We love Larry!! Larry was great at informing us of the history of the area and also at taking great photos.
Shannan_B, Apr 2026
Larry was amazing and he played his wooden flute for us. The ride was very bumpy, so be prepared, but we had a good time. There were several wild horse sightings. We had a chance to get fry bread and look at what local vendors had for sale. The sunset tour was beautiful.

Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable of his native roots and customs. He was very friendly and accommodating

Plan extra time for the line to get to The View hotel meeting location. Might want a scarf or mask for dust. The tour is amazing and I would do it again!
Bill_C, Apr 2026
The views are amazing and our guide Travis takes first place among all guides. He was both informative and gave great insight into Navaho culture. He is also a gifted musician on the guitar, native flute and drum.
Kevin_M, Apr 2026
Travis was an outstanding guide and shared his expertise with us readily. We really appreciated his Navajo culture and petroglyph information. Travis was kind and very interactive. I would recommend Travis and Tribal Tours to anyone.
Angelle_S, Apr 2026
Travis is a truly terrific guide. He was very knowledgeable and his playing music for us was an expected delight. The drum at sunset in the sandbox was truly a moving and spiritual experience.
Karyl_L, Apr 2026
We had a great experience. Our guide Larry was so generous in sharing his culture and knowledge he made our trip.
If you want more than just a ride book this trip !!!

Amazing tour that took us off the beaten path to some very cool spots within Monument Valley. Our guide Nate was knowledgeable and very talented with a flute.
Sunitha_B, Apr 2026
The tour started off very quiet - I was nearly disappointed, but Travis and his fellow guides put on an unforgettable performance- sharing their beautiful music with us at various points in the tour. Just before the final stop, Travis shared great stories about his heritage, lineage and philosophy.
Highly recommend this tour!
Joyce_T, Apr 2026
It was a great experience, we made a few stops at some interesting spots! The guide Nate was very informative! It’s 3 hrs with one restroom break 45 mins into tour!! Overall great time!
Al_B, Apr 2026
Our guide was Larry. He is an amazing individual. He provided us an extremely unforgettable experience. His knowledge and unique ability to present it, coupled with his sterling personality, provide a tour that is truly "of the charts" fantastic. Ask for Larry.

Great experience. We had already driven the loop but the off road experience takes you places off the loop and you’re able to see arches not seen on the road. Our driver Travis was outstanding and shared his personal family story and how he is connected with the area,
Stephanie_D, Apr 2026
Larry our tour guide was wonderful! Took amazing photos of our family and gave us so much insight about the valley!

We are thrilled to hear that you snapped some amazing photos and enjoyed learning about the valley. Have a wonderful day and Happy Easter!
Morgan_S, Apr 2026
Took the Sunset Tour and it was perfect. Small group, great guide, perfect lighting. Strongly recommend doing a tour over self drive-allows you to relax, enjoy the sights, hear stories you would otherwise miss and go places only the guides can go. Highly recommend!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Morgan,
What a perfectly timed experience you had in Monument Valley! Enjoying the sunset in a small group setting really allows for a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere. It’s fantastic that your guide enhanced the evening with engaging stories while leading you to exclusive spots beyond the standard route. Letting someone else handle the driving truly makes it easier to soak in the scenery and appreciate every detail. Your strong recommendation beautifully reflects how much richer a guided tour can make the entire visit!
Shannon_O, Mar 2026
Jerry (tour guide) was amazing. The experience was awesome. Saw so many unique things and learned a lot about the Navajo culture. Highly recommend sunset as the lighting you get is magical.
Carrie_K, Mar 2026
Our family loved the rugged road, amazing views, exclusive access to Navajo land and our guide, Larry. Our pre-teen boys actually said thank you to us for arranging the tour. It was fantastic.
Sarah_C, Mar 2026
Our tour was a full three hours and explored parts of Monument Valley that are not viewable on your own. Our guide, Travis, was amazing. We never felt rushed, he took us to the most photogenic spots and he shared his vast knowledge of MV and the Navajo people. It was a very spiritual experience we will never forget!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Sarah,
We highly appreciate you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review as well as a five-star rating.
It sounds like your sunset tour was truly unforgettable! Travis’s ability to share the beauty, history, and spirit of Monument Valley while giving you time to fully take it in makes all the difference. Exploring hidden corners with a knowledgeable guide like him turns a simple visit into a deeply memorable and spiritual experience. We’re thrilled you had such a meaningful adventure and hope the memories—and photos—stay with you for a lifetime!
Chengxi_L, Mar 2026
Travis made the sunset tour a truly memorable experience. He had a deep understanding of Navajo history and culture and a knack for storytelling. He is also a talented musician, and we were blessed with his songs at multiple points along the trip. This tour took us to sites not accessible to the general public - highly recommend taking this tour rather than just driving through Monument Valley on your own.
Cynthia_S, Mar 2026
We had the best Navajo tour guide named Travis. He was awesome and very knowledgeable about the history of Monument Valley. I would recommend him to anyone.
CAROL_C, Feb 2026
The company was extremely flexible about our tour times and went the extra mile to accommodate us. Travis was an exceptional guide. He made our tour unforgettable with his music and insight. Seeing the petroglyphs and formations accompanied by music and stories was powerful. Highly recommend

Carol,
We always try our best to accommodate our guest, it’s our mission to make every trip smooth, fun, and easy going! Travis is truly one of a kind and we will be sure he hears to keep up the fabulous work. The musical performance is a heartwarming moment in our tours that we feel everyone should get to experience. We highly appreciate your recommendation and are so thankful for the five-star rating as well. Thank you once again Carol for joining us and we wish you the very best.
Manny_A, Feb 2026
Wonderful visit!
Travis was a great guide and an interesting human being which the experience even better. Lots of understanding to the Navajo culture was left with us, as he educated us with spoken history accompanied with his music talent. He played for us in 3 different location, and listening to him play traditional Navajo song standing next to this giants red rock felt very spiritual.
The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is the logistics. The Viator ticket doesn't indicate the name of the company and identifying Travis took a call to the Viator support. Completely uneeded.
Regardless, once we were hooked and traveling in the park, everything was exceptional.
Highly recommend ♥️

Great Tour! Travis was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the Navajo People, their culture, customs, etc. Added bonus, he is the grandson of a World War ll “Code Talker”.
duffenuff, Dec 2025
Travis was a super guide. As a musician he performed for our small group (7 in a van) more than once. He played a flute blessing in our stop at the hogan and the flute and hand held drum while singing a blessing at the Big Hogan. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared his love for his heritage and people and the land. Really aren’t enough superlatives to describe this experience. Felt very personal and special.
Akiko_R, Nov 2025
Our tour guide is Travis ( Dark Sky) took us a great tour. He explained the history, geography very well. Showed us the best picture spots and took a lot of great pictures for us. He plays flute and drum. It was absolutely beautiful! We were able to capture many pictures! Thank you!

Thomas_k, Nov 2025
Travis was an amazing guide . His skill playing the flute was world class. He took us to amazing locations in the park. He told us about Navajo history and some family stories. It was my second trip to the park. Didn't disappoint even the second trip!
Thanks Travis!!!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thomas,
We’re thrilled to see your five-star rating and hear that your second visit to Monument Valley was just as remarkable as the first! Travis’s expertise, captivating storytelling, and world-class flute playing clearly made your tour unforgettable. It’s wonderful that he shared both the rich history of the Navajo Nation and personal family stories, adding depth and meaning to your experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another extraordinary excursion in the future!
Bill_W, Oct 2025
Travis was a great guide with Tribal Tours. He played a flute that echoed through the canyon and told us about how his father told him the stories of their people through the petroglyphs.
The sun setting through Monument Valley was spectacular. My brother wanted to do it, now I need to come back with my wife and daughter. It was well worth it!
Gail_M, Oct 2025
We had a wonderful tour with Jameson. He shared great information about the land formations, his culture, music, and history. It’s a bumpy ride and you are sitting outside so dress appropriately.
Tejal_C, Oct 2025
The monument valley is jaw dropping gorgeous and thanks to our guide we had a wonderful
tour of the valley. Our guide gave us a taste of the local Navajo flavor by singing a couple of beautiful songs . An experience that will stay with us for a long time
Bonnie_C, Oct 2025
If you’re a senior, a pillow helps with the many, fun bumpy trails. It can get chilly. A beanie and vest works.
