The history and the information was extremely wonderful. Our guide was excellent. The land was just breathtaking to see. I just have one suggestion as an Executive Chef I was really forward to have a Na taco which I did enjoy , however, the manner in which it was served could be improved. Perhaps placing the condiments in containers for serving and keeping the drinks cooler if possible. Also adding the park pass fee to the tour ticket ,so that everything is paid for all at once. I would recommend this tour anyone. It was worth it in every way.

Wonderful beautiful tour thru Monument Valley that included areas not accessible by private car, an Indian taco dinner and cultural presentation with dancing. Very informative and fun. Tour is in an open vehicle and the roads , or lack of, are very very bumpy and really not good for anyone with back problems. Truck is a big step up but our guide,Cody, provided a stool to make it easier. We did feel the presentation could have been a little shorter and we didn’t see a sunset but overall the tour was fantastic!

The tour captures all the high points in Monument Valley but I would still do the driving loop for another view and more time. There were some interesting history and area facts shared on the tour and some special Native music at the Hogan formation . We had stormy weather but the tour went anyway the truck is covered but every stop, start or turn dumps water in the seating area so hope for sun! Most of the tour is drive by so photography can be a challenge except at the 4 or 5 stops. The dinner is ok...could have been better...dining area needs a little maintenance and ample seating as multiple groups come together for the meal. The native entertainment after dinner is ok...not exceptional and the tour company owner asking for tips (for himself) was a turn off. He was part of the show and offered "if you want to tip me I'll be standing up here for a while" never have I ever heard this and have been booking with Viator since 2015. Also call the day before to verify where to meet your guide. There appears to be some confusion per the ticket info and the tour people. We were missing 4 people for quite some time because of this confusion. We booked a stay at The View because that is where our ticket said we would be picked up...easy. It isn't necessary as the tour also goes from the Visitor Center. Either way you will pay an entrance into the park in addition to your tour fee. Would I do it again? Probably..and hope for better weather.
