Tour guide Richard is phenomenal and talented on so many levels. We have taken tours all over the world, but none have been as well done as Richard's. Having been raised in Monument Valley, his stories were wonderfully authentic. He not only is an excellent story teller, but he is a fabulous photo taker and that is what we really want from a tour... perfect memories. For some shots, "Ansel" laid on his stomach to capture the perfect background. He played traditional Navajo flute music for us. His tremendous sense of humor, which included imitations of John Wayne and Elvis, made our visit unforgettable. He and Ralph were very thoughtful and careful to make sure we were aware of the time differences between AZ and UT and substituted a closed van due to the windstorms in the Valley on the day of our tour. Plus the cost of the tour is reasonable.

Ritchie was an excellent guide. He was not only exceptionally knowledgeable, but he was also a lot of fun. We learned a lot about Navajo Nation.
