The Dineh tour is very clean and organized, they were on time, efficient, and friendly.
I have all good things to say about Dineh tours.
Once you get to the Navajo Nation your actual tour guides are Navajo Indians, they are very strict about their mask policy. They also have ZERO public bathrooms. Like a gorgeous new gift shop and only port a potty. For the upper canyon tour you get driven out to the canyon and then need to ride back, it's almost 3 hours with no access to a bathroom. People were complaining and they tell you that you have no options. I guess my advice is to try to dehydrate yourself, and no funny business with the mask, they yell at you even if it goes lower than your nose. You would have this with any tour company as the tours are given by the Navajo Indians directly.

Ahéheé (Thank You) for your very kind review Josalyn! We enjoyed your company while on tour and we are happy to hear our guest enjoyed their tours to the greater southwest! We strive to give all our guest a memorable experience while on vacation! Being that we are located in the on the Navajo Nation, most communities and families that dwell within the Navajo Reservation still do not have access to running water. We are no exception this this dilemma. Hopefully in the near future a waterline will be installed on the property of the Slot Canyons to better facilitate guest better. In meantime, we do not suggest dehydrating yourself of water especially in the Arizona desert, but to be more conscious of the opportunities to use facilities with running water. The Navajo Nation has the health and safety of their people in mind, and this is why they are very strict on everyone abiding by the mask mandate that is set in place. With hundreds of visitors to the area and only 3 hospitals to service 250,000+ members, majority of that census is the elderly. Hopefully again in the near future once COVID is under control we will no longer have the mask mandate if everyone does their part. However, we would like to thank you for taking the time to write a review! We hope you return soon and, in the meantime, stay safe and healthy!
