Cody Is the man. - Incredible experience. Our guide, Cody, was amazing. The whole event was magical and I would highly recommend it. We did the dream catcher tour that included dinner and entertainment. Great food and the whole immersion in their culture was an incredible experience.

Great tour, food & entertainment - We had gone on a previous tour to n the morning and although this was similar, the guides were very different . Both very good. Cody for dreamcatcher had a good sense of humour and knowledge about the valley.

Must do trip!! Simply outstanding.👍🏻👍🏻 - Stanley our tour guide was very informative. He is knowledgeable, patient and knows all the details of the park. His songs, the dinner with the dance and the amazing history of the land makes the trip so memorable. Highly recommend this tour.

Dream Catcher Tour - We had a fantastic experience with Simpson Tours. We signed up for the Dream Catcher Tour which combined a tour of Monument Valley and a dinner and traditional dance. Our family of 5 were the only ones on the tour and the guide took extra special care to cater to our children. Our kids loved the Navajo tacos and we enjoyed a special ceremony in their hogan. Thank you for a special night!

A fantastic tour! - This was a very enjoyable tour! The scenery is unforgettable and our guide Wayne made it better with his knowledge & stories of the area. He sang a beautiful song and played the drum. Then to have a sunset dinner while listening to more stories and also listening to songs with Jamie dancing was wonderful. And then to see all the stars come out was amazing!

The views are worth the trip, the tour guide and experience are a bonus! - I enjoyed my experience and was overall impressed with what was offered. Our tour guide was Cody and he was fun and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of great anecdotes and I felt safe driving on the offroad when he was driving the truck. Along the way, we observed many vehicles being stopped or having trouble doing the offroading/scenic route. I suggest you only drive the offroad route in Monument Valley if you have a reliable vehicle and know which gears to change to. Cody took us to various view points and gave us time to get out and take photos. Overall, an amazing experience and my husband and I were all smiles the whole tour. Here are some tips: - Depending on the time of the year you go, please bring a eye protection, an N95 mask or a rag to cover your face from the dust/dirt from wind. - Bring water! At least two water bottles, as it is a four hour tour. - Bring water/soap to wash your hands or hand sanitizer/wipes. This is what you need before you eat at night. Also when you break for restrooms, you'll want to wash your hands after using as there is no running water. - I highly suggest bringing cash (small bills for tipping or just to buy a picture with a horse at John Wayne's point). Other than that, make sure your phone is charged for some amazing photos! The entertainment at night was fun. Cody got dressed and danced for us as others sang. The Navajo Tacos were delicious! The meat tastes like it's fresh, so it's on the tougher than normal side but is very deliciously seasoned! Bring some good utensils if you want to cut through the meat with ease. We went in October, so it was cold at night. I suggest bringing an extra jacket just in case. The weather is extremely unpredictable so be prepared. We were there and it was sunny during our tour but the next day it rained a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and my husband and I were so grateful to learn about the culture of the Navajo. Thank you Simpson's Trailhandler Tours for the opportunity!

Sunset tour with dinner was just an okay experience - The tour of Monument Valley was interesting, but the dinner and cultural experience was not what we expected. Dinner was fry bread with some beans, lettuce and cheese, similar to a taco and a soda. Meager fare. The cultural experience was question and answer with a few songs while our guide danced. Overall the experience was fine, but not amazing.
