Our guide Richard was very informative and had many interesting stories about growing up in the area. He had a wonderful sense of humor and even played the flute for us. It was very magical hearing the sound echo off the rock formation. He offered to take pictures of us and even showed us a few photo tips. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Richard was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and told us personal stories about living in Monument Valley. I highly recommend this tour as you get to see things you wouldn’t see just by driving through and the personal stories, really bring meaning to this special place.

Richard gave us so much attention, laughs, and photo suggestions/opportunities. The tour felt like it was designed specifically for us. He took us to the best back country sites. We are SO glad we didn't try to make due with the self-tour that doesn't allow for access to the back country. Highly recommend!
