My wife, Karen, and I experienced a spectacular tour of Monument Valley on the morning of May 22, 2022 as part of our road trip from Ohio. What made this tour so special was our Navajo guide, Reever. He was very informative and told us many traditional customs and stories of the Navajo culture. He learned many of the Navajo stories from his grandmother, who is still living. From her, he passes down his knowledge to us while on the tour. Reever takes this hand-be-down Navajo stories more seriously now that he is older. Reever also played music on his flute and sang a Navajo song under a wingate sandstone alcove with a horizontal arch above. All of us just leaned back against the rock and listened. The mood was surreal and the feeling of being closer to the earth was apparent. Reever was also accommodating and patient and answered all of our questions . I would highly recommend Reever as a superb guide and also the Monument Valley Tribal Tours.👍👍

Larry Team was our Guide and we found him both well informed and well organized. His language was equally responsive. In detail he related the history of Monument Valley and surrounding area. His knowledge of various rock formations was very impressive Should we come again we would hope to have him as our guide.
