Good experience! - Comie was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and had the answers to all of my questions. My family was able to see parts of Monument Valley that we would not have seen by ourselves.

Unexpected instruction on unique photography method. - Harry, our tour guide, taught us how to use a mud puddle as a reflection pool to generate unique photographs. The sights were beautiful. The cultural background and instruction on a new photographic method were both . bonusses. I highly recommend Harry as a tour guide.

Very knowledgeable and skilled tour guide, Aliya - Aliya was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and skilled at driving the trails. We did have a very difficult time finding where to meet the tour guide. No directions, location, phone number in the contact information. That was problematic. But we did have a good time.

An amazing experience - We are so pleased we chose the Backcountry tour. We saw parts of Monument Valley we didn't expect such as a real Hogon. Our guide Tesla brought the experience to life for us which was important as being from England this was a once in a lifetime experience.

Unforgettable - Joe was our guide and we chose a private tour to understand not only the Park, but also the culture and history of the Navajos. The experience was incredible. He told us many stories, showed us strategic points of the rocks and took beautiful photos! I highly recommend this company and this tour.

Amazing experience! - This tour is highly recommended! Our guide John is a great storyteller about Navajo culture and history and also very helpful with taking photos. You will visit places that you cannot reach with a self-guided tour. John again has a lot to tell you about the various rock formations. Amazing experience. Doing!
