A top experience - value for money and recommended. - A great tour with access to areas the general public do not see. Our driver/tour guide was Yvonne who was brilliant - articulate, personable, knowledgeable and very friendly. We learnt a lot about the Navajo and saw some fascinating scenery and formations as well as a traditional Navajo home. My wife and i thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Wouldn't change a thing about my tour experience - I am so happy I decided to take the 3.5 hour cultural tour. If you are a solo traveler, just email or call to see if there is an opening -- I got a prompt response. Yvonne was helpful from the second I spoke to her and I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, attentive, or capable guide. I felt like the tour covered so many locations and I didn't feel rushed once, which made this tour stand out from others I have taken recently. The content was incredibly interesting and covered a wide variety of topics. I would recommend this tour to everyone and anyone. Thank you, Yvonne, for creating a lifelong happy memory.

Highly recommended! - This tour should not be missed! Our tour guide, Yvonne was awesome! She's personable, knowledgeable and obviously loves what she does. She gave us a very cultural perspective of Monument valley and of the people who live here. She alsi took us to the perfect photo spots and even coached us on hiw to achieve the very best photos. Also, she played flute for us in a magical place. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour and guide! - Jameson was an amazing tour guide, pinch hitting for a coworker at the last minute. My husband and I were the only guests on this 3.5 hour tour. What you see and experience here is not to be missed! A visit to an authentic hogan, complete with informative talk, venturing outside the boundaries where you must go with a Navajo guide. Jameson and another guide shared their talents of flute and drum inside Eagle arch. Many opportunities to stop and marvel, take photos and learn many interesting things about the monument. We never felt rushed, but were encouraged to be in these beautiful spaces until we were rat to move on. I can’t say enough about this wonderful tour!

Do not visit Monument Valley without booking a tour - We had the best time! Lee was knowledgeable and so much fun! We loved that we got to go on backroads where the general public couldn't go and see living history in the hogan! Definitely stop and buy some Indian fry bread!! You are welcome!!

awesome tours - cultural tour and mistery valley tour - I had two wonderful tours: 1 Cultural tour into the Backcountry with John and the other tour I went to Mistery Valley with Elvis. John and Elvis were two wonderful tour guides and I learned a lot about the history of Monument Valley and the surroundings. Impressive scenery, bumpy streets and exciting stories and talkings. Both played the flute in very magical places. I really want to thank you for this unique experience, I will always keep it in my heart: Thank you John for all the knowledge you shared and the help how to take awesome pics of Monument Valley. Thank you Elvis for taking me to Mistery Valley - I'll always remember your words "trust in your feet" Thank you Charlene for the support and the organization of these wonderful and adventurous tours! All the best from Switzerland, Mirjam

A Fun Tour - A longer tour was nice; there was only one other couple with us, so we weren’t cramped, as many others tours were. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. The rock formations here were amazing. A highlight for me was when we stopped at a hogan and listened to a short talk by a Navajo woman who spoke about daily life and traditions. Her grandmother lived in the hogan. Be aware the trip is dusty, with lots of other vehicles! We did a Mystery Valley tour as well, which was much quieter and focused more on the Anasazi ruins and petroglyphs.

A Wonderful Tour - A great tour with Harry. He was very knowledgeable . We learned a lot about various plants; the scenery was wonderful. A highlight was a stop at a hogan, where we heard a lot about living the Navajo way. And, some nice petroglyphs!
