Don't miss this beautiful, insightful, adventure - The whole experience was fantastic to begin with, but it was made even better by our guide Jameson. He was super informative, friendly, and talented. Jameson played us some very beautiful songs on his double flute. He also took us to the most amazing spots for pictures. We learned so much about the native culture. It was an experience we will never forget.

Worth waking up for! - Getting out on tour early is the way to go! We barely saw another person. Also, the included back country portion was very special.

A sunset tour of Monument Valley is not to be missed! - Our tour guide, Jameson, was excellent! We totally enjoyed our tour as we saw more than we thought we would, and he was able to give us great information about the people there and the land. He helped with pictures too. I can't recommend this tour enough!

Worth 5am Travel - Everyone we net on tours said sunrise is the way to see these monoliths. And they were right. It may mean getting up at 5am, but the angles were perfect for lighting in photos. Bring layers as it is very windy and cold while waiting and bring face coverings to protect from the blowing sands. The transport is open air. The guides although nice will only talk if asked questions, so dont be shy. Wish they told us stories and lore at each stop, but everyone is there to take photos. And there are around ten stops!!!

Sunrise at Monument Valley - Once again, we had a beautiful morning. We wanted to share the valley and the sunrise with our good friends who had never been here before. We all loved the views, the stories, and the drum beating that welcomed the sun.

Capturing the Moment in Monument Valley - Our guide”s (Jameson) timing, advice, positioning and knowledge was superb. He enabled me to capture superb photos and I could not be more satisfied with the results.

Sunrise Monument Valley Tour - The sunrise tour provided ample opportunities for photos with breathtaking views, sunlight and shadows. Carol provided some past and present Navajo history and provided photo tips and identified vantage points for great shots.
