Traveler reviews
Great Monument Valley experience!
I’m not much of a tour person, I typically prefer to go alone. But this time I booked a tour to get to learn more - and it was 110% worth it. We got to go to lovely spots, got to learn about Navajo history and culture and had a great and very memorable afternoon.
Recommended any day!
The tour was terrific! Guide Nate was a star (actually, 5 Star)!
Spectacular!
Our guide LARRY was great. Knowledgeable of the area and shared family stories. He was a great host as well as guide. Would highly recommend the tour to have a greater appreciation of the area and the Navajo nation.
Unforgettable tour of Monument Valley
Larry was a fantastic guide. He told many stories and shared with us his incredible knowledge and wisdom of his people about this sacred place. It was an amazing experience.

The tour was excellent. The scenery was spectacular and our guide, Sandrea, was extremely informative. She also answered all our questions.
