Fabulous Tour, Incredible Tour Guide!

What an amazing tour! Our guide, Travis, was the absolute best! We learned so much during this tour of beautiful Monument Valley! The tour was wonderful, in and of itself, but Travis truly made it special! So incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the land and the Navajo people, but also talented with both musical instruments (to which he treated us to a song!) and iPhones (with which he helped us take the perfect photos!). Our trip was a month long dream trip seeing so many beautiful and long imagined sights, but our Monument Valley tribal tour stood out in a huge way, mainly because of Travis! The tour itself is incredible, but if you are so lucky to find yourself led by Travis, consider it a huge gift!
