This tour was everything we expected and more. Ros, our tour guide, was informative and had great knowledge of the area to answer all of our questions. She pointed out great photo opportunities and shared with the realities of Navaho life from her own personal experiences. I learned so much. Definitely take this tour!!

We did the extended back country tour with Marjorie Gray. She was excellent! She gave lots of history about the Navajo culture and also took extra time so we could take lots of pictures and really absorb the beauty of Monument Valley. The back country tour takes you to places that are typically off limits to tourists and the extended tour gives you an extra hour to explore the area. My 11 year old daughter who is normally “bored” loves this tour! We highly recommend taking this trip through Monument Valley!!! ❤️💯

This backcountry tour was a great way to see an extended area of the Valley. It allowed us to both enjoy the touring rock formations without the stress of driving the rough roads. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable . She was unrushed as she stopped at various rock formations giving us time to explore and take pictures. We took the afternoon tour in November and the lightening driving back was beautiful.
