Sandrea shared with us her love of her people and the land she loves. It was magical to be taken deep into the canyons where tribes have lived for centuries. Her flute playing and songs sealed a sense of the place and the people. The stories she shared with us gave us insight into life there. As I already know about how these people honour and are connected with their land the highlight for me was to be invited into a traditional hogan and be shown the ancient art of rug making and the baby cradle board plus how they use their plants. A truly special experience I will always remember. A big thank you Sandrea Xx

As we leave Monument Valley, we feel that we have truly experienced the magic, history and wonder of this unique place on Mother Earth! So glad we did the full day tour because we were in areas where the general public cannot go and the afternoon was very different from the morning. Larry Team of Tribal Tours was our guide and as a guide, we give him a 10/10!! His knowledge of the area is extensive both geologically and historically and we learned so much about the customs and traditions of the people who have lived here. Larry is a careful driver, especially over rough terrain and when we chose to climb a steep rock incline to get a closer look at some arches, he led the way and helped us to make it to the top and down again safely. Lots of places he took us, we were the only ones there. Take this tour, you won’t regret it!!

Monument Valley extended tur was amazing. Our guide, Sandrea was very kind and she told us a lot about Living in a Navajo tripe. She also had a lot of interesting intell about monument Valley. We especially loved the performances at “Big Hogan” with some of the other groupes. Thank you for a great experience. Regards from Kasper and Julie visiting from Denmark :-)
