Great guide for a beautiful landscape! - The tour with John was spectacular! We got to go places not accessible to the public, and John was friendly, and so knowledgeable about features of the Valley and his Navaho culture, history, and present situation. There were only two of us with him, so it felt like it was curated just for us - he even played flute for us! It is a beautiful, beautiful landscape, and John was the perfect guide. I definitely recommend this company!

Nice trip through the Dineh Bekeyah and the navajo culture - Beautiful and various landscapes through the south back of Monument Valley, reach interesting comments on cultural, ethnographic, linguistic and historical items (Dineh/Navajos, Dineh Bekeyah (Navajo Land), Dinehtah, Dineh Bizaad (navajo idiomes)...). Very good guide (a woman), very professional with strong knowledges about the Navajos (s.l.) ; a big comftable 4WD véhicule.

Lovely cultural tour of Monument Valley. - Our driver/tour guide, Yvonne, was very knowledgeable, clear and fun. We super appreciated her flute playing at one of the arch viewpoints. We also enjoyed our visit with Loretta at the hogan. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.

A once in a lifetime experience that will leave you with a face hurting from so much smiling - If there is only one thing you do on your US trip: make it this tour. My face hurt from smiling so much because it made me so happy. We were very lucky because we had the whole vehicle and tour to ourselves. Our guide was super lovely and generously shared her knowledge and wisdom with us and was always happy to answer our questions. Thanks to her we saw great places and learnt a lot about the people and their rich culture and history. Monument Valley is such a special place and our guide did an amazing job at making us feel connected to the place. These couple of hours will always, always stay close to my heart. Thank you so much <3

Amazing land and people - It was an amazing discovery of natural beauty and of the wonderful Navajo culture. Our guide John was very friendly and gave us an incredible amount of detailed information. He knows everything and is very passionate in transmitting his knowledge. We really enjoyed every aspect of the tour and would highly recomend it to anyone.

Awesome photos, great guide, well worth the cost. - We took so many photos our cameras all died. Our guide Harry Nez was super knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts of the history of the area as well as photo tips and his heritage. Went to spots you cannot get to on your own. Loved it. Highly recommend you take a tour and Do Not drive your own car into Monument Valley.

Loved the jeep ride into the back area. - We had a lovely back country ride with tour guide Lee. He helped us take some amazing photographs. Unfortunately, the day we were there the person who gives the rug demonstration was not available.

The cultural tour helped us to understand the people who call this area home - We were unsure which tour to book or which company to go with. We wanted to understand more about the people who have called this area home for generations. Not just seeing pretty scenery, although wanted that too. Our tour guide Yvonne was wonderful. So full of information and always with in-depth knowledge of culture, religion and history. Always willing to answer questions. She took us to some special places that we never would have seen on a self-guided tour. Really glad we booked this tour. Thank you, Yvonne.

Excellent tour - Excellent guided tour. Joseph, our guide, was warm and friendly and did a very good job telling the history and sharing the stories of the Dine (Navajo people). The drive was breathtaking, and the stops were leisurely. We did not feel rushed, and we were able to soak up the dramatic sites and the sounds of the birds. Joseph took some memorable photos for us that enhanced the experience even more. Highly recommend this tour company .
