We were picked up at the KOA with our Twin girls 4 year old by our private guide. Amazing experience being shown around all the amazing places. I did a small tour in 1994 already but this now was mind blowing with great places for stunning pictures and places the kids could enjoy having just fun. Thanks a lot guys for this experience. Would recommend everyone to go for it. We did the trip in 2019 July actually but I guess it is still the same if you do it in 2021 😉

Even though the Navajos Nation is currently closed we had a wonderful time with Reever on an abbreviated tour. Monument Valley Tribal Tours was more than happy to work with us on what they were able to offer that we hadn't seen on our own. Reever took us to see Tear Drop Arch and hike up to the ruins for an amazing discussion of his family's history in Monument Valley and a heartfelt song on his flute. Such an informative and intimate experience. I highly recommend seeing this striking area.

Originally scheduled for this tour, but due to the virus it was canceled and substituted for a 3 hour private tour by Off Road Adventurer Tribal Tours. Our tour guide was Reever and delivered the best experience we have ever had in this type of a setting. Reever is extremely knowledgeable of the Navajo customs and traditions and past on information learned from his Grand Mother and Great Grandmother. Our tour went into the back canyon where we viewed fantastic formations, etc. I would highly recommend this tour company and if at all possible, be sure to request Reever as your guide.
