We had a wonderful day in Monument Valley with our guide, Will Cowboy. He was informative and took us to all the best photo stops, including places like Ear of the Wind where regular vehicles can’t access. At our last stop, Will played a frame drum and sang a traditional Native American song.

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.

Overview

The only way to explore the inner workings of Monument Valley is with a Navajo guide—it also happens to be the best way. On this small-group tour, your local guide takes you from fantastic buttes, spires, and mesas to natural arches, amphitheaters, and Anasazi petroglyphs. Wander this sacred ground exploring its beauty, significance, history, and culture while learning about its history and geology.
  • Get access to parts of Monument Valley otherwise restricted
  • Follow a local Navajo guide who offers invaluable knowledge

Great Tour

Pamela_N, Sept 2026
The tour takes you to places not open to the general public. Our guide Sean was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was also a talented musician, playing a traditional Navajo flute for us. Just be aware that the tour is open air transportation and got very hot and dusty( use sun screen and tie you hat on or you’ll lose it) but worth it to see some of the backcountry of Monument Valley with a Navajo guide.

Great tour!

Fascinating beyond-the-scenes tour by gentleman who partially grew up in the area. He was very generous with his time and information.

You can get dusty from the traffic but not too bad. This is a lot of fun and very worthwhile to do. You see and learn about the Navajo way.

Excellent tour!

Shaunna_L, Jun 2026
This tour was amazing! Shawn, was our guide and did a great job driving to the sites and explaining the Navajo culture. It’s really such a humbling and beautiful experience. We originally were booked for a 1PM tour but we were running late. The company was so great they allowed us to I’ve to the 6pm, sunset tour. Totally worth it and not nearly as hot as the earlier one. This stop was not on my original itinerary from the Grand Canyon to Arches, but I am surely glad we made this detour. Anyone reading this should book!

Wonderful tour with Navajo Spirit Tours

Suzanne_W, May 2026
On May 6th we had a great tour with Larson as our guide. He was very welcoming and open to answering all of the questions we asked. He is very knowledgeable about Navajo traditions and and the reservation. We would gladly have listened to the stories he told us all day if we could. What a beautiful Valley to explore and such a well done tour! My husband and I had Larson as a guide before and I was so glad to have him there when I introduced my sister and her husband to Monument Valley. Thank you to Navajo Spirit Tours and Larson for a wonderful day!

Stacey_H, Apr 2026
Fabulous tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and the views were amazing. Travelers should note that there is a welcome center and a visitors center. They are not the same. Be sure to go to the correct one.

Great Guide

Monuments Galore

John_S, Mar 2026
Monumental! Excellent guide who provided lots of information and clarity in pointing out the names of the mesas. You will learn which were used in movies and TVs. If you are old enough you might even remember seeing them. We had a great time and the scenery is amazing.

Our guide was so friendly...

Tanya_H, Mar 2026
Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. We felt fully immersed in the culture for the day. The place was gorgeous!

The Bainbridge Family Experience with Shaun

Denise_B, Mar 2026
You get to travel on restricted roads and get close to monuments. We had Shaun, a superior guide, who shared so much knowledge and history and personal experiences. Shaun’s stories and history felt so personal and I was touched by what I learned. The three hours was like you wasn’t ready for it to end. The Bainbridge afamily

Amazing views enriched by history

Julie_Q, Mar 2026
Our guide, Larsen, made the trip incredible. We learned so much Navajo history and saw things like petroglyphs we never would have found on our own. Worth it times ten!
