Incredible in-depth tour of Monument Valley! Our guide was very kind and informative, telling us about the history of the valley and Navajo people. The music and weaving demonstrations were remarkable to see. We got to see so many different buttes and arches it felt like we were in a different world! Highly recommend and I hope to do this again one day.

Seeing the monuments from afar is one thing, but getting up close and personal was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide Marjorie was stupendous. She was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. Loved her enthusiasm. She cared about each one of us on her tour. There really are no words to describe these astonishing monuments. I would do it again!
