Absolutely fantastic! - It would be a shame to miss out on such an experience! 3 hours of incredible landscapes (and dozens of photo opportunities!), explanations, discovery of Navajo culture. An incredible moment full of emotion, listening to guides singing or playing music, the sound of which is magnified by the place: a high arch of red rock pierced at the top: magical! The visit ends in apotheosis with the sunset on the rocks: unforgettable!

Excellent experience to discover the valley - We had an excellent experience with our guide Cheryl that explained elements not only about the valley but also about the navajo traditions. Cheryl was open to answer all our questions. We learnt a lot about navajo people.

Can't recommend highly enough! - Fascinating and beautiful. The Valley in itself is unforgettable but Jameson adds so much about the formations, the geography, and the struggles, culture, history, beliefs, and even the music of his people. Of course it's also great for photos and perfect for the golden hour.

Memorable Tour through Sacred Land - Sandrea was an excellent tour guide. She handled the rough roads and sand dunes like a pro. More importantly, Sandrea told us personal stories and meanings behind the amazing formations of the valley. I would have never gained the depth of knowledge and appreciation if I did the drive on my own. It was especially touching when she sang a Navajo song while we admired the view from an overlook. Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture and sacred land with us, it was unforgettable!

Efficient and organized staffs - The tour was cancelled because the park was closed for the day. But the staff was very efficient and offered some alternatives. We happily took the next morning tour. The tour was fun and informative.

Wonderful off-road Tour of Monument Valley Behind the Scenes - Wonderful tour with Navajo guide named Jameson. Very pleasant and knowledgeable. Took the group of 7 off the scenic drive for hidden venues. He introduced us to his native American culture. Assisted in picture taking, played tribal musical instruments and sang tribal songs. I had driven the scenic drive myself earlier yet I strongly recommend the 3 hour tour for additional descriptions, access to otherwise unaccessible venues and a comparatively smoother ride in the very comfortable padded open air tour trucks. Jameson got us back to the tour entrance overlook in time to view a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend.
