Very nice. Definitely do!

Very nice trip. Absolutely do! Lots of explanations and you go to places you don't go yourself. Joseph is a very experienced guide who knows a lot about the landscape and the Indians. It also takes fantastic photos for you and drives smoothly through the loose sand.

Monument Valley Memories

This was just an outstanding experience. The views and sites are indescribable. It is actually a bit overwhelming, just being a small part of seeing something so beautiful with so much history and time before it. Our tour guide Joseph was phenomenal. He is the best tour guide and I have taken a few that I’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable knew the history and made it interesting. And he was great at assisting and taking photographs that will be memories forever. This is a tour with family that I will never forget and highly recommend if you have not done it and if you can, do so.
