We book this tour in December to be safe. As scheduled, we show up at the meeting point at 9.00 (8.50 to do everything calmly) and immediately receive the first very welcome surprise: we are alone! A pick-up and a guide, 3 hours just for the two of us!
It goes without saying that Monument Valley is magnificent, a unique spectacle! But beyond what you see in a thousand magazines and websites there is more... much more... much more! And with this guided tour we savored everything in depth, we experienced every detail, we fully appreciated every point of view, we enjoyed every glimpse.
The guide, Benny, friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, told us many details and ancient stories and legends that would otherwise have been almost impossible to know.
In addition to the valley and the main roads, we traveled along many secondary roads, accessible only to tours and which allowed us to visit places that would have been impossible to access independently.
Without this tour we would have enjoyed 50% of the beauty of the magnificent Monument Valley.
Advice:
- Even if the price is high, it is a tour that everyone absolutely must do, unknown and wonderful places! (See photo)
- Book the tour before leaving, we were lucky to be alone, but this is not always the case
- In the summer months the heat is scorching, hats and water bottles are a must
- Don't forget that we are in the desert, snakes, scorpions and spiders are at home
- Tipping the guide is strongly recommended, but it is still money well spent.
- Make sure you have plenty of smartphone or camera memory!
