Sunrise anticipation - Wonderful experience in the Navajo Tribal Park watching the sun rise and learning about the Navajo people. Shadows on the rocks are constantly changing as the sun rises creating beautiful and serene vistas.

What an opportunity - Wear warm clothes and coats! We were on 30th sept and hat and gloves were needed. Amazing sights and photo opportunities. You get to see a lot of ‘off the general track’ sights and insight to Native American culture. Marjorie was a great driver and guide.

A Magical Sunrise Tour with Tesla – Simply Unforgettable - We had an amazing sunrise tour of Monument Valley with our guide, Tesla – and it was absolutely unforgettable! The views were stunning, and Tesla made the experience even more special with her incredible knowledge and personal touch. She shared fascinating stories about the valley, making every stop feel meaningful. The highlight for us was when she played a beautiful tune on her flute. It was so emotional and perfectly matched the breathtaking scenery. It made the whole experience feel really magical. Even with all the personal touches, Tesla stayed completely professional, making sure everything ran smoothly and everyone felt comfortable. If you’re thinking about a tour in Monument Valley, Tesla is the one to go with. She is warm, passionate, and truly makes the experience unforgettable. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Beautiful tour with beautiful views and a very good guide - Larry was a great guide. The tour took longer than planned, so definitely had value for money. Larry knew the best places for a photo, told a lot about the indigenous culture and played the flute especially for our group. An unforgettable experience!

Great experience - Sunrise misty but great experience with our super Tesla guide. She took the time to speak softly (for us French who speak medium English 😁) and she knew how to transport us in her culture and places. And what about the amazing site!!

No-show by them. - I initially gave this company a 1/5 because they did not even show up to pick me up for my sunrise tour. It was extremely stressful for me as I had travelled from far for 1 day here and wanted to experience the sunrise. I waited half an hour for them, tried contacting them, without any success. I chose the company because of their high rating. Having subsequently managed to contact the company and asked for an explanation, they said that - for some reason of which I’m not aware - they had not even recorded my name as being booked up and paid for their tour. They initially denied I was booked with them but after some unnecessary back and forth with them where I had to send them proof of my prepaid booking, they eventually said they had made a mistake and gave me a refund. They also have offered me a complementary tour for a future visit. Therefore I am changing my review to a 3/5. This trip to Monument Valley was a one-off - I live in a different country - so I won’t have the opportunity to take up their complementary offer. So while their refund does reimburse me financially, it does not excuse their mistake nor the stress caused to me running around trying to find and contact them, without success, nor me having to try to secure a last-minute backup and pay whatever the alternative provider demanded of me. So overall, not a good experience with them but they have, in part, made good. I would advise using them with caution. They have a good overall rating from any others so I partly give them the benefit of the doubt over their mistake with me. But mistakes like this should not happen - they should update their systems and processes to ensure that something as straightforward as this does not happen again with other clients.
