It was informative,... - It was informative, educational, and a lot of fun! Taking the tour was worth the cost and we were able to experience places we couldn’t have seen on the drive yourself route. Our guide Sandrea was excellent!

All Day Tour Is A Must - Sandra did a wonderful job on my all day tour, sharing stories, information and warmth during our tour of Monument Valley and Mystery Valley. I did not know anything about Mystery Valley and was in awe as much as I was with Monument Valley. Both locals differ in their beauty and compliment each other for a great day!

Nature. Art. History. Music. The Total Experience - Fascinating trip. Something for everyone. Fabulous vistas. Closeup views of the classics and exploration from directions not seen from the main road tour. Intimate knowledge of the land and people and history from our guide Larry. You will enjoy his flute playing at the natural amphitheater called the Big Hogan. Really lends a magical air to an already enthralling location. We were fortunate enough to be there when it had recently rained. The change in the landscape was dramatic and interesting. Petroglyphs from the time of the Ana Sazi brings you close to connecting to people thousands of years removed. Really expands your concept of time, endurance, survival and joy of life in an environment most of us would not last a week in.
