5.00Friendly and entertaining guide who knew the trails well enough in the dark to get us back safely. The Navajo entertainment was cute and meal was light. It was very cold but Indian blankets were provided to wrap in.
Bumpy cold ride, beautiful views, knowledgeable and friendly guide

4.00This was a very nice tour overall. Jamie the guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the place itself is spectacular. The overlooks and places were great. Eagle's Eye was a favorite. Downside was the "meal." One fry bread taco, a few beans, lettuce, tomato onion cheese. The flute music was terrific, and dancing enjoyable. Note: In October, the temps were in the low 50's and the drive back to the pick up station was miserable. The open air truck at 40 miles an hour was super cold. We felt like there was no way to adequately dress for the wind hitting you right in the face for 20 minutes. And the ride itself is super bumpy. Not for anyone who couldn't ride a rough and tumble roller coaster. Some had some trouble getting into the open air truck. Oh, and no toilet paper at the stops. I think the tour providers should pay to stock the toilets. (There still wasn't any on the next day's tours either.) I would recommend the experience to my sturdy friends only, with the recommendation that they eat before they go, pack their own TP, wear a parka if it's October, and be ready for a bumpy, bone jarring ride. But the place is so beautiful, and you can feel the quiet.
Amazing

5.00It was an amazing evening. Stanley, our driver/guide, took us into the back areas of Monument Valley, explained geography and culture of his people. Then we had a delicious meal of Navajo tacos on authentic fry bread. A young Navajo teen danced fir us in full native regalia while his father sang with drum. You might want to bring an old Civid mask because the dust kicks up while drving. It was a really bumpy ride! Pretty tough on a bad back!

5.00Loved the experience of this tour. It was wonderful to see Monument Valley through the eyes of our guide. It was very informative of his native culture. The picture of more than one American Dancer wasn’t true for our tour we only had one. For some reason they did not have us listed for the tour but thankfully I had proof that we had paid for the tour and let us go

5.00Cody was a superb guide. He provided valuable information on Navajo (Dine) history. He took us to breathtaking views and geographical wonders. He also helped us to take some amazing photos. The cultural immersion of the whole experience was top tier.
A Highly Recommended Tour!!

5.00This tour was even better than I imagined. Cody was our guide and he was so much fun and took great pictures for us. This tour is so much more than seeing the amazing monuments and landscape which Cody explained, but his stories of the Navajo way of life was so interesting. We were treated to authentic frybread and some Navajo music and dancing. Then sunset was absolutely beautiful and lit up the rock formation. I would not hesitate to take this tour!! It was one of my favorite things we did on our vacation!!
