Beautiful experience, the Bruce guide really perfect! - Beautiful experience with full exploration of the Monument Valley, embellished by our guide Bruce who told us with sympathy information about the geology of the territory, Navajo history, culture, as well as being a formidable photographer! It definitely deserves without a second thought!

Awesome Tour - Bruce was our tour guide and we couldn’t have done better. The tour was on time for the pickup and since the morning was quite cool, we had a van for the trip. Bruce was very knowledgeable about all of the stops along the way and educated us about the different parts of the valley and Navajo culture and how they respect the land. We were very impressed with the experience and the absolute beauty of this place. Thank you Bruce for the hospitality and the knowledge you shared with us.

A moment of extraordinary sharing - We were treated to a luxury tour of Monument Valley with our guide CHERYL. She stopped us in the best places, advised us to take pictures, also took pictures. We had an emotional moment when Cheryl sang a Navajo song that her grandmother was playing to her. Merci Cheryl.

Amazing tour for up-close experience - Our tour included only 4 guests. It was a stunningly beautiful morning. Our guide, Sandrea, was informative and very friendly. She gave us plenty of time to explore. We were very pleased with this tour. The only downside (completely out of control of the tour company) was a diatribe against the “white man” by the lady in the kiva. It was awkward and unexpected. Otherwise, it was a wonderful tour and we enjoyed it immensely.

Full day tour - My 8 year old daughter and I did the full day tour that included Monument Valley and Mystery Valley. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience! The scenery itself was beautiful, but what really made the experience was our tour guide, Larry! Larry is so knowledgeable and kind, we really learned a lot from him and thoroughly enjoyed our day spent with him. He climbed with my daughter up to an arch for a good photo, and she’s told everyone we know how that was her highlight of our week long trip! Thank you Larry for an unforgettable experience! My daughter says 5 stars isn’t enough, Larry gets 100 stars!

Amazing Scenery, Mediocre Tour - While the scenery was amazing, we were a bit disappointed with this tour. We signed up for the extended tour which advertised a 3 1/2 hour tour, but we waited 20 minutes for a couple that never showed up and the tour ended at 11:45 (which was 15 minutes early) so we felt shortchanged a bit. Our guide Duffy had a lot of information for us, but sometimes presented it in a condescending way. He also mentioned he was leaving this company for another tour company in the near future. Add in the incredibly rough road and, while we were glad we did the tour, it did not meet our expectations..
