What people are saying about Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

Stunning natural beauty and personal, knowledgeable and friendly service by our guide, Sandrea, made this tour the highlight of our trip. She shared several beautiful Navajo songs with us and had clear live and respect for her culture and land, those who lived and now live there and those who visit. I highly recommend both the Monument Valley and the Mystery Valley tour.

Very nice getaway off the beaten track. Our guide allowed us to discover a facet of Monument Valley that we could not have discovered by ourselves. And we were lucky enough to see snow fall in the valley at the end of our journey!

The tour company was excellent and our guide was detailed and patient for all the questions we had. The valley is beautiful and well worth the longer tour. We visited all the major sights and a hogan.

Wonderful tour, the guide was very nice and helpful, he shared his culture and his religiosity with us, also performing in typical songs and music.

Great experience! Would do it again when in area. Comfortable van and great guide.
