Tour with John from Simpson’s tours was just wonderful. So informative and the sights amazing. The meal was delicious and the dancing and singing a delight. Would highly recommend.

Of the four tours we did in the surrounding area of the Grand Canyon on our seven day trip, the Dreamcatcher Evening Experience was our #1 pick. Being in the open air vehicle was so refreshing and the scenery was like nothing I'd ever seen before. Cody, our driver and guide, did a great job in telling us about the history of the area and about his culture, showed us how mesa's and butte's were formed (wish I had recorded it), sang a couple songs to us and told of how the stars came to be in the sky. About 2 1/2 hrs into the tour we stopped at what I will call a desert garden with a huge mesa as a backdrop. So peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed Navajo tacos which is a fried flatbread (yummy) with your pick of toppings - tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese and steak. After dinner we all gathered around a campfire where we were entertained with native song, dance (which they pulled most people up to participate- that always makes it fun) and storytelling. All around great evening! I hated to see it end. Highly recommend this tour.

I was recently in Monument Valley and took 4 tours split between 2 companies. I first must say that all the trips were worth the experience. On this trip we rode in an open truck and would stop with the guide explaining the locations and culture of the Navajo. Our guide was John and he did an excellent job. The weather was unseasonably mild which made this tour all the better. I went for photography and had enough time at each stop to take photos. I enjoyed the native dancing at sunset and appreciated the dancer's regalia, but the blue jeans underneath all the regalia did diminish the photos slightly. We were served a "Navajo Taco" and if you have had an "Apache Taco" in New Mexico then you have had a "Navajo Taco" it was decent but not anything to write home about or photograph. I had been told that dinner would be a steak and a Navajo Taco, and was expecting 2 items. Instead it was a large piece of fried bread with taco fixings and a piece of skirt steak. Filling, but not a unique cultural experience. I personally felt that the rest of the trip, and especially the guide John, made up for any shortcomings with the meal.
