5.00We’ve been blessed enough to do many family trips over the years and love taking tours. Joe, our tour guide, is hands down the BEST guide we’ve ever had in any tour in any state. Joe was personable and extremely knowledgeable. He proudly shared his beautiful culture with us through storytelling, pointing out notable rock features, and a breathtaking Native song. On top of all of this, Joe also is a phone photo guru - he helped us take amazing and unique photos with different settings we didn’t even know about. Whole trip was amazing.
Fantastic tour for families

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Dineh Bekeyah tours. Our tour guide, Yvonne, was fabulous. She was very informative, was very patient, and answered all of our questions. She gave us hints for how to take the best pictures and took pictures of our family for us. I would highly recommend her and this tour company.

5.00My husband and I were so fortunate to have John as our guide in the breathtaking Monument Valley. We learned so much about the amazing area, Navajo traditions, harmony and history. We are very encouraged the learn more about the Navajo Nation. The time went by so fast as we did not want the tour to be over. John's love for this land is presented beautifully.
