Monument Valley through Larry’s eyes - We spent the day with Larry Team cruising the back country of Monument Valley and Mystery Valley. Larry was so much fun as he explained the history of the land and his people from the beginning of time to current. He was so passionate about his heritage. He took time with each person in our group to ensure we had a great time, I look forward to bringing my kids and my grandkids back to experience the Valley and Larry’s passion.

Tour Monument Valley TOP - Our guide Jameson made us live a dream. Wonderful 2 and a half hour tour. We visited every important corner of Monument Valley on board a jeep with photo and explanatory stops at key points. jameson, our guide, with his friendliness and availability made this adventure even more exciting for us. At a certain point of the visit, at a very specific point, he also played us a local melody with a typical Navajo instrument. what can I say? top!!!

Listen with your heart in Monument Valley - Highlight of our second visit to Monument Valley. Our guide Comie was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly and she treated us to a song at one stopping spot. The visit to the Hogan was wonderful and I learnt lots. I would 100% recommend this tour. My tips are - take water with you and a neckerchief for the dusty air and take some stunning photos. Also a great tip from the lady at the Hogan - listen with your heart to take it all in.

Wonderful experience to forget the heat - Fantastic scenery and detailed description of the Guide. It was warm, but it was a wonderful experience to forget about the heat. Get some sunglasses. The child made a spell, and Guide Sheryl's careful and sincere explanation was good. I want to visit again in another season and experience horse riding.
