Great tour - We had a wonderful time with our guide John. He was able to give us the history and the culture. The back country part of the trip was extra special. We were so glad we didn’t do this on our own. Leave the vehicle in the parking lot.

A magical and privileged moment! - An unforgettable discovery of Monument Valley but also of the Navajo culture we had an approach with our guide Stephen. He made us feel and understand life in the time of his ancestors, giving us explanations about the surrounding nature, legends, preservation of the site... A magic tour. Merci.

You can't miss it!! - A unique experience! The kind you'll always carry in your heart. Our guide Herry was fantastic helpful and great fun. It took us to unique places, not accessible to cars entering the park independently. I recommend the tour to those who go here, the experience is worth every dollar spent. Highly recommended

Recommended! - John was a great guide. He told a lot, made sure we sometimes got somewhere before others and helped with photos and settings. Would definitely recommend a tour, not to drive your rental car the 17-mile loop and see something more.

Exciting!!!! - This morning we spent two and a half hours unique!!!! the landscape of the Monument Valley is crazy, surreal for the immense spaces, colors and uncontaminated nature that surrounds you at 360 °. John, our Navajo guide, described in an engaging way the beauties we admired and told us a lot about native customs and customs.
Experience that I recommend to everyone

Monument Valley off road jeep experience. - Best money we ever spent. Roc, our guide was funny, informative and generous with her time. She even played her Native American flute to us. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. A truly inspiring day.
Some challenging terrain but felt very safe in our guides hands.

Not good value for money - While the tour guide was friendly, the tour was conducted fairly casually and apparently we ran out of time because, without any explanation to us, we immediately returned to the Visitor Center after the back country section, and missed completing the remainder of the main circuit. And we finished the tour early as well, certainly not 2.5 hours or 28 miles.
Very disappointed, didn't learn much and felt it was a waste of money.
Even if we had completed the full tour, we feel our conclusion would be the same. It is basically a money making opportunity for the locals. Certainly pay the entry fee, but dont bother with a tour if self drive is not an option.
