We were very happy with the extended backcountry tour. Larry Team was our guide, and he made it a great experience. I stayed in the vehicle during some of our stops because of a previous knee injury, and he was careful to park so I had a good view while the others walked to closer looks. His talks during the tour gave us insight into the tribal history and interaction with the land. The tour was 3 1/2 hours, which was a good amount of time for seeing more than just the high points. Some people on our tour had apparently arranged for an all day experience with our guide after the backcountry tour, which I imagine would be very rewarding. Highly recommend the extended tour for adults and teens.

We loved the singing at Big Hogan and visiting the village and hearing her talk of Navajo life. The rugs are beautiful.

I took this tour three years ago and both times have been excellent. Marjory was my guide this time. She was sweet and very informative. The only problem was others on the tour spent too much time at any given spot asking questions, taking pictures, etc. Marjory did not push them along so we didn't have time to go further in the tour than a visit to the Sky's eye before we had to head back for her next scheduled tour group.
