Traveler reviews
Mars on earth
Instead of dealing with broken down car and tire enjoy this Mars world in this awesome and reasonable price for 4. We strongly recommend and Eva tour guide is awesome
Perfect trip!
Harry allowed us to discover the backcountry of Monument Valley via paths not accessible to the general public; I recommend it 100%!
We had a fantastic...
We had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend doing a guided tour compared to driving it yourself. The road is tough and while my suv would have survived it was very bumpy. Trevino was our guide and was amazing. He was kind and answered all of our questions. He provided insight into the monument valley formation names, history behind them, movie history, Navajo traditions, and photo tips. I would highly recommend doing this if you’re in the area.
A great option for those that don’t want to drive the 17 mile loop themselves.
This is the perfect option if you have a rental car and feel squeamish taking it on the bumpy, 17 mile dirt road loop. 1.5 hours was just right for us as we were passing through on our way to Durango and wanted a quick visit. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Cliff was very personable and responsive to our requests. This tour was reasonably priced.
