Traveler reviews
2.5 hour tour
Wonderful tour! Joseph was an amazing tour guide. Very informative and fun! The most memorable experience! Highly recommend!
Horrible instructions
I only gave this a 1 because 0 wasn't possible. On my tour day it had been raining so I called 30 minutes before to see if the tour was operating and was told they are trying to determine that and to wait. I called back at the tour time and got the same answer. Then I called back again 30 minutes after the tour was supposed to start and was told it left 15 minutes ago. Since I wasn't at the blue picnic table they left without us. I have the meeting instructions in an email and from the app where the tickets were located and followed them exactly. There is no mention of a blue picnic table. They did say listen for your name to be called where the tour vehicles are lined up which I did sitting outside my car. Of course when trying to get my refund they acted like I was the idiot. Oh and of course I had to pay the $10 per person fee to get in to where the tours meet just to have the above happen and then leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. John was an amazing guide. Provided lots of interesting details about the Navajo nation and all the formations we saw.
