Mystery Tour back country of Monument Valley - It’s a rough road and 8 miles of highway driving to get to the destination. Sariah was full of information and answered all our questions

Once in a lifetime must do experience! - Highly recommend Garry Holiday, our Navajo tour guide. He is the elder of the family who runs this tour company. Garry is deeply knowledgeable and deeply spiritual in presenting the Navajo culture. Stunning scenery and special service by Garry.

Great tour offering insights into the Navajo history! - The tour was in an adjacent area to Monument Valley. We were able to get up close to petroglyphs, First People granaries, an arch and pancake rocks. The guide also offered an insight in to Navajo life – very interesting.

Best Tour Ever - We took several tours of Monument Valley. Navajo Spirit was by far the best. In fact, it was the best tour we've ever taken including Stonehenge and Pompeii. Our guide Gary who founded the company was extremely informative about the history and culture of the Navajo people. He helped us climb to an alcove which would have been difficult without aid. He sang Dine songs, accompanying himself with drum and guitar. He also played a beautiful Navajo flute made by his son. IF YOU TAKE ONE TOUR of Monument Valley MAKE IT NAVAJO SPIRIT.

Life changing experience - There are no words to adequately describe the life changing experience we had with Gary on our mini-retreat into the sacred Mystery Valley. My friends and I are spiritual seekers and alternative healing therapists. We were divinely guided to Gary and to Navajo Spirit Tours and the experience exceeded our expectations. Gary took us on an unforgettable journey. We connected with our animal totems and experienced a sacred connection to the ancient Anasazi people that inhabited the land centuries ago. Gary interlaced tradition, ceremony and history throughout the tour and it was simply perfect. After the tour, Gary's wife Michelle cooked us the most fabulous traditional Navajo dinner of fry bread with beef brisket and we were able to get a peek at their renovations of their upcoming new gift shop and gallery inside of an old trading post they are restoring. The clay techniques they were using to restore the building were amazing. My friends and I spent 10 days total in the South West, but our 4 hours with Gary is the memory we will take with us for a lifetime.

Beauty and Mystery in One Tour - This was my second excursion with Navajo Spirit Tours. The first was in 2023, with Garry Holiday as our guide. Just like her father, Syreea (I hope I’ve spelled that correctly) is an outstanding guide. Knowledgeable, entertaining, with a great personality, she is also an excellent driver, which on those back roads is a critical skill. We couldn’t ask for a better guide to an area I was not at all familiar with. She told us much about the Anasazi people, the culture of the Diné, as well as the composition of the sandstone… i.e., the difference between hard and soft sandstone, something I was not aware of. Thank you to all of the Holidays, including Miesha, who has a smile that you can hear in her voice on the phone. I will recommend Navajo Spirit Tours to any of my friends and acquaintances who will be traveling to Monument Valley.

Outstanding experience - Private Tour - We took a private all day tour, Mystery Valley and Monument Valley. Larsen Homer was our outstanding tour guide. Larsen is easy to talk with, funny, and blends Navajo lore and culture, learned from his grandmother and mother, into his commentary. He is very observant and quickly picked up our interest in pottery, dwellings and wall art and tailored our tour taking us to places normally not visited. The beauty of Monument Valley and surroundings speak for themselves. Having a Navajo guide speak to the beauty above, the beauty below, and beauty to the sides makes this an especially terrific and worthwhile experience. Larsen even managed to have two 🌈 at the mittens when we left the park. What more could you ask for.

Once in a Lifetime Experience! - We took the Mystery Valley Tour. This was more than a tour. It felt like we were truly visiting with our Navajo Cheii (grandfather). It was a privilege to venture away from the regular tourist spots and off the beaten path to where Gary grew up and used to explore the rocks and echoing valleys. We saw dinosaur tracks, ruins, petroglyphs, and more. We saw where an ancient pottery kiln once was, and the scattered shards were everywhere. He spoke of a history of the Dine people that I don't think you can get anywhere else. His talents as a musician were transcendent as he played his flute and sang his traditional songs where the rocks could echo back. I think I will carry that memory with me to calm me in times of need. It was quite spiritual, not to mention the splendor of the rocks and scenery and the adventure of the off-road experience. I highly recommend this tour. It was once in a lifetime.
