Traveler reviews
Great way to see Monument Valley
Great tour with access to restricted areas. I really enjoyed this tour versus the less expensive self driving tour. For starters someone else is doing the driving and giving a running commentary while you can focus on the incredible views all around you. The open air seating gives you 360 degree views but can be a little dusty if there is other traffic. I would recommend bringing a bandana or mask to reduce dust exposure on the dirt roads. Our guide Bob was quite knowledgeable and helpful and answered any and all questions. There was a native entertainment portion that was thoroughly enjoyable. You may want to change out of your dusty clothes after completing the tour.
Fabulous guided tour
Fab experiance , Harry our guide was informative , giving insight into the Navajo life and wildlife etc , amazing sights and beautiful area . Had the whole tour to ourselves which was even better
Wonderful tour with Roz.
The back country tour is worth seeing. The tour company good. It was great seeing where movies were made. And the history of the Navajo Nation. Our tour guide Roz was fantastic.
Rough road
The loading area was hard to find when we arrived. When we finally found it, the older man looked at my phone and couldn’t figure out where to put us. At least there was someone else who knew what to do. The ride was incredibly rough and bumpy. It was also hard to get in and out of the truck for an older person. The first part of the road was fine - smooth gravel. They need to fix the road around the monuments. The places we stopped were only there for us to buy things. The driver did an okay job of telling us what we were looking at, but not good enough for a tip. We paid a big fee for this and I wasn’t about to add to it. Don’t expect great service here!
