Stunning sights - excellent tour guide - Our Navajo guide generously shared the tribal names of the many formations (and English translations) as well s interesting historical information about the area. He also took some great photos of us! Highly recommend this tour.

Great experience with a great guide - We had a great experience on the tour. It was a pretty chilly day and we were grateful when we saw that Larry, our guide, brought the enclosed van. Not only did he take us to beautiful and interesting spots he also shared his experience of life in the valley. Thank you Larry!

Great sunrise tour - My driver was great. Took me through some back country sites that it very worthwhile: petroglyphs, dunes, wild horses. Just excellent all around.

Best way to visit Monument Valley - My boyfriend and I signed up for this tour the day before heading to Monument Valley. We were debating between doing the self-driving tour or signing up for a guided tour. But we're glad we signed up for this guided-tour and had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Richard! Richard did a great job explaining each of the rock formations as well as sharing his culture and the history of the area. We saw the main rock formations as well as additional rock formations not on the self-driving tour. This tour was definitely the highlight of our road trip around Arizona!

Fantastic memories - A great tour, the guide took us to restricted areas to see some mesmerising rock formations. The road is bumpy so we felt safe with the skilled guide behind the wheel.

The views of Monument Valley cannot be described in words, you must see them. - The views were spectacular and Herbert, our guide, was very knowledgeable and well informed about the valley. He was right on time and very pleasant. I visited Monument Valley in February of this year but Herbert was far more interesting than the guide we had previously.

Driver arrived late and the tour was shorter than booked. - The description of the departure location was a house in turquoise. However, this house belongs to another agency, which didn't know exactly what was going on, and we were sent back and forth. In the end, it turned out that our driver was 30 minutes late and we were actually in the right place. At first, no one was reachable by phone. After calling and texting a lot, we were simply told to wait for the driver. After the tour started 30 minutes later, it was a really great route. (Although every tour probably runs like this) Unfortunately, the driver explained very little and we were back after 2:10 hours (a big difference for a 2.30 hour tour) All in all, the tour was nice, but this wasn't the agency's fault. I would recommend another organization.

awful - Tour in a 20 year old van that is literally falling apart, guide that did not tell us much beside rock names and was mostly talking in a very low voice while we could not hear him in the very noisy van. We did not learn much from him even though he was born there. We were promised open jeep ride and lots of educational material about history of the place. We got none of that. This was not better than going by ourselves. Very disappointed in this tour but the place is still beautiful and therefore 2 stars but 1 star for the tour itself.
