I loved taking in a piece of culture by being a part of it with my family. We were able to hear local folklore, see hogan homes up close and personal with families that shared, weaving, dancing, frybread tacos, flute and drum playing, and more. John & Cody were great teachers. Respectful, intriguing, and inclusive. It was a wonderful experience in Monument Valley. We’ve been to Monument Valley on our own self-guided tour twice, but this is an exceptional experience. I’d recommend booking the Dreamweaver tour to anyone, and I’m thankful for the teachings that they shared so beautifully.

Thank you for the honor and privilege it was to "share a piece" of our special Navajo culture with your family during your visit to our enchanting lands of Monument Valley! Our evening Dreamcatcher tour package adventure is one of our most popular tour events to participate in... and allows our Navajo guide to share the local folklore, the authentic Navajo homes called Hogans, the rug weaving demonstration, traditional Navajo foods, and our special music presentation. We conclude the evening with the traditional Navajo dancing, with the drumming and chanting to provide fond memories of the full tour experience with our Navajo guide Johnson, Navajo dancer Cody, and our Navajo cooks. On behalf of John, Cody, and Monument Valley Simpson's Trailhandler Tours... we thank you for taking the time to allow us to escort you through our beautiful back country lands that cannot be seen without one of our guides accompanying you... to share cultural knowledge... and to experience more than is possible doing a self- guided drive as you have done before! Safe travels... and we invite you to return sometime in the near future to continue your exploration of our beautiful lands of Monument Valley!

Took the Dreamcatcher Tour that was to include a traditional Navaho dinner, a trip to a traditional Navaho Hogan. And traditional Navaho entertainment The actual tour through the Monuments was enjoyable, BUT.....after that it went down hill quickly. And the weather was not a factor so no excuse for that. We did not go to the Navaho Hogan to witness any native culture of any sort. When we did pull up to our dinner location, we were not greeted, but told to quickly get in line as we were served by a mother and two young girls, each probably 5 years old. The girls had no idea what to do and the mother had to yell at the girls to settle down a couple of times ( not their fault, they are 5) as they helped serve us. The "meal" was not a traditional Navaho meal, but their fry bread (like pizza dough) with chopped lettuce, cheese with pork n beans on top. There was a piece of meat, super well done, and about 1/4" thick, very tough but tasty because of all the seasonings. More like jerky than a steak. The drinks were warm, cans of soda with no ice in sight. Finally, the entertainment was one girl dancing, but not in a traditional costume. Sorry it looked like a Halloween costume from Walmart over the jeans she wore out to the dinner site. An older gentleman did chanting as he beat his drum, which was o.k. Three or four songs later he said "That''s it", and it was over except for the ride back. . Even the dinner area was not more than a well worn picnic table could have been beside a gravel country road somewhere. Certainly not worth the extra money. Just take the driving tour and save your money, The folks on our tour that did not do the dinner got to see the valley right along with and had money in their pocket for a nice dinner. I just can't see how the other reviews were so positive, I booked because of them. I noticed the other people on our tour were disappointed as well. We should have requested a refund as soon as we got back.
