An immersive look at the landscape and culture

5.00We went on the full-day tour that consisted of 3 hours in Mystery Valley and 3 hours in Monument Valley. The experience was delightful. We were picked up right on time by our Navajo guide who brought us to sites that included Ancestral Pueblo dwellings, petroglyphs, past the dwellings of current residents, and of course by amazing natural beauty. The tour guide grew up in the region and was able to provide personal insights and anecdotes. We gained some nice insight into the culture even if his history knowledge was limited. While I saw other tour guides sit in their vehicles our guide would get out with us and hike about so we understood the meaning and history of the sites, geology, and ecosystem. Overall, we were thrilled by what we saw and heard.
Appreciation of the Navajo Nation

5.00My family and I (3 adults, one 12-year-old) took the 2.5 hour tour with Emery as our guide on Dec 30, 2025. It was the highlight of our trip. Emery told us stories, took us to interesting places, spent more than the 2.5 hours we had booked. Emery was particularly clever with iphone cameras, so we came away with impressive photos and stories to tell. We left Monument Valley with a deeper appreciation of the Navajo people and their attempt to seek balance with nature and humanity, thanks to Emery.
A historical look and tour of Monument Valley. A trip that you will never forget.

5.00Emory was an awesome tour guide. He explained the history of the valley and the Navjo Nation people. He spoke in his native tongue about the history of the different monuments, and then translated it to English for us. This was an incredibly wonderful trip with caring, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic people. We highly recommend this tour company!

5.00This is the tour of a lifetime and our guide Amory was fantastic!!! Three Sisters was the right choice, especially since we found out the company history in the valley. Three sisters provided an experience you can not get without the local flavor and Navajo history from a true Navajo guide Amory!!! He provided both the history of the valley, Navajo traditions and stories, along with life experiences!! Amory made the whole experience a joy to take and is especially talented with the camera in your phone producing photos you will love and cherish!!! The whole experience with the Three Sisters was fabulous!!! Thank you for Sandy accommodating our late reservation!!
Excellent Tour - dog friendly a plus!

Amory was a fantastic tour guide - kind, open and knowledgeable, with lots of beautiful insights and stories to share about Navajo culture and the significance of the specific monuments in the valley to the Navajo people.
