Traveler reviews
Recommend Dineh Bekeyah Tours
This was the highlight on a vacation to northeast Arizona. Price was worth it. We had a 20 minute wait at the gate and were late for our tour, but a simple call to the agency was all it took before finally getting to our guide, Elvis. He is very nice and played a song on his flute for us at Big Hogan arch.
We departed right on...
We departed right on time, lots of bottles of cold water during the tour. Our guide John was great and new so much over Monument Valley and the Navajo.
A great immersion with a wonderful guide
Wonderful tour with Joseph, a native from the Navajo nation. We had a great time with him as he was narrating stories from his people and his own life. We asked a lot of questions and he was always keen to answer thoroughly. He took a lot of photos for us, being very creative and technical. Great time! Bonus: we didn’t pay for both kids (under 9)
Great insightful tour
We took this tour with John our guide, and had a really great experience. The tour allowed us to go to areas of monument valley that we would not have been able to access without a guide. We saw authentic Navajo hogans which we weren't expecting. Our guide provided water also which was welcome on such a hot day. The tour is bumpy, so if you do not to well with rougher terrain, keep that in mind! The fee was very reasonable given how long the tour actually was (just over 2.5hours). We had a small group of about 8 total.
CHECK 1 OFF THE BUCKET LIST
Our decision to take this tour instead of driving ourselves was exactly what we wanted. A guide that could give us history of the park, of the Navajo people and the inside things to look for and see. Joe filled that beyond our expectations His contribution was outstanding, " thank you Joe"
