Incredible Tour - This was an amazing tour. We drove in Monument Valley the day before on our oun and was concerned we would just see the same thing. Cody was our driver, tour guide, entertainer, and camera expert. He took us on roads that are private, only for the tours. It was incredible to see the different structures and arches. Cody knew the names of everything and the history of the Navajo Nation. It was a great experience. We also had the Navajo Taco dinner by the bonfire with dancing and story telling. We truly enjoyed every minute of this tour and would do it again.

A must do experience - The whole experience was so wonderful! The scenery is breathtaking, the music amazing and the guide informative and entertaining. We especially liked the flute playing, the extra attention to making sure we had the best camera shot and the storytelling around the campfire. The dinner itself was so so but it didn’t matter as the experience itself was beyond words.

Fantastic Tour - Fantastic Tour Today we did a fantastic Dreamcatchers Tour with Cody. He was the bomb. It was good to learn some history of this beautiful place. The fried bread dinner was yummy. Entertainment after dinner was informative as well as entertaining. I would recommend this tour. M&W Donaldson

Best experience of our trip - Fabulous! Our sunset photo tour was great from the moment we met our guide, Donna. She was friendly, interesting, and thoughtful as she shared information about the geology, history, and her experiences guiding photographers and film crews through the valley. Donna led us at a comfortable attentive pace. Guiding us as we chased the light through areas we were unable to see on the self guided 17 mile drive. She noted when we wanted to capture a view and shared favorite spots with us. It was the most special experience of our Arizona Utah road trip. Thanks so much Donna

An evening to remember - We booked this tour a few days out. Speaking to Ralph a co-owner felt like speaking to an old friend. He was both helpful and knowledgeable. The directions to where the tour left were accurate and easy to follow. The trucks are well used but do a good job and the guides (we had Cody) was personable, knowledgeable and very happy to take photos and suggest places to go (such as the ear of the wind). You get some appreciation of the size of Monument Valley on this tour. The dinner and cultural aspect of the tour is also well done (don’t expect toilets out there, it is remote). You return to the View Hotel around 8.30-9.00. It’s a long afternoon but definitely worth it!

Wonderful experience - This was a fantastic experience! Great setting out in the middle of Monument Valley under a massive cliff face at sunset and later, a full moon to highlight our group. The dancer, Kody (?), did his Stallion and Crow dance among other dances. The leader, Howard (?), also gave a pretty good explanation of the Navajo people and how the kids have to follow the blood lines when courting someone else. Interesting stuff. Only wish they'd given us an opportunity for Q and A at the end. Definitely recommend. Oh yeah, Rookie tip for us non- Americans: don't put the beans on your Navajo taco. It soaks it through and the whole thing collapses like a wet sandcastle. Go bean free!

Jamie made this experience unforgettable - Absolutely LOVED this experience with Jamie as our guide. He was knowledgeable and entertaining and took some cool camera shots for all 8 of us. He got us to all the special places when no one else was around. His flute playing at The Big Hogan touched my soul. The meal at the end, along with a true Navajo singer and dancer was very cool. I WILL be back to do the overnight. Thank you, Jamie

Dreamcatcher Monmument Valley tour. A must do experience - Jamie was an outstanding tour guide, he was educational, informative about the Navajo culture, patient answering questions, assisted a number of us taking outstanding photos with our iPhones that we didn’t know could be done. It was absolutely one of our most memorable experiences. Without the tour driving around Monument Valley wouldn’t have meant anything.
