Perfect trip!

Harry allowed us to discover the backcountry of Monument Valley via paths not accessible to the general public; I recommend it 100%!

We had a fantastic...

We had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend doing a guided tour compared to driving it yourself. The road is tough and while my suv would have survived it was very bumpy. Trevino was our guide and was amazing. He was kind and answered all of our questions. He provided insight into the monument valley formation names, history behind them, movie history, Navajo traditions, and photo tips. I would highly recommend doing this if you’re in the area.

A great option for those that don’t want to drive the 17 mile loop themselves.

This is the perfect option if you have a rental car and feel squeamish taking it on the bumpy, 17 mile dirt road loop. 1.5 hours was just right for us as we were passing through on our way to Durango and wanted a quick visit. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Cliff was very personable and responsive to our requests. This tour was reasonably priced.

Guide was not as good as we would expect

Our guide was not really good, we expected to learn more about history and movies that were shot there, the guide was just talking about himself and his family. Really disappointed

Operator response

Sorry that you didn't get what you wanted. You cancel with us (Dineh Bekeyah Tour), I didn't fine you on my sign in sheet. I don't know what company you went out with on June 6th.

Absolutely wonderful experience- our guide John was very friendly and knowledgeable- the tour was great, saw the major sites with stops for pictures, and John gave us insight into each as well as the general history of the area and of the Navajo culture and language. Definitely recommend!!

Monument Valley

Our guide Steven gave us a great tour and a lot of interesting information that if we had driven in our own car wouldn’t have ever learned. We ended up on a private tour because we were the only 2 out of a possible 12! It’s pretty rough road so hold on tight.
