't thank Alger enough for taking us on our tour through the Blackfeet reservation.


Alger is a considerate and knowledgeable host who catered the tour to us. He answered all of our questions and provided us with so much historical information about the Blackfeet people while demonstrating reverence for his land, people and culture.

Alger and Blackfeet Tours is an asset to the tribe, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who truly wants to learn the truth about Native American History.

We were privileged to be able to take a tour with Alger Swingley who through his love and respect for the Blackfeet People and lands was able to instill in me a desire to broaden my knowledge of my own Tribe and want to learn and help others understand that even though Native Americans have been tested time and time again that we can persevere and become even stronger. I hope he and others are encouraged by the Blackfeet Nation to continue to educate through tours on the reservation.

I can truly say the time spent with him made the Blackfeet Reservation the best part of a long trip and that I planned to make the Blackfeet People a part of my life from here on.
