Don Mose was an excellent tour guide and gives your company a good reputation. Don was knowledgable, friendly, and funny---everything you would want in a great tour guide. He never made us feel rushed and we saw and learned interesting and wonderful aspects about Monument Valley and the Dine. I hope that you are compensating him well because he is one of your company's biggest asset.

This experience was exceptionally special. Don is the only way to tour the back country of Monument Valley, especially if you love history, are a John Wayne fan, interested in Navajo/Native preservation, or just love good sight seeing! Don is a gift to his people and now to those of us blessed to spend time with him! My husband and I will never forget our time with him, listening and learning, and experiencing the valley through his eyes (and life experiences)! So much knowledge and an awesome photographer too! He may be over 80 but this man still has so much life and energy to spread in the world. Thank you Don for the couple of hours you taught us about the Diné people and sharing your grandpa’s and mother’s legacy (now yours)! Just do it - spend time with this man - you will not regret it!

Based on the Trip Advisor reviews, I chose this trip, and we were not disappointed. Don showed us amazing photo spots like a professional photographer and told us a lot about the history of the petroglyphs and their native origins. My son was in awe. He took us to a female hogan where an older woman showed us spinning wool and described the local resources and plants used throughout history. He took us to a cave where a guy played a beautiful flute. A private tour is worth every penny. Don is a national treasure at the intersection of two cultures.
