Our guide Yvonne was fantastic very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and the history of the valley and her people.

What an amazing tour (and guide) we had in Monument Valley! Yvonne took us all around the 17 mile loop, making sure to let us stop for plenty of pictures and informing us of all the formation's names and history of the Navajo people and the valley. She also gave us tons of helpful photograph tips to make sure we captured the best shots possible. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Joseph was AWESOME!! He was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information. We are so glad we chose to do the tour. It was great!
Claudia_F, May 2026
Our guide, Bobby, was very knowledgeable. He provided interesting information not only about the natural structures but also the Navajo and other Indian cultures. He and another guide performed a very moving set of native music with guitar, flute, and drum. The echoing music was almost spiritual. I'm not easily impressed but I would highly recommend this tour. We did the 3 hour tour that started at noon. The sunrise and sunset tours would probably also be excellent but midday was great.

Beautiful and informative tour experience. Bring a camera and a jacket. It can get cold when the wind picks up.

This was great! Got to see some amazing stuff and it ended with a very cool music demonstration. Would definitely recommend.

The tour operator vehicle was a old suburban suv when my wife getting the inside of vehicle was very difficult to get in because the suv too high and without a step or small chair to get in, so she was getting hurt and bleeding on her leg , then the driver/tour guide didn’t provide any first aid support, and he was so rude to my wife saying if she didn’t like the tour, the driver said he can take her back to the meeting point and get a refund, we have been so many Viator tours since 2014, we are a loyalty customer, I am demanding a refund and apology from the tour operator and your company
Response from Host, May 2026
I’m really sorry this happened. As the owner of Monument Valley Safari, I take full responsibility.
An older SUV shouldn’t have been used on that tour, it was too high and lacked a proper step, and that’s on us.
Your wife getting hurt and then not getting any first aid or kindness from the driver is completely unacceptable. That’s not how we treat guests, especially longtime loyal ones like you.
I’m refunding the full amount right away and I’m sending a personal apology to both you and your wife. This should never have happened, and we’re already making changes so it doesn’t happen again.
Thank you for telling us. We value customers who’ve been with us since 2014, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to get it right next time.

The Monument Valley tour was a wonderful experience. Our guide Joseph was very informative and I loved the stories he told. He was also great with capturing the best photos to highlight our trip. We got to experience Monument Valley in a way we wouldn't have seen otherwise. I am so glad we were able to spend the time to see it this way versus just driving through. Would highly recommend!
Phil_W, Apr 2026
The tour guy was excellent. Very knowledgeable and welcomed questions.
The off the loop portion of the tour made the entire tour well-worth the cost.
Pamela_S, Apr 2026
The guide was fabulous and told us all about Monument Valley. The open air vehicle was very comfortable and we got to go to areas that are off limits to the public.
Charles_F, Apr 2026
It is an open air Jeep but they provided blankets on this chilly morning. Guided were knowledgeable and the sights were well worth the trip. I believe the guide provided insights that wouldn’t be available to a self guided tour
Chip_C, Apr 2026
Phots and various movies do not due justice to the beauty and serenity of this place. It’s remote and it’s a bumpy ride in spots but worth it!
R_G, Apr 2026
Be aware, if you have lower back problems this can be a bit bumpy at times. Sit in front or middle of vehicle. Very scenic and hassle free with lots of information.
Sandrine_G, Apr 2026
We had booked the 4.30 pm tour and arrived at the park entrance around 4 pm. Unfortunately, the queue of cars wasn’t moving, as there was only one person managing arrivals. I would therefore recommend arriving at least 45 minutes early to avoid any stress.
We finally arrived at the meeting point at 4.35 pm, feeling a little worried that our guide might have already left. There was a moment of confusion, but we eventually managed to join a group, and the rest of the experience was very enjoyable.
We spent three wonderful hours in Monument Valley with our guide. The scenery was breathtaking and we were able to take some magnificent photos. I highly recommend hiring a guide: they take you into the backcountry, where we saw wild horses and witnessed a traditional song.
However, it’s worth noting that the guide doesn’t stop at every "point". Ours made about five/six stops.
Tip: try to get a seat at the front of the vehicle to avoid having your view obstructed.

Our guide Bobby was very nice and informative. I would definitely recommend taking this tour while visiting Monument Valley.
Anna_B, Apr 2026
This tour was simply magnificent! Our tour guide, Bobby, was soft-spoken yet extremely knowledgeable. He even played his American Indian flute (which we loved!) and it gave us a feel for how things once were there in the midst of the monuments.
Very satisfied and happy we took this tour.
Tim, Apr 2026
This is a great experience! Be aware you will have a bumpy ride through the valley either in a closed or open van. I put this experience in the top 5 I've ever done. Such a pretty and amazing place. My guides were Steven and Yvonne and they both were great, offering to take pictures and take questions.
Jimmy_F, Apr 2026
We were two minutes due to slow pay station. When we got there no one knew our you and they directed us to several groups that had the same name as our tour
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi Jimmy! I am so sorry to hear that we missed you. If you contact us I will be happy to process a full refund for you. Kind regards, Shaye

One of the best tours we’ve been on. Von was awesome. She made the tour such a rich experience. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Susan_I, Apr 2026
It was wonderful. I will never forget the beautiful sites. Elvis was our Navajo guide. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and very nice. Be ready for the dust!!! I would absolutely do this tour again.
Diane_D, Apr 2026
Guided tour was very informative and you access areas not available to the ring road only purchase Von was an exceptional guide and plays the flute for the extra experience
Laurie_M, Mar 2026
We greatly enjoyed our tour of Monument Valley with our Navajo guide Joe on March 11th. It was evident Joe was proud of his heritage and extremely knowledgeable about his land. He is also a very skilled storyteller. He made our afternoon an unforgettable experience. A Navajo guide is the only way to tour Monument Valley!
Robert_W, Mar 2026
We had an amazing tour. Got to see restricted areas. Bobbi was our guide and he was so kind and full of information. Would definitely recommend asking for him to take us again. Views of a lifetime.
Raffaele_S, Mar 2026
Honestly? Visiting Monument Valley was one of the most amazing experiences. Bobby was great, incredibly kind, and a wonderful guide. He showed us the stunning land of the Navajo while sharing the history and culture of his people, which made the whole experience feel much more meaningful.
He also treated us to a beautiful performance of Navajo music on flute and guitar together with his band-mate, which was truly special.
Thanks again, Bobby, we really enjoyed the tour. ❤️
Julie_B, Mar 2026
The tour guide was amazing and explained so many things about the Navajo culture, how do they live, the rocks, the names of the rocks, their formations, etc…
Amanda_A, Mar 2026
Wonderful tour - guide was great, very informative and beautiful stops along the way. Enjoy the history, traditional music and scenery. Highly recommend
William_O, Mar 2026
3 hour tour with Navajo Nation guide was terrific. Our guide, Steven, was friendly and provided great detail about Navajo lifestyle and culture.
Mark_A, Mar 2026
The jeep tour was most informative. Learning about the Navajo culture from long ago. The valley is incredible...beautiful! Steve was the best guide! We are very happy we had him. Love his depiction of old vs new in this culture...and when he played the Native American flute...well it was a very spiritual experience! He was the BEST!!! Highly recommend!
Morgan_J, Mar 2026
100% worth it. You get to visit areas of Monument Valley that you couldn't without a guide. A lot of history & culture. Even grabbed some dry bread on our trip!
Tommii_Z, Mar 2026
Booked this tour due to my car too low!
Absolutely worth it! Tony is such a fun and creative tour guide who brought us to various sites that’s not reachable by normal tourists and help took so many creative pictures for the family! Tony also educated us with information regarding the tribe and the park. We absolutely love the tour and would definitely recommend to anyone!
