This experience was awesome. We were welcomed very friendly and introduced into horde riding patiently. The tour was amazing and the instructors were more than happy to do an detour with us to have an additional phenomenal view from a hill. Moreover, they took great pic from us and we were allowed to pet all their horses. I would always come back and recommend it. Great service, great experience. Thank you.

We very much appreciated Sandrea's personal accounts of her growing up Navajo, her personal life history, her family history, and Navajo customs and spiritual life. A very delightful person. One suggestion to her is that she could be more direct and clear on her tour rules about how long we stay at stopping spots, the signal for "we're ready to move on" (i.e. we get back in the vehicle), and when and how she will be speaking versus when we are free to wander off. But we still give her 5 stars.

I am so grateful that we chose this tour group! You will see lots of tour vehicles in the parking lot but Monument Valley Tribal Tours has a separate pickup location, making you feel special from the beginning. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and took us to parts of the park that are not accessible to the general public! We were able to get up close to some truly amazing places and we even were treated to a traditional song from our guide at Big Hogan (highlight of the trip for me)! You got extra time to explore and take photos! I highly recommend this tour guide to anyone!
