Magnificent and unforgettable - Monument Valley: Backcountry Jeep Tour with Navajo Guide On January 7, 2025, my family and I embarked on an unforgettable journey to the breathtaking Monument Valley with a wonderful guide named Sandreya. My name is Oksana, and I traveled with my son, Andrii, and my husband, Anton. This trip became a cherished memory for us, and we want to share our incredible experience. Sandrea is an extraordinary guide, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a unique and enriching adventure. Her energy, professionalism, and passion for her work made our tour not only informative but also incredibly fun. Monument Valley’s majestic landscapes and iconic views were brought to life through her stories and insights. We visited countless fascinating spots within this awe-inspiring destination and captured those moments with an endless stream of photos. This journey was more than just a trip—it was an experience filled with joy, discovery, and cherished family moments. We are deeply grateful to Sandrea for making it all possible. Thank you for creating memories we will treasure forever! Warm regards, Oksana, Andrey, and Anton

History, beauty, and uniqueness - Larry did a wonderful job as our guide. He answered our questions, gave us plenty of time at the stops, took some great photos of us, and even let our son try out his native flute. Monument Valley in general is a fascinating area steeped in Navajo history, and this tour gave us an opportunity to see sites that aren't accessible to the public, which made it informative and meaningful. Highly recommended!

Monument Valley Tribal Back Country Tour - Larry was wonderful guide. He educated us on the history of the area and was very knowledgeable about his people’s history. Gave us plenty of time to walk around and take photos at each stop. He even played the a beautiful native song on his flute in the Back g Hogan. Highly recommend this tour.

Monument Valley Back Country tour - I had been planning to go by myself, amid all the warnings about driving. Someone convinced me to try a tour, and I'm so glad I did! Our Navajo driver, Larry, was terrific, lively, fun and hugely informative about both Monument Valley and Navajo living. I was in the front seat with him and peppered him with questions! We had several stops, each more scenic than the last, and each with its own story. I learned a lot, and came out with some of the best photos ever, either advised or taken by Larry, who's also quite the skilled photographer. I highly recommend Tribal Tours and Larry!
