We fully enjoyed our tour operator Von. She explained everything about the site and answered everyone’s questions. Really made the 3 hours go in a hurry. Highly recommend.

We chose the 7 hour tour which includes all of the biggies, the back country and the mystery valley. Back country and mystery valley is only accessible with a guide. We are so glad we did this tour. Our guide, Reever, was so knowledgeable. He described all of the sites, and included information on the culture and the geography. He also was able to show us ancient Anasazi ruins and gave us a lesson of their culture. He played a Native American flute while in the ruins, and listening to it echo was magical. There was so much that it’s too much to write. If you can request Reever, I would. Not sure if the tour accepts requests. You will not be sorry. The full day tour is totally worth the money.

Roz was our guide and she did an awesome job guiding us, driving truck and providing options to individualize the tour. Also, we had unknowingly booked similar tours, one for a.m. and one for sunset. Before we embarked on first tour, the gentlemen from the office helped us understand that it would basically be the same tour and gave us options. We chose to do the backcountry sunset tour, and he refunded our other tour!!!! Thank you for that. anyway, the tour was wonderful. views are just beautiful, the area is beautiful. Left with a filled heart and feeling quite humbled. a tribal tour is a must if visiting the area!!!
