Highly recommend doing a tour not doing on own - Helen our tour guide was amazing. Gave us great tour to part of the valley for tours only. She even treated us to singing a beautiful Navajo song. Highly recommend. Saw so much more and learnt a lot.

Spectacular views and people! - The scenery is spectacular- unique and stunning. It cannot even be captured in photographs. Our guide, Vernon, really made the trip. Vernon is knowledgeable, gracious and teaches you about the lands history and meaning. You’ll be glad to have met him.

Outstanding tour, company went the extra mile - My wife and I had an outstanding tour. We scheduled a tour on Monday after daylight saving time, and realized we were going to arrive 1/2 hour after the tour started☹️. The owner of the company Shannon, meet us at the starting area and gave us a personal tour. Clearly it was our fault but the owner went the extra mile, in her words, you drove a long way to get here and I didn’t want you not to have a tour. The tour was more than we could have hoped for and the knowledge and person stories made it one we will remember for the rest of our lives. There were stories about the movies filmed there with members of her family, rock stars making videos and our favorite was about her family and growing up and the Navajo traditions. Truly worth twice the money, you won’t be disappointed.

Incredible experience - It was an incredible tour! Vernon took us to many remarkable places and was so knowledgeable. He had great stories and shared information about the area. We were able to bring our dog along which made the experience even better.

Great guide, great tour - We did a jeep tour with a Navajo guide who explained the monuments and answered to all my questions. It was fun for the kids, amazing for the beauty of the place and since not many people were there, a perfectly incredible visit.

Informative and educational - The three sisters tour was very informative and interesting. Our guide shared not only Navaho history, but many personal and family experiences growing up in a traditional Navaho family

Deeply disappointing tour - The views were beautiful-really amazing and awe-inspiring-but the experience was deeply disappointing. Our guide merely gave us the name of each monument -no history, geology, or Navajo culture or folklore. We didn’t learn a thing. I would not recommend this tour group.

Good guide, awful company - The only good thing about this tour was our guide, Vernon. He was well informed, knew his way around the inside of the park and was a safe driver on some pretty bad terrain. The rest of the experience left a lot to be desired. The wrong car picked us up, the communication between the drivers and the management is non existent. The vehicle was in terrible shape, doors didn't close well, the inside panels of the door was loose, the driver window had to be pulled up with two hands because it did not work. The driver had to stop and ask for gas money because the gas tank was so low. There was no lunch stop as stated in the full day tour - because they sent a driver with a half day tour occupants already in the car. There was also no Navajo taco stop at John's point as stated in the tour. Luckily the driver took us with him to the gas station and we ate there before the afternoon session. As we were waiting for the gas money and afternoon session to be sorted out a different vehicle pulled up, different tour name on it and the woman in it tried to add two more people to our car. She handed the driver cash for gas and we left after talking to the owner of the company by phone. Who was apologetic but did nothing to make the situation better. This company is unorganized and does not communicate well. Avoid and use another.
