Don’t miss this back country excursion - We purchased the “All-Day Tour” option, which was actually two separate outings with an hour back at the Navajo Welcome Center for lunch. (Bring your own or drive to a local gas station or market.) This afternoon Mystery Valley tour was even more amazing than the morning in Monument Valley. Our guide, Soraya, was very knowledgeable and also shared personal stories that made the area come alive. This tour involves a lot of back country driving, spectacular overlooks, Anasazi ruins, petroglyphs, and a general sense of having gotten off the beaten track. It was marvelous.

Navajo Mystery tour - Very interesting! Will was knowledgeable and engaging. We would recommend the tour to others, because it is an unusual and off-the-road experience.

It is a MUST DO. - As a solo traveller I was looking at being the only one on the tour but the night before 2 others booked on! Our guide was prompt at the pick up location and as soon as we got in the truck he shared amazing wisdom about the area, Navajo culture and each place we visited in Mystery Valley. It was amazing and 100% recommended. Thank you to the admin for keeping in touch about my tour and our tour guide for the unforgettable experience..

A very educational and enriching tour experience - I highly recommend Navajo Spirit Tours. Our Guide, Will Cowboy was a fountain of information on Dine/Navajo culture, history and geology of the area. I wish I had a tape recorder to record all the knowledge, wisdom and stories he shared with us. His passion and enthusiasm for his people and the land he grew up in makes me want to learn more. I have been to many tours led by local Guides but I have to say Will Cowboy is the most authentic and the most enriching.

Navajo Spirit Tours are amazing! - Magical tour of Mystery Valley - part of Monument Valley, but only open to escorted tours by Dine guides. Our guide was wonderful. He encouraged us to ask any and all questions (we did) and he shared the history and legends of his culture. We also got to experience the sunset, as well as beautiful flute music. It was amazing!

Transformational - Garry is wise, kind, and profoundly generous, and he offered me a transformational personal gift of an initiation into the Beauty Way that I don't have adequate words to describe. It was both profoundly beautiful and profoundly meaningful, and I will hold it in my heart and being for the rest of my life. Thank you Garry. And the wonderful bonus was a home-cooked Navajo meal which his wife, Michelle, prepared and served for us. It was the perfect coda to a miraculous evening. Thank you so much!
