Monument Valley is great but the app didn’t work

2.00Got to the starting point, the app connected and it never started despite numerous attempts so we just closed it and used the map. Highly recommend Monument Valley though.
Misleading tour info

1.00Navajo Tribal Park Monument Valley Self-Guided Driving Tour Utah, United States Only high clearance vehicles allowed! When we arrived nearby, ready to take our self driving tour, we were informed by the tribal authorities that our vehicle ( a Sprinter camper van), was not allowed on the tour road. Only trucks and high-clearance off road vehicles are allowed. No cars, vans or RVs. The photo on the website which shows a paved road is very misleading. The road is very rutted and full of potholes, hence the reason for only high clearance vehicles. We had to cancel. Very disappointing. Viator refunded our tour charges after we complained. Reviewing here because Viator site said my review was ineligible. Hmmm.

5.00The narration was engaging and easy to follow, offering fascinating historical and cultural insights we might otherwise have missed. We loved exploring at our own pace and stopping whenever we wanted for photos. It was a fantastic way to experience one of the most iconic landscapes in the American Southwest. Standard passenger vehicles are generally allowed on the Valley's 17-Mile Drive when conditions permit, while RVs, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles are not permitted.
Viator should do a better...

3.00Viator should do a better job of explaining where to go to start the tour. The directions should be: Drive to the Monument Valley entrance booth. There, pay $10 per person to enter the park. Also, pay $15 per vehicle to drive the park trail. This has to be done with a credit card. You will then drive through another checkpoint to show them the receipt of the money you just paid at the entrance booth. Once you go through that checkpoint, pull over to the side and start your downloaded audio tour. Proceed. These instructions will eliminate future confusion for other guests. Had I been provided these instructions, I would have given the top score because the audio tour itself was excellent. Also I would note that the Navajo people at the park are not at all interested in seeing the audio tour voucher.
Very easy to use,...

5.00I was able to connect it to Apple CarPlay so that not only did we hear it throughout the car and everyone could seethe pictures on the screen. The app was easy to use and I will definitely use it again in other locations if it’s available.

5.00Fantastic day driving through monuments at monument valley. The self driving tour audio was great, lots of facts about the area and Navajo history. The tour responded to where we were on the 17 mile drive, and gave clear instructions. It was nice to do at own pace and stop and take pictures when we wanted. Highly recommend but make sure you have high clearance vehicle. Road rough and not for all vehicles as stated in the Navajo park rules. Stunning scenery and well worth the visit.
Worth it!

5.00Very easy to use, to pause, and it follows exactly where you are as you are traveling. What would have been neat would to insert a little authentic Navajo music along with it. Enjoyed using the audio guide.
What a fun and beautiful...
