Great guide with great narration about the Navajo - Had a great time listening to the guide sharing facts about the Navajo and stories about the culture. The ride was enjoyable and he gave us ample time to explore the stops inside the back country.

A Truly Great Tour of a Special Place - The entire tour was very good. Our Navajo guide (Joe) was outstanding. He gave us a great amount of information about the area and made the experience so memorable. We went to places that are not accessible except for being on a tour. There are several companies offering tours in Monument Valley, and I cannot imagine that any of them could be any better.

Great tour of Monument Valley - This was an excellent and informative tour of Monument Valley. Our guide, Joe, gave many insights into Navajo life and the history of the valley. And the part of the tour on backroads was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful Experience - Highly rated this. If you get lucky your guide will be Joe. The information you get can not be obtained from a book or the Internet. Do not miss this opportunity.

Do it! - So much fun! Our guide played the flute while we all sat/leaned on the smooth rock under an opening in the rock formation. It was so peaceful and one of my favorite AZ memories (and I've lived here for 10 years).

Great overall experience and happy we did it. - My husband and I really enjoyed the tour and our guide, Joe, was great. He was very informative of Navajo ways and customs and told good stories. He was very knowledgeable about the valley and he was very good to help people get great camera shots. The time went by quickly and we were happy we took this tour. Be aware that the steps up to the truck you ride in are steep. You pull yourself up.
