Very good experience - Daren was a very genuine, friendly, informative and fun tour guide. He went above and beyond and explained the geology, history, culture and people living in the valley. He drove safely and did not rush through the tour. My group loved the experience.

Fantastic tour with Steven - Our tour guide was Steven and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We could have driven the 17 mile loop by ourselves but seeing the valley with a local was much more interesting and enriching. We were also able to go to several spots that you can’t visit without a guide. I am so glad we booked this tour. I would highly recommend it.

Exploring Monument Valley - This tour was perfect! John was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Navajo Culture and passionate about about sharing his culture with us. He truly loves his job and it shows. 2.5 hours was perfect amount of time to explore Monument Valley. I highly recommend this tour!

Highlight of the year - This experience was one of the highlights of our whole year. An amazing place, and our guide shares so much history, stories, and posed us for some awesome pics. He also played the drum and sang for us. I can’t say enough about it, it was so worth it.

You must do this tour if you’re in Monument Valley! - We had the most amazing tour with Jim! He took us to places that are otherwise inaccessible, and they were absolutely breathtaking. I honestly think they were more beautiful than the more famous ones you can access on the road. Jim was very friendly and hospitable, he provided us with super warm blankets because it was cold out! He answered all our questions and provided us with a ton of fascinating information. We learned a lot about Navajo life and culture. He sang us some beautiful Navajo songs and explained their significance and meaning. He has a wonderful voice! Overall, this tour was the highlight of this trip and made our experience truly special and unforgettable! Thank you Jim!
