Fantastic tour! - Very nice tour. Our Guide John gave a lot of explanations and was also very funny. We booked the first tour of the day so it was not yet a surprise of people. The beautiful views of places that are only accessible through the organization are simply fantastic! Highly recommended!

AMAZING! - Monument Valley was amazing . I booked a tour with 3 Sisters Tour, drove there from Bluff, when I got to parking lot, they called, can't book solo tour! Cancelled. Went to booth in parking lot, explained I was solo and what happened. Charlene of Dineh Bekeyah Touurs got me on a tour in 10 minutes. 3 hour back country tour, Elvis was our guide and he was the best guide you could ask for! There were a total of 5 of us, a family from Japan and myself. He even played us a song on one of the stops. Taught us alotof Navajo culture. I'm glad the other company cancelled. Took hundreds of pictures!

Go Native - John, our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable and an overall charming guide. He even played a native tune on his flute! We particularly enjoyed those places in the park where non-native tours can not travel as well as John’s folklore and historical information.

Excellent way to experience the valley - John, our tour guide, did an excellent job. He was patient and knowledgeable and taught us about the valley and the Navajo culture. He went the extra mile by taking our pictures and showing us ways to enhance our photos. I have no words to describe the grandeur of Monument Valley. We have driven into the park before, but the tour takes you on into places you couldn’t go with a car. In fact, don’t take your car if you plan to go far. Wear comfortable clothes with shoes you don’t mind getting a little dusty. There were several stops along the way to help you get the experience of the beautiful nature. The open trucks are the way to go. Be prepared to climb into the truck. We are in our 60’s and did fine. Please take this tour. You won’t regret it!

You go a little further and see a little more. Through Darren Yazzie's explanation and information. - Thanks to the Guide Darren Yazzie we made a fantastic trip. A lot of explanation was given during the ride, plenty of opportunities to take pictures. Informative, humorous and just a little more effort Darren Yazzie made. As a family we enjoyed it.

Good tour - informative and interesting. See extra sights in the back country. - Great tour - very informative with regard to geology and geography, as well as cultural information. Saw all the main sights and extras in the back country. Definitely better than driving our hire car, as it was a bit bumpy! Worth the money. Good advice on photo opportunities too.
