Great Experience - We had Brian as our guide and we had just a small group of four. The stops were gaged on our needs regarding time. Brian explained and informed us which enhanced the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the woman giving information and demonstrations in the hogan. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Waterhole Slot Canyon Tours - Wonderful, fun adventure though waterhole slot canyon. And far, far less crowded than upper and lower Antelope canyons. Though not quite as spectacular, it was well worth it. Brian, our guide was personable and did not push us. Plus there was only 4 in our group. Highly recommended!

the only way to see the Valley - It was GREAT. Aaron was very polite and answered all questions explaining in detail. He took his time on the rough road and pointed out all the points of interest. The stop at the hogan was an added treat. We have a much better understanding of the Valley and the Navajo culture and homeland.

Spectacular experience - Could I give 6 Stars?! We did the excursion from sunset to dinner, with an organized tour by Jeep. we had a great time, showed us the truly unique places and stopped for the right time in each place. For dinner we stopped to eat in the middle of nowhere and in total darkness and a native family prepared their typical dish in a farmhouse. really an 'exciting experience and to repeat. Very good! I recommend bringing bandana and sunglasses, because going with the jeep on the sand, you risk it getting in the eyes. In the evening temperatures drop, so I recommend a light sweatshirt.
