Truly fantastic experience!

McKaye_N, Nov 2023

We had the most amazing time! Our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that we experienced the best that the valley has to offer. We're very very glad that we booked a tour instead of trying to drive the trail ourselves. And we're especially lucky to have booked with Three Sister and opted for the longer tour--our guide gave us a much fuller and more personal understanding of the valley and the people who have called it home than we could've possibly imagined. Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

We are extremely excited you all enjoyed your tour. Thank you for sharing your experience. We hope you come back to see us.

The tour itself was good, but the same tour was provided by a group bus that travelled to all the same locations in the park. Those tours run on a regular schedule. The issue with this tour is that they lost the keys for the truck and showed up 40 minutes late. Just not well organized.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello there. We are so sorry for having you wait. The keys was not lost but locked inside the vehicle. We had tried to get the vehicle open as fast as we could with a wire and a plier. We do apologize. It’s something that happens and we again are sorry. We do hope you enjoyed your tour with Helen. Kind regards, Shannon Cly

Great tour! Thank you

After some initial confusion about the collection point, Cory worked with me to ensure I got my tour. Helen was very knowledgeable and engaging. I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and would recommend Three Sisters Navajo Guided Tours to anyone who wants an authentic experience of Monument Valley.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We apologize for the confusion, we are working on trying to make it easier for our clients. We are so happy you all enjoyed your tour with Helen. Thank you for taking the time on sharing your experience. We hope to see you all again soon. Shannon
