3 Hour Monument Valley Tour

Helps you fully appreciate the majesty of Monument Valley!

An incredible way to see the beauty and hear the history of Monument Valley. Our tour guide John was informative and funny. He knew more about our phone cameras than we did!

Monument Valley Extended Backcountry Tour

Marissa_J, Jun 2026

Great tour!

Larry was a WONDERFUL tour guide! He was very kind and accommodating. For the elderly in our group, he would get out a step ladder for the steep step down and would help people down. He is very knowledgeable about Monument Valley and its history. Would recommend this tour and Larry’s guidance to anyone visiting. We had a great time!!

Keiko_G, Jun 2026

Amazing tour!

Highly recommend this tour. We had Travis as our guide and he was outstanding. He took very good care of our group, told us stories about his culture, had a sense of humor and sang and played music for us (guitar, drum and flute). The scenery and the sights we visited were amazing. The entire experience is one that cannot be experienced if driving on your own. This tour is definitely worth taking.

Sunrise Tour of Monument Valley

We had a great tour of Monument Valley and Tim, our tour guide, did an excellent job of explaining Navajo culture and religion. We got beautiful pictures of the sunrise and highly recommend the tour!

Sunset Tour of Monument Valley

The tour to take as a first time visitor

This is the tour I would take if it was my first time visiting Monument Valley. This was our first visit and this was a fabulous introduction. The drive can be done in your own vehicle, but it's a really rough road. Better to be driven in a vehicle built to accomodate the bumps. Also, you see much more on this tour than you can see on your own. Our guide was very informative and a good driver. We had some great places to take photos as the sun was coming down.

Please don't miss this one.

We'd driven through Monument Valley before and it was spectacular but this tour adds an entirely new dimension to the experience. We now all agree that this tour is a CAN'T MISS opportunity. It was truly one of the best tours that we've ever been on and we have traveled all over the world.

More Than Just a Tour

Don was awesome. He showed us how to take beautiful pictures. His knowledge or the past, various movies stars and such and what all they did. Showing more detail in the area that I am sure not everyone else knew about and quite sure the other guides did not nor could not tell. In all, at the end my wife and I thought we just had a three hour college course. Unbelievable and remarkable. Many thanks to Don.
