Beautiful experience; compared to the tours available locally, it costs much less and is truly beautiful! Our guide took us to spectacular places. Highly recommended
Thanks to our guide for this beautiful visit! He suggested many photo stops to us, and his explanations were interesting. The girls loved going "off-piste" (there are quite a few bumps). Would do it again without hesitation! This allows the whole family to enjoy this magnificent scenery without having to focus on the trail and the numerous crevasses.
We did the 1.5 with Derek. The open air tram is cool. There’s cover and you sit over the back of the truck bed. There were two stops, John fords point and one other. Derek played his Navajo flute for us out on the trail which was very cool. Two things stop it from being 5 star. One, we arrived ten minutes early and the guy for DB tours didn’t realize there were any more tours that day and had to call in a tour guide. I guess they only check in the morning and we had bought a couple hours before. It wasn’t chaotic but it was confusion. Secondarily, this is overall for the area probably. But it’s tacky the amount of times you have to pay to get into Navajo tribal parks in the same day (we paid three times at Antelope canyon, MV, and four corners in one day; and the receipts all say the same thing). And it’s tacky that you have to show proof of that payment each time.
Our guide Elvis was really great. Explained to us about the Mesas, Buttes and offered to take pictures of ours. This was really one of our bucket list items. Loved this trip and would definitely recommend this to others too.
Instead of dealing with broken down car and tire enjoy this Mars world in this awesome and reasonable price for 4. We strongly recommend and Eva tour guide is awesome
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 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.
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.
1.5 hours was long enough . Derick our guide provided a lot o good knowledge. Had fun
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
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.
