A great tour. Highly recommend if you only want to do 1 tour. THIS IS IT!!

Great tour. Saw Valley in light & then as sun began to set. Guide (Levander) was informative & entertaining, giving an insight into his life in the valley. Looked after every member of the tour carefully. Took us to all the best spots & gave us photo tips. Set off on time & Rounded off tour exactly at sunset/moonrise for fabulous pics from visitor centre. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Well worth it.

Unique experience

Fantastic experience at Monument Valley. Our driver Levander took us to discover beautiful places that would otherwise be inaccessible. He told us about his history and let us go inside one of their homes. It was undoubtedly the experience that made our visit to Monument Valley unique, enriching it with enormous value. Absolutely recommended for seeing both the most famous spots and the other fabulous places that you will only see when accompanied by local Navajos.

Discovery of Monument Valley at sunset

Special mention for our guide (Levander), who is passionate about photography and has an incredible knowledge of the site. We appreciated his way of helping us discover this exceptional site through anecdotes, jokes, beliefs, and traditions. Without a guide, it will be impossible for you to take the trails to see the best spots. To be added to the activity, the park entrance ticket ($10/person) to be purchased online or on-site. And if you are coming from far away like us, watch out for jet lag 😉

Navajo Journey with Derek the Guide

Derek our tour guide was great! Spent almost 3 hours taking us around the dirt back roads of the Navajo Rez , we started before sunrise and got to watch the sun come up at the desert as a back drop to the beautiful Navajo mountains. Derek explained many things weaving storytelling in between and singing. A memorable experience and thanks to Derek.

Once in a life-time sunset guided tour with Derick

We had the most amazing, inspiring and meaningful experience with Dineh Bekeyah Tours. The organization is really good and thanks to Derick Holiday the guided tour was an immersion into the culture of the Dineh people, which was exactly what we had came here for. We were not looking for a tourist Bird Eye view of MV but for an encounter with this sacred land and its people.. Thanks Derick for sharing part of your culture, story, the wisdom of your people and much more with us. We will never forget this experience and you as a person. Merci !
