Joe and I enjoyed every minute! Thanks for the morning tour! Irene was our Navajo guide and she gave us an excellent tour in the Canyon! She was an excellent driver in the sandy terrain! We loved her stories and her cultural context.☺️ Janice and Joe

Great tour experience! Jarvin Yazzie was our guide and extremely knowledgeable and personable. He told us about growing up in the canyon, Navajo culture and the importance of the canyon. One of our best tours ever!

Amazing tour; we had a wonderful experience with Grandma; she had a long history of Canyon de Chelly and knew the canyon like her back hand. The sights were incredible and the stories to go with them. Thunderbird Lodge was just ok. The Cafeteria left a lot to be desired for meals but it was the only choice.
