5.00Excellent Tour!! Tim our guide was fabulous. He told stories, played his flute and took us to places not seen by just driving through the park. Such a great memory and so glad we got up early to do this tour!!! A+++
Great Memory!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide Tim was so knowledgeable about the Navajo culture and took us the best place for sunrise, right on time, as the sun was coming up. I highly recommend this experience, even though it’s so early in the morning, it is so worth it! A+++
A Must Do!!

5.00Great experience! We had our guide Tim, who was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us so many things about the Navajo culture. He picked us up exactly at 4:30, right on time and got us to the most perfect place in Monument Valley for sunrise. It’s an early morning, but so worth it. A+++

5.00Marjorie was great. Our truck broke down and we had to wait for a new one, so we missed the surnrise by about 5 minutes. They were generous and gave us a refund, which I thought they didnt have to do because it was really still quite beautiful. Amazing and memorable experience!

5.00River is an amazing tour guide. We got to see so many different rock formations and landscapes as well as the history and significance behind them. River also played for us some songs from the traditional Native flute instrument!!!
