Larry Team was our guide. He was wonderful. He regaled us with stories of his father and his Navaho heritage and explained how the stories and legends related to the many "Monuments" in the Park. He was patient and we were very fortunate to be his only guests for the day. He answered every question with confidence and humor and made the day a very enjoyable experience for us. Ask for him to be your guide!

Sandrea was our guide. She did an excellent job of teaching about the Navajo nation as well as identifying the formations that are only visible via a back country tour. We highly recommend taking this back country tour of Monument Valley, especially with Sandrea.

A truly amazing experience especially since our Guide Larry Team explained the Navajo Culture and Legends as we passed through the Valley. Larry even entertained us and several other visitors with a Navajo song that was dedicated to young Navajo men before they left Their Land to serve their Country.
