Best tour experience you can wish for! - My partner and I booked the Mystery Valley 4x4 tour by Dineh Bekeya Tours.
I can highly recommend this tour to anyone who's interested to learn more about Monument Valley Navajo Tribal park and the Navajo culture. I am so glad and grateful we got the spend 3 hours with our tour guide named Comasheena, she absolutely blew our minds away with her extensive knowledge and we loved how she educated us on traditions and historic events about the Navajo tribe, and sacred elements of this magical place. Thank you for everything Comasheena, we'll definitely be back!

Amazing 18-hours tour with Harry! - We went for the overnight 18-hours tour with Harry and it was completely amazing. We went to places we would never have been able to go by ourselves, just driving there back and forth was a lot of fun, and the views from the Mesa are completely incredible. Harry took a great care of us, and had a lot of stories to share. We learnt a lot about the Navajo culture. Highly recommend it.

The Full Monty! - Overnight tour had it all: four wheel drive adventure, sunset, sunrise, night skies and a knowledgeable guide that could both share cultural and historic stories but was responsive to our questions and curiosities. Thank you, HARRY! First rate!
