Our guide Larry was knowledgeable and great. Explained patiently the stories behind the mesas and different sights. Strongly recommended.

We did the extended tour and Larry Team was an excellent guide, he told us a lot about Navajo traditions and lore, very educational. The scenery on this tour is awesome.

Very fun tour of Monument Valley. Just driving through the road on your own would be beautiful but you would not learn very much. The guide we had was very nice and we got to see a lot of areas you could not see on the regular road that the normal entrance fee allows you to see (Hogan home, petroglyphs and beautiful rock formations). However, the only thing that stops me from giving this a full five of five is the mask restrictions that are imposed. You are required to wear a mask at all times including when you are out of the vehicle. I believe in masking up around folks and am vaccinated so this is not an anti-mask rant. However, when you are outside away from everyone it is ok to take your mask off. Out of fear that I would get in trouble I kept my mask on due to all of the signs and warnings. Regardless, this was not my place and I follow rules so that is the only reason I give a lower rating. You will wear a mask the entire time you are in the park. Even outside.

Hey there! Thanks so much for the review. Is it possible to bump us up to five stars if you had a great time? We honestly have no control over the mask rule. If we want to operate in the park we have to follow what is required of the Navajo Government and Park and Recreations. 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! Thankfully they are lifting the mask requirement. Thank you!!
