Each tour is lead by an experienced Navajo guide, who is certified by the Navajo Nation Parks & Recreation Dept. and National Park Service. Each and everyone of our guides was born and raised in this Canyon De Chelly area, allowing them to gain a vast knowledge of its history to share with all our guests who visit this place we call home. As well as learning about the canyon's rich history, rock art sites and other archeological sites, you will hear stories and tales of life in the canyon and get a chance (time permitted and seasonal option) to visit our guide's families who still weave, farm, ranch, and continue to live a traditional Navajo lifestyle in this rural part of the southwest. We invite you to join one of our guides on a truly unique and one of a kind tour, and to support this 100% NAVAJO OWNED and OPERATED SMALL BUSINESS!! Ahéhee' (thank you)

5.00This tour was beyond amazing, our guide Arianna and Autumn gave us a whole new perspective of Canyon De Chelly. We went on the Del-Muerto side and it was absolutely beautiful. They gave us an option to hike a little bit on the Bear Trail. You also get to see the Antelope section and get to see their families jewelry work! Fry bread and coffee is available too! Theres a lot of history in this place, this is one you definitely wanna come back to and plan multiple trips. Highly recommend it, don’t hesitate on booking with them!! Thank you Arianna and Autumn had such an awesome time, we will be back for the camping next! - Alexander

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Leander of Beauty Way Jeep tours, just last week, a cold sunny day in mid-January. We explored both the south and north canyons, concentrating mostly on the south. We viewed many sites but the highlights were the White House ruins and Spider Rock. Truly amazing and Leander did such a thorough job of sharing the stories, family history, the culture, farming info, canyon knowledge, etc. He was intent to make sure we were really enjoying our day and experience. The detail shared and scenery were extraordinary. He loves what he does and we were truly lucky to have him as our guide. Thank you

5.00What a treat! We came from Grand Canyon to Canyon de Chelly and it was still very impressive. So serene and beautiful. And the winter is a great time to visit, for there was hardly anyone else there! And Lee was an absolute gem of a tour guide. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was very knowledgeable, had a great vehicle, took his time sharing his wealth of knowledge around the canyon and his Navajo ancestry. All so very interesting. So much so our 3 teenage boys maintained interest! And his company is the originally touring company of the canyon, dating all the way back to his grandfather in the 50’s. It’s a family business and it shows. We were so grateful to have booked with them. He invests in his team, his vehicles and his company and it shows. Thanks Beauty Way Tours!
Highlight of our Arizona trip!

5.00We had an incredible experience driving through Canyon de Chelly with Leander. The scenery is captivating, but what made it truly memorable was learning about the history and cultural significance to the Navajo people. We appreciated the learning opportunity for us all and the friendly, professional manner of the staff. Thank you for sharing your stories & time.
More Than a Tour — A Genuine Connection to the Canyon

5.00I had an absolutely incredible private tour of Canyon de Chelly with Leander. His knowledge of the land, history, and Native American culture is deep and thoughtfully shared, and he offered insights you simply wouldn’t get without a guide who truly lives and breathes this place. Beyond that, Leander is just an easy, wonderful person to spend time with — the day felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a good friend. After many days traveling solo across the Southwest, this experience stood out as especially meaningful. If you’re considering a tour of Canyon de Chelly, I can’t recommend Leander highly enough.

5.00Extremely educational—learned more from this tour than many 3 hour credit classes I took in college. Leander was outstanding—passionate, intelligent and high character with many, many stories. I highly recommend Beauty Way Jeep Tours.
A trip thru time.

5.00My wife & I were in a tour of NationalParks & Monuments in Utah & Arizona. Our last stop was Canyon de Chelly , where I had been twice before but never had the opportunity to explore the floor of the canyon…OMG the perspective was totally & infinitely better on the tour with Leander 👍👍 !! His historical knowledge of the sites & people (as well as contemporary) added so much. This was a 10(+) day. Going back to join a hiking & camping tour in the spring. Highly recommended this team!!
Highly recommend

5.00Lee (Beauty Way Tours) was excellent and asked what we like, what drew us to come to the area so he could tailor our experience to best fit us. We got to see the views and hear the stories we came for.
