Excellent trip with an outstanding guide who brought the trip to life. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Monument Valley

No refund

John_P, Apr 2024

Wife And me both too sick to take tour. Requested refund no response. Communication was fine up until I asked for a refund. Viator takes no responsibility either.

Do not miss this experience

Betsy_S, Apr 2024

Exceeded our expectations by far! Our tour guide Jamie was outstanding. Amazing energy, knowledge and did an amazing job communicating with our group. Was patient with our super fun french passengers to make sure they were also getting a great experience. Allowed time for translation as well. The drive from Page to Monument Valley was breathtaking and going on to tribe land far exceeds what you can see.

Well Worth the Trip!

Sharon_L, Apr 2024

This was a truly incredible experience! Our tour guide, Jamie, offered a great deal of knowledge about Monument t Valley and the Navajo people as well as some well-timed humor. We would highly recommend d this tour.

Great Navajo experience!

DRAGOS_B, Apr 2024

The best part of it was the Navajo traditional music and dance. The tour also took us on some trails that were unaccessible to the self driving tours. Amazing experience!

Out of this world experience

Ann_K, Jan 2024

When our tour guide, Jamie; showed up we had no idea what to expect. It turned into one is the most memorable experiences of my life. The fact that he is Navajo himself and from Monument Valley took my Ohio family into a whole new world. He taught us all about the culture, pointed out various monuments and explained their names, etc. He took us to a hogan where my daughter had her hair put into a Navajo bun. We had a Navajo meal with a father and son where the father sang while his son (Levi) danced. Levi is my son’s age and was very personable and talented. We were even able to see carvings from the 1300’s. Five stars doesn’t even come close to the true rating of our experience. Thank you so much Jamie.

Magical, majestic evening.

Joann_S, Oct 2023

Absolutely loved our tour with the Navajo guide, Jaimie, in the open air jeep. Monument Valley is beautiful beyond description. Jaimie was extremely knowledgeable and witty. The dinner was nice, and we had a splendid dark sky full of stars, constellations, and the Milky Way. The tour was almost as amazing as the eclipse. I highly recommend this to her. If you can get Jaime, you will be very lucky.

Highlight of our vacation

Michael_F, Oct 2023

Our excursion guide,Cody,...

Our excursion guide,Cody, was wonderful and we enjoyed the tour so much! This tour is a must for anyone who comes to see Monument Valley.

The Backcountry Experience of a lifetime

Paula_C, Oct 2023

Our tour guide, Cal, was exceptionally knowledgable about the monuments we saw. He told us stories of each monument. We enjoyed going “off the beaten path” to see places not accessible to the general public. The evening ended with an authentic Navajo dinner and some dancing. The entire evening was magical and well worth the cost of the tour.

Listening to our guide...

Greg_J, Oct 2023

Listening to our guide tell of the history of the Valley and his Navaho heritage was very interesting g and informative.

Do not miss this incredible evening!

Samantha_M, Oct 2023

Highly recommend this incredible evening! Seeing the areas of Monument Valley which are unable to be accessed via the scenic loop at sunset was amazing. The highlight of the night was the traditional Navajo singing and dancing after a delicious meal of steak cooked over an open fire and Indian flatbread with salad. Thank you so much Stanley (guide), Pearl (cook), Howard (singer) and Cody (dancer) for a truly memorable experience.

Great tour with an amazing guide

Diana_S, Oct 2023

Our guide Jerick made the experience unforgettable! From showing us various places in the valley, to insights into Navajo way of living in harmony with nature, to singing a song under the Hogan rock. Being in the Valley after dark was an extra bonus, since there was no light pollution, we got to enjoy a starry night with incredible views. Loved everything about this tour!

Don't hesitate on taking this tour, just do it!

Eugene_B, Oct 2023

What a amazing experience! The tour was fabulous, just amazing landscapes. Cody, our guide, was amazing!! Sharing his knowledge of the area and a rock star behind the wheel of the vehicle. The dinner was enjoyable and the story telling was very informative by Mr. Simpson. And who knew Cody was not only a great guide but he danced up a storm around the fire. If you don't take this tour while in Monument Valley you will have really missed out on an amazing experience.

An evening to remember

John_S, Sep 2023

Cody was a great guide; personable, funny, kind and a wealth of information. The views were spectacular!

Linda_C, Sep 2023

Best tour ever

TERI_N, Aug 2023

The food, music and views were all amazing! Our tour guide was awesome! Literally the most breath taking and memorable tour of my life.

Private Tour Absolutely Worth the Cost!

Angela_K, Aug 2023

Jaime was a great guide: super funny, personal touches and stories (being 100% Navajo), and he thoroughly enjoyed jeeping us over bumps and mud puddles to explore private and special places throughout Monument Valley. Navajo tacos and soda were the dinner before a short campfire show. The private access to Navajo held property at Monument Valley was the highlight.

We appreciated learning...

chemai_g, Aug 2023

We appreciated learning about Navajo culture. This is a bumpy ride so plan ahead! Bring some water and be prepared to enjoy the wonders of Monument Valley!
