Very knowledgeable tour guide! Gave us a lot of information on the Navajo culture and history. Provided photo hints. To really get the full impact of Monument Valley, you must do a tour!

Hey there! Thanks so much for the review. Is it possible to bump us up to five stars if you had a great time? It looked that that’s what you meant to do! Leaving anything less then a five star rating brings down our companies reputation and has a big impact on us on trip advisor. If you can please just rate how the tour went we would be so grateful. Our company means a lot to us. We want to remain a top company. We are listening to any concerns and we care for your satisfaction! Thank you!!!

Our tour guide, Larry Team, really made the trip worthwhile. His knowledge of the Navajo nation and the Monument Valley area brought the experience to life. He told fantastic stories about all the rock formations, as well as interesting stories of his family history. You must book a tour to really appreciate the beauty and history of the valley. If you drive the route yourself, you'll miss out on so much information - it will not be the same. If you get Larry Team as your guide, you'll have a wonderful experience.

Terrific tour with a terrific guide Larry Team. Larry shared many interesting things with us about his culture and Monument Valley, even singing a song for us at the “Big Hogan” arch site. His storytelling, tour pacing and overall approach made for a really enjoyable and educational tour. We would highly recommend both MV Tribal Tours and Larry Team. Also recommend the extended backcountry tour if you have the time. It’s a nicer pace and Larry had no problem filling the time! One tip for tourists to consider - Monument Valley can get dusty and windy. We were in a typical passenger van and happy for it. Some companies operate open-air tour vans. That looks great, and I’m sure they are nice for viewing and photography, but they also leave you exposed to the wind and dust. We had plenty of opportunities to get out of the van and explore on foot, especially because we did the extended backcountry tour.
