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!

In my opinion, this is the only way to experience Monument Valley. The guide was a local—well versed in the history and cultural significance of these beautiful lands to the Navajo people. When you go with a local guide, they can take you down the backcountry roads that are inaccessible to regular tourists. I saw so much beauty that afternoon and learned a ton that I wouldn't have learned otherwise. This was followed by a delicious dinner of Navajo taco and then a performance of traditional Navajo chanting and dancing. It was awesome. Thanks, John and Jamie!

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. It is great to hear that you had a wonderful and memorable time with our Navajo guides John and Jamie in beautiful Monument Valley. It was their pleasure to share all their knowledge about these enchanting lands and introducing you to their culture and their traditions. Should you come back to Monument Valley, it would be truly our pleasure to serve you again. Safe travels!

Excellent trick. Ralph the organizer contacted us in advance via WhatsApp to explain how it would go, meeting point, Guide name, and followed up because there was a little delay. The tour was great, Cody, a Navajo Indian (Dinéh in real, Navajo being the name given by the Spanish but not well received by the elders) was great. We can't get to the right places if we go around on our own. The tour takes inaccessible paths and discovers beautiful places with explanations that go well. Dinner is not gourmet 😂 but the animation is nice with the old Indian who tells stories. I highly recommend because even if it is expensive, what we saw was great.
