Monument Valley is a magic place and there are no words to describe it. Booking my 2.5 hour tour with Simpsons Trailhandler made it perfect! I highly recommend this company! Very easy to book online and they pick you up at The View Hotel at the exact time booked. Our tour guide Richard was te best! Very experienced, knows the valley like the palm of his hand, friendly, patient and he explained us a lot of the navajo culture and showed us AMAZING places. He also took us incredible pictures and give us tips for best scenic pictures. Ask for Richard when booking your tours. Thank you Simpsons Trailhandler for making my visit a truly unique and wonderful experience. I hope to go back for a watching stars tour! Susana (El Salvador).

I booked a reservation for an afternoon jeep tour of Monument Valley with Simpson's Trailhandler Tours. Couldn't have been more pleased! I had called to company directly and spoke to Ralph. He was very courteous and informative and answered all my questions.He promptly emailed me confirmation of our tour. We were met by our tour leader, Vera, in an enclosed Jeep as requested. She was very knowledgeable and so friendly. She handled the Jeep professionally as the roads were rough. Vera gave us plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful canyons and rock formations. We enjoyed seeing the locations that most tours don't go to. Vera sang us a beautiful peaceful Navajo song. We loved every minute of this tour and would do it again!! Thanks Vera and Ralph!!!

We booked the Monument Valley Tour for Monday, 3/11/19. As we were picked up at the hotel, we really had no idea how fantastic this tour would be. If you are on the fence, this tour is amazing! You get access to areas where only the Navajo Nation and guests are allowed. The photos we took just on our phone look photoshopped they are so good! Our guide, Wayne, was a treasure! Though he was so much fun, he was also a wealth of information. He shared stories of his past and of his culture with every site we visited. We got insight into how the Navajos live now and lessons on the beliefs then and now. Every site we toured was a unique surprise and delight. And he had photography skills that amazed and delighted our teenagers.
