Extraordinary!!! - This excursion will remain etched in our heads for a very long time! Besides the scenery that was breathtaking, our awesome driver guide Navajo took us to places that only they have the secret! It was fabulous!!!

Excellent tour to immerse yourself in Monument Valley and its history - I really recommend this tour. One of the best parts was being with an authentic Navajo guide, and how she integrated us into the culture and explained everything very well. It would have not been the same without the guide. We learned about the Navajo people, their songs, the culture, the amazing rock formations that she took us to, and what they mean to them. The 4x4 was nice because it was open, so we could see everything as we were driving through monument valley.

Wonderful experience - Our guide Richard was very informative and had many interesting stories about growing up in the area. He had a wonderful sense of humor and even played the flute for us. It was very magical hearing the sound echo off the rock formation. He offered to take pictures of us and even showed us a few photo tips. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Great Personal Tour of MV! - Our tour guide Richard was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and told us personal stories about living in Monument Valley. I highly recommend this tour as you get to see things you wouldn’t see just by driving through and the personal stories, really bring meaning to this special place.

SO glad we chose this tour! - Richard gave us so much attention, laughs, and photo suggestions/opportunities. The tour felt like it was designed specifically for us. He took us to the best back country sites. We are SO glad we didn't try to make due with the self-tour that doesn't allow for access to the back country. Highly recommend!

Best experience - Has a wonderful and very memorable tour. We learned so much about Monument Valley and our tour guide Cody even answered questions we had for outside the park. Cody was the best! Loved it was open air as we saw some that were in vans. Even though we got a little sandy, we got to experience and see the entire park. Saw and learned more than if we drove ourselves. Thanks Cody and Ralph!

Sights of a lifetime! - Wayne was the best, the sights incredible! Come home and watch The Searchers or Stagecoach, you were just there! You won't miss a thing on this tour, and you're lucky if you get Wayne as guide, trust me.

Great Trail at sunset.... - Great Trail at sunset. The Navajo guide is Nice but spend most of her time talking about Navajo legacy and struggles to protection their culture , language, their spirituality etc… important and understandable but it’s too much.
