It was a great experience despite the rain. Our guide was wonderful and told us many interesting historical facts and stories. He played traditionally songs for us and it felt very special. He also helped us taking great pics! The place is magical and filled with an incredible energy. Ride was really good and I felt safe. Organizers sent reminders and were available when needed. Thank you!
This was the first hand tour from someone who actually grew up in the area of monument valley.It was personal, it was special.Our guide Richie was fantastic. You should know that it is a somewhat rough ride. But, is well worth it.
Mr. Wayne Bigman picked us up right on time and gave us a wonderful tour. He is very knowledgeable and we appreciated having someone with so much knowledge of the beautiful monument valley he calls home.
The guide (Richie) was excellent.
The tour guide was very friendly and professional. They took us to many beautiful viewpoints and provided detailed and patient explanations throughout the tour. There was also a live music performance, which made the experience even more enjoyable. In addition, the guide helped take many memorable photos for us, which we truly appreciate and will cherish.
Wayne our guide was 10/10 the valley is stunning and Wayne shared so much of his culture and music! He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. Thank you would highly recommend
This was an excellent tour! Better than driving ourselves because our Navijo guide gave us history, storytelling, explanations, and even sang us a song and played a flute like instrument that really added a dimension to the tour! We loved it! It was not too bumpy!
You really get to see the entire valley but be aware it is dirt roads that can be a bit rough. it was also great fun to do the tour late in the afternoon so as to experience sundown in the valley.
We had a great time learning about Diné culture and the beautiful land and vistas of Monument Valley. We highly recommend this tour as you are able to see spots not accessible from the regular driving tour. Our guide Cody was incredibly knowledgeable and very welcoming. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Cody was great and informative. He was very tentative and allowed us to take our time taking pictures.
