Stunning views - Took a tour which was led by Will cowboy. Nothing was too much trouble and was very passionate about his culture going in to great detail and the tour was never rushed .
Hardly saw another tour on this route and virtually had the place to yourself .
Only another six people on our tour so was not cramped and Will ensured you got to see the best views and had time to take photos and ask questions.
Amazing your made more special by Wills guidance and experience .

Garry Holiday is a great tour guide - The tour with Garry was magical. He gave us space when we just wanted to look around and shared his knowledge when we asked. Best parts were when he talked about growing up in Monument Valley. I would highly recommend him and this company. It was perfect

A must do!!! - We took the all day tour which included Monument and Mystery Valleys. Our guide, Shawn, was very knowledgeable about the area and told us many stories about his people. We were able to view many breathtaking creations that we would have been unable to see if we had only driven the scenic drive. The highlight of the tour was our stop at Big Hogan. Shawn and two other tour guides entertained us with traditional music....the flute, the drum, and a song. This tour is definitely the way to go!!!

Walking with the Ancient Ones. - We met a man last week. He was a very quiet young man. A very proud young man, He told us stories and when he bent down to draw signs on the freshly cleared earthen canvas, we were drawn into his stories and listened of his family’s history. Hundreds of years of history. He told us how they lived, how they farmed, how they built their homes and took us to several locations where we could stand amongst the ruins. He took us to panel after panel of ancient pictographs and explained some of the meanings. It was fascinating.
He told us that he was born and raised in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, his family’s ancestral lands. How as a young man he was drawn to the wilderness to explore his world and learn of the old ones and their ways.
His name is Sean, and he was our guide for a Mystic valley tour under beautiful, clear Utah skies. and later a sunset tour of Monument valley. He taught himself how to play a three-segment flute and compose his own beautiful songs, some of which he played for us. Sean had a wealth of knowledge about his People. He is a very proud Navajo and is learning all he can in order that he can pass it along to the younger generations.
Sean and his people have left an impression on my soul. I will never picture Monument Valley as I have in the past. I see the beauty of the monoliths in the fading light but now I feel breath of the people who call it home.
Thank you Sean and your Family for teaching me.

What a great experience! - First and foremost; Larson is the best guide we have ever had. And we’ve been on many tours around the world.
The sites are all excellent. I think my favorite was the house of many hands (not positive of name). But many more locations stand out. Second favorite was the window.
We learned so much of the geology, history and lore of the area. But to top it off, Larson played his native flute for us. It was amazing!

Amazing and Magical - Highly Recommend!! - We did the Monument and Mystery Valley tours with Will Cowboy. This was an amazing, special day. In addition to the stunning scenery, we learned so much about the land's history, the Navajo who lived there, and information about Navajo culture and family. The area itself is stunning and fascinating. Will was terrific, we could not have asked for a better experience.

Outstanding Tour - My husband and I took this tour so we could see parts of Monument Valley that you can’t normally see on your own. Will was our tour guide and he was absolutely awesome. Sharing stories about his family and heritage. This was our 3rd Native American tour and the best one of all. We never knew there were so many movies filmed in Monument Valley and not all of them were westerns. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Thank you Will for sharing your stories, memories and your heritage with us!

An experience not to be missed! Sean is fantastic. - We did the Mystery Valley & the Sunset Monument valley tours, both with Sean as our fantastic guide.
It was fabulous to get away from the crowds and see areas so steeped in history. We loved hearing about the Navajo culture and Sean has a great skill in storytelling that kept us fully engaged learning about the Navajo history, their life in the area and customs.
Sean played the flute so beautifully and that was a really special and moving experience.
Definitely an experience not to be missed - thank you Sean for allowing us to visit your beautiful lands and sharing with us.
