Canyon de Chelly Tour - Our three hour tour with Jason was memorable in so many ways. Jason was a great guide! The places he showed us, the stories he told, and the living history that he conveyed made our experience one we'll never forget. Highly recommended!

A 3 hour jeep tour in the canyon. - Reginald was extremely knowledgeable about the canyon’s history and its people. He related stories of his own and played the flute; making the experience even more memorable. We would not hesitate to recommend him as a guide!

Outstanding experience! - We had an amazing canyon tour today. Our guide Reggie knew so much about the history of the area and Navajo people. He even played us some beautiful music on a Native American flute. We highly recommend him and the company. Very professional!

Great Experience! - We had an AMAZING tour, our only regret is that we did not book a full day. We were able to add an hour, so we had a total of 4 hours, but really wish we had the full day. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, I can't say enough good things about the experience!

Personal tour of canyon - Saw lots of beautiful ancient wall art and got great pics. And then saw lots of cliff ruins. Our guide Reggie shared lots of history and personal memories of the canyon throughout our drive. Loved his beautiful flute playing echoing off the canyon walls. Lived up to all my expectations!! Thanks Reggie!

The only way to see an amazing gem of a site! - This tour was one of the best experiences I have ever had while traveling, in the U.S. or abroad! Our guide, Jason D., picked us up at our motel, the superb Best Western in Chinle, and took us out on an amazing 3-hour tour. He gave us an expert’s view of the canyon and the various sites, while also giving us a local’s perspective on life in the area and in the canyon. The vehicle was a clean and comfortable SUV that had been modified with a waterproof engine compartment and a lift kit. Jason expertly drove us through deceptively smooth, sandy terrain where an ordinary SUV could easily get stuck, and up, down, and across inclines, embankments, and streams where his many years of experience really showed. I have seen many canyons from above, but this was one where I have to say that if we had only driven along the North or South Rims, we would have missed out on so much. I am so glad that we saw it from the canyon floor with Jason. This tour truly elevated our experience of this exceptional site to another level. My only regret is that we did not have time to take the full day tour. if ever we have the chance again, I will definitely book the whole day tour with Jason.

Canyon de Chelly tour - Reginald was a great tour guide. He gave us a lot of historical and current information about life on the reservation. The sites were amazing. He did a beautiful music demonstration in the Canyon to show how sound travels through it. A great experience.

Fantastic Jeep tour - We had Irene as a tour guide. She was amazing. We started the tour at the same time as a number of other tours, but Irene separated us so we could experience the canyon without distraction from the other vehicles. Her knowledge was remarkable. She personalized the tour adapting to our questions and our areas of interest.

A wonderful place and a great tour - We took the 3 hr tour at 1pm with Canyondechelleytours.com. The car was a very comfortable SUV. The place was breathtaking! Our guide Percy, a Navajo who lived closed by, was both friendly and very knowledgeable. He also went out of his way, literally, to return a pair of sunglasses that I had left behind. Highly recommended.
