Monument Valley tour - We really enjoyed our 2.5 hour guided tour of monument valley. Our tour guide Joe, went out of his way to explain the names of the formations and the possible origins. He also spoke about the beliefs, customs and traditions of the Navajo people. And was very helpful with photo techniques using the iPhone. Truly a fun and informative day

Backcountry with John - I loved hearing about the rock formations but of great interest was the look into the Navajo life today and in the past. Our guide, John, told things in an engaging manner. I was impressed with his playing of the wooden flute! Beautiful! I would come back and bring my family next time.

Great Guide - Our guide, Joe, was excellent as well as kind and considerate. We appreciated the information and stories he relayed. Because it was a cold windy morning, the company chose a van instead of the open-air vehicle. This was much appreciated; thank you. We felt sorry for the folks who had to ride with the other companies in the open.

Fantastic Monument Valley Experience - Joe was quite simply one of the best guides we've ever had for a tour of this kind anywhere. He was knowledgeable, interesting, funny, and he kept us entertained throughout the entire trip! We learned a great deal and left with many pictures and a much greater appreciation for this place and its people. Nice and comfortable vehicle, great experience. Highly recommended
