Our guide Larry Team was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable, funny and talented. We would do another tour with him in a heartbeat.

Larry Team was our tour guide and he is just exceptional!! Not only did he share information about the rock formations and helped us to see the various shapes in them, but he also shared information and stories about the Navajo culture, and guided us when taking pictures. It was extremely informative and so pleasant. The whole park is stunning, but having the incredible chance to tour the backcountry with such an expert guide is simply wonderful and an opportunity of a lifetime. The self-guided tour is great, but by taking this tour you learn so much more about Monument Valley. I highly recommend taking this tour!!

Larry Team was our tour operator and did an exceptional job of explaining the Navajo cultural and the beginning of life and the worlds and progression of the people on this earth. At each stop Larry explained how the particular stop related to the Navajo history. This was our anniversary and we both felt that this was the best anniversary trip we have had. We also went to the Mystery Valley which increased our knowledge of the history of the Indian Cultural in the Four Corner States, learning about the Anasazi people their appearance and disappearance from the area finding out how small the people were compared to people today. being able to climb up to some of the caves to see where they lived. The rock formations and caves were unbelievable, you must take both Tours to truly understand the beauty and history of Monument Valley and Mystery Valley
