I did the Tour of Monument Valley with my family during Spring break. In the morning it was chilly so they used a close vehicle. The tour was very beautiful and the kind Navajo guide was very good in explaining us all the things we were admiring: ancient villages, movie sets, the changing of landscape with season, and the life in the valley. We have a 1 hour 1/2 tour, and it was enaugh exhaustive to understand the essence of this magical place. I advice who wants to see the valley to avoid to go with his own vehicle because the road is very dangerous if you do not have a real cross country vehicle. The tour is also limited if you use a personal car, because you must have permits to transpass some properties.

My friends and I were extremely lucky on our vacation - everything seemed to work out perfectly in ways we didn't even know we needed until we got there. This tour is a great example of that. The day before our tour we hiked the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon and then did a jeep tour of Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon and Overlook. It was exhilarating and exhausting, and the early wake up for this tour was a little hard but we knew it would be worth it. We were expecting another open air jeep and came prepared with layers and hats/mittens/scarves but were very pleasantly surprised to find out we were the only ones scheduled that morning and were going in an enclosed SUV with heat and everything! Our tour guide was a quiet but friendly lady who gave us history and personal stories as she drove us on roads I would never have been comfortable driving. She was very honest with us about the time we spent at each stop, letting us know where we could linger and when we should be more brief. We were never rushed but were aware of how to spend our time most wisely. At several stops she gave us excellent advice on how to set up for the best pictures, and pointed out features of the landscape we might have otherwise missed. She answered questions honestly, and unlike some people was able to say "I don't know" instead of making things up. Some stops were for little more than taking a picture, and some allowed us to get out and actually explore the land a little. After our more rigorous outings the day before, this tour was the perfect balance of activity and rest for us. We left this tour full of awe and respect for the history of the land and people who lived on it.

My husband and I were driving out from Sedona for a day trip/tour of Monument Valley. Since we had rented a Camero for our road trip, we had read this was not the ideal car and were hoping to contact a tour company to show us around, while being in a more reliable vehicle. We contacted a couple other companies and had called them throughout the morning on the day of, as their websites reported earlier business hours but continued to obtain voicemail messages saying that they were unable to get to their phones. We ended up calling BLACKWATER TOURS and right away, we had gotten in touch with someone on the phone and he was able to get us on a tour right away- 45 mins to be exact...when we had arrived to the Navajo Tribal Park. We were greeted by WILLIE, our tour guide who had taken my husband and I around in a Jeep Wrangler (in great shape!) and we had a private tour. Willie was informative and was able to answer our questions. (We had a private tour as it was the low travel season- mid December.) Would definitely recommend this company! I'm very surprised they didn't have many reviews and good ones at that...!
