Larry Team was an excellent guide! The four of us enjoyed Larry's company and his native heritage of the Navajo Nation. We were most fortunate to hear about the history of the back country, his ancestors and witness AWESOME sights that he explained to us. Larry was also a gentleman in helping people into/out of the van. Larry conveyed the sacred meaning of the Valley. He also performed a Navajo prayer and chanted for us to focus on our sense of being with the spirits in the Valley where so many of his ancestors and beliefs reside. It was truly memorable experience! Thank you, Larry!

My family and I loved this tour. Sandrea was an excellent guide. She grew up in the area and spoke first hand about the history of Monument Valley and Navajo Traditions. We were able to take our time at every stop. She also demonstrated Navajo music by singing a song from her childhood and playing the flute for us. The extended backcountry tour was the highlight of our trip. Thank you for the wonderful memories. <3

We took this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Navajo guide was very knowledgeable and nice, He took us to many neat places in monument valley park. He even played a double flute for us. Overall a nice tour that we enjoyed very much. It gave us the opportunity to see parts of the park we would not be able to see by just driving on the public road, Would recommend this tour.
