What a great tour! Sandrea was our guide. She did a fantastic job and was so much fun. She’s so informative and have a wonderful personality. She not only showed us so many monuments but when we got to The Big Hogan, she played her deer skin drum and sang a Navajo song. Then, she taught us a little song. She helped us with our photography and took pictures of us. I’ve wanted to visit MV for years and Tribal Tours with Sandrea checked every box for me. Thank you Sandrea!

Our guide was Sandrea. Excellent. We did monument valley in the morning and Mystery Valley in the after noon. Sandrea was so informative and her personal insight was an added bonus. Highly recommend

Larry Team was our guide and host for an outstanding day! If you have the time, this is THE TOUR to take. Larry knows the backcountry and side-tracks intimately. He re-routed and took secret shortcuts, watching the movements of other vehicles, to show us unique vistas, ruins, and arches with no one else around to dilute the silence and beauty of our visit. Larry shared the history, traditions, and religion of his people in the context of this beautiful place. The Hogan visit was an outstanding experience, giving us genuine insight and education about Navajo life. When the beautiful, sunny morning turned to wind Ann’s dust, Larry exchanged our open air vehicle for an enclosed, comfortable SUV for the afternoon. What an amazing guide!
