Monument Valley Tribal Tours and their guide Marjory were wonderful!! We were picked up as promised and taken for a tour of the areas accessible to anyone. Then we continued on to a special presentation of yarn making and rug making. The expert answered all of our questions about her presentation and about Native American life. We then continued on to other formations in the rocks and were shown things that you had to see to believe.

It is worth booking a guided tour, especially with the addition of a visit to the reserve. Accompanied by a Navajo woman, you get a completely different relationship to this piece of earth. Otherwise one sees the magnificent rocks but knows nothing of their local importance. The visit to the carpet weaver gave me a lot to understand the Navayo culture. You and our tour guide Vera made this tour a special experience. Her singing at the Wind's Ear got under your skin.

This is an excellent tour; I recommend it. There was one thing that was of concern when I booked the tour: the tour only accepts parties of two or more people, so even though I was traveling alone I had to pay for a second, non-existent person. Later, I discussed this with tour staff and came to a good solution. But I encourage the tour operators to no longer require that guests traveling alone pay for two people.
