My husband and 11 year old son did the half day tour. Our tour guide was Parick, a soft spoken and excellent tour guide. We loved riding in the outdoors in the back of his truck. Our son rode indoors with him and we could see them chatting. Patrick is young enough to get along with a child and also give a great tour which interested us all. Monument Valley is an incredible place, and I highly recommend going with a guide, as you can go off the main road, and a guide knows which spots are the most special. Patrick sang for us near the end of the tour with the accompaniment of his drum. With his eyes closed and the emotion in his voice, one could really feel the history, both noble and tragic, of the Navajo people.
