Our guide, Reginald met us at the parking lot right on time and immediately whisked the two of us off to the canyon while he began sharing his in-depth knowledge of the sites we saw. Two aspects made this adventure unique--first and foremost was Reginald and secondly, the canyon pictographs and ruins. Reginald's warm personality; insightful Navajo stories and interpretations of Navajo history; and flute playing immersed us into the culture. The canyon itself is stunning--a mix of natural beauty with significant historical ruins and pictographs. There's so much to see that we'd like to come back and spend more time here. This tour was top of the list on our trip to Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Valley of Fire, Bears Ear, Capitol Reef, and Grand Staircase. Definitely go a little out of your way to fit this in.

My wife and I had a mesmerizing tour of Canyon de Chelly with Jason, who is personable and extremely knowledgeable as to physical and historical aspects of the canyon having spent years living and working in it. The landscapes are truly magnificent and the historic relics of living spaces built into caves and cliff ledges along with prolific and fascinating petroglyph and pictorgraph art were truly beautiful. Jason shared experiences and anecdotes that greatly enriched our understanding of Navajo culture and the history of these people in this area over centuries. He was a terrific guide and an excellent driver in the rough and exciting roadless conditions of the canyon floor. We highly recommend Canyon De Chelly Tours LLC.

We enjoyed an amazing day in the Canyon. Our guide, Francine, was the highlight of the trip. She was very knowledgeable about the the history, both ancient and recent. She made our day a special memory.

What an amazing experience we had. Our guide, Reggie Regg is awesome. His knowledge of the canyon, his life experiences of growing up between the canyon walls added to tour. He showed up on time, the jeep was clean and well kept. Reggie brought with him two flutes which he played in different locations being the canyon to life with his music. We highly recommend Canyon Del Chelly Tours LLC for your adventure. Ask for Reggie Regg to top off your tour.

Since the canyon was closed due to gov’t shutdown we were more than thrilled to book a last minute tour w/this co. Misty was wonderful and as a native american was totally knowledgeable about the canyon. Beautiful tour across the canyon floor including ruins which were awesome! Definitely a highlight of our trip to Arizona & would highly recommend.

Our guide Reginald made our trip a special and fascinating experience. He was raised in the area, spoke Diné Bizaad, and had a deep knowledge of Diné culture and the canyon. We had signed up for a 4 hour combo tour, but he advised us that the ground was muddy with multiple water crossings due to recent rains, and that we could see more if we mostly rode in the jeep. He was right! We saw so much that the time flew by and we were left wanting to come back for a longer tour. We left with a better understanding of the history, culture, and beauty of the canyon and its people, and a desire to learn more. Thank you Reginald!

Our tour was led by Delvannia and she was amazing. She listened and understood what we were looking for and designed the tour around our interests and conversations. The entire time was informative and visually stunning. We would highly recommend this to others and fully intend to be back for another tour in the fall. Thank you very much for making this bucket list item fabulous and wonderful.
