We loved everything about this tour: 2 hour horseback ride in Monument Valley with the Sacred Monument Co.
We are older ladies and had smaller horses (mine was a kids horse, too they told me). They kindly waited for us as we were caught in traffic getting into the monument valley area, so we had a private tour. Pointed out many interesting sights and movie locations and Navajo traditions.

This was definitely the highlight of mine and my wife's adventure through Arizona. The tour provided a beautiful way to view monument valley on such well mannered and well cared for horses, with amazing guides. Our guide Logan made sure everyone was okay and having a good time, and was kind enough to take pictures at key spots. This was my wifes first time on a horse and my first time in many years, and we were both extremely comfortable and confident on the trail. If you have never been on a horse and are worried if you can/should do this, the answer is 1000% yes. Everyone on our tour of 7 was an amateur rider and everyone had an amazing time. You will definitely be sore for a few days if you don't ride often, but don't let a little soreness stop you from missing the experience of a lifetime!!

This was a truly magical experience for my partner's birthday. I cannot thank the Native Americans and their beautiful horses enough. Riding out into Monument Valley on horseback is is something I will never ever forget.

Beautiful scenery but poor customer service. Although we paid for 2 hours our tour was 1.5 hours with beaks in between. It’s a rip off but you have to do it, it’s beautiful out there. Not worth the 2 hour.
On the other hand I’m not sure if the 1 hour tour lasts only 30 minutes…they are very demanding on the tip…hard to believe this is a place in US. good luck. wish I’d get my money back and try a different tour option…anyways, too late now.

The tour itself was great. The annoying part were the instructions on meeting them. Viator says to wait in the parking lot but they your company wants you to meet down the dirt road where the stables are.

Amazing experience. Our tour guide Alvin was kind and friendly, he takes great pictures! The horses are happy and well cared for.

Arrived on time at the meeting point, waited an hour but nobody showed up. Eventually arrived at the stables. Nobody gave us an explanation as to why nobody Came to pick us up. Very rude and blunt overall. Tour was beautiful regarding settings and horses. The guide was not in the mood, didn't give us any explanation, didn't reassure us on the horses, ... Weird vibe.

Our horseback riding tour through Monument Valley with Zeke was an unforgettable adventure. Zeke's passion and knowledge about the area added depth to our experience as we rode through iconic landscapes and towering sandstone buttes. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to soak in the vast, serene deserts and connect with the landscape on a personal level. The horses were gentle and suitable for all skill levels, enhancing our connection to the environment. A highlight was stopping at scenic overlooks where Zeke shared traditional Navajo stories, making the tour not just a sightseeing trip but a journey into the heart of Monument Valley. This experience stands out as a cherished memory, highly recommended to anyone seeking to explore the beauty of this majestic place in a unique and meaningful way.
