4.00Fun and nice guide, nice itinerary. On the other hand, I think it’s just as beautiful doing the scenic drive. Plan diapers for 4x4 car trips because it is all open and it is bcp wind!! Nice experience all the same but a little expensive.

3.00We booked a private tour expecting an enclosed jeep with a driver. We were sitting on the back of an open air vehicle which was very exposed to the wind and dust. The commentary system was very poor and we couldn’t hear what the driver was saying. When we stopped the driver was very knowledgeable but we felt that the extra money for a private tour was wasted.
Awesome trip to Monument Valley

5.00This was our third visit to Monument Valley. Each time we took a tour. Each time we had a unique experience. Othis tour, our guide, Wayne, shared his love for the Valley and his knowledge. He pointed out the features, gave some demonstrations and took beautiful panoramic pictures of each group or couple putting them in the full setting of fantastic formations..
The guide was fantastic....

5.00The guide was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful. The only complaint is that the visitor center was closed. It was unclear on where to go to pre-purchase the entrance tickets.
