A guided tour through the valley is the best way to go. Jamie picked us up in an open-air vehicle and took us through the park, including locations that you cannot approach if driving on your own. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to spend time with. He went out of his way to engage the younger kids in our group who did not speak English and made the trip fun for them. The dinner, music and dancing were very enjoyable. Be sure to check the weather and bring what you need to stay warm - it was cool and quite windy when we were there. It would be nice if they kept some blankets in the open-air vehicle for visitors who aren't prepared for the weather.

Greetings Linda... and thank you kindly for the honor and privilege it was to serve you on our special evening Dreamcatcher tour adventure in April, with our Navajo guide Jamie. He will be pleased to know that your family had a memorable time with him as you toured our enchanting lands in the evening, and had our traditional Navajo dinner and cultural dancing / entertainment under the stars. All our best to you and your family... and please come back to visit us again! Safe travels!

Nice to have enclosed van on a cold and windy night. Wayne , our driver, was amazing as a driver. Could have been better as a narrator. Weather was a factor in regards to the tour being totally satisfactory. Too bad we couldn't have the cook out and dancing outside. With a little effort the food could have been better. Would have enjoyed fry bread with honey.

This tour was all I hoped for when booking it. We were not disappointed. We were picked up by Jamie in an open air vehicle and he drove us through Monument Valley and he explained all the rock formations/monuments & some stories to it as well. He even took great pics with our camera of the two of us. After those 2 1/2 hours we went to our dinner side. There was a nice bonfire and a lady brought in the fresh food for us. Indian fry bread with all the toppings and a steak that Jamie, our native guide, threw on the grill in the fire for us. After serving the food to us, she left and Jamie changed clothing and he began to dance to the drum beat by Harold. The dances Jamie performed were Native American grass dancing style dances. Jamie performed quite a few different dances and Harold chanted & played the drum. We also talked for a bit and I could have sat there even longer and just listened to them and their stories. It was super interesting. After the performances & after dinner we left back to the hotel. I can highly recommend this tour. We will be definitely back one day!
