If you’re expecting a lot of non stop talking, don’t. Guide sitting in cab, no speaker during ride. Drove by a lot of sights with no commentary. When he did speak when we stopped, spoke too fast for me. Guide did have good photo ideas and the music performance was very nice. Expect very bumpy ride..
The trip was great. BUT I strongly dispute Viator's policy of providing NO DIRECT CONTACT INFORMATION for either Viator itself or the trip provider at the time we made our reservation. For reasons beyond our control we had to amend our plans on short notice, & I had to Google both Viator & the contracted tour provider to get phone #s. Once we called Viator Mohamed provided excellent assistance. For reasons unknown, I never received emails sent by Viator & the contractual tour provider.
While I would strongly recommend hiring a guide to see Monument Valley - & this specific contractor - I would strongly advise people not to do so through Viator.
Great tour. Our guide Levander, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was always willing to take family photos
Our tour guide, Bobby, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend him if touring Monument Valley.
What a fantastic experience! We enjoyed every minute. Joseph was brilliant with so much knowledge and interesting facts from start to finish. He also helped us take some amazing photos along the way. Definitely recommend this trip when visiting Monument valley.
The tour exceeded my expectations. John, my tour guide, gave us a complete look at the park and provided us with detailed explanations of the meaning of the park to the Navajo people. Amazing place.
Such a great time. Joe did an awesome job of making the trip both informative and fun at the same time. Thanks!
We arrived at the View Hotel for sunrise over the valley…. Highly recommend this experience! We were meet by our guide Bobby for our 8am 3hr tour. He greeted us by name and was such a brilliant guide. We explored the back country and got a full Navajo cultural experience. Highly recommend this group.
The tour was very very good. John, our guide, was most personable and took extra care to be sure each participant had the ultimate experience. The Valley is majestic and John took time to explain the different formations, Navajo believes and practices, history and lore of the Navajo Nation. We recommend both the tour and John as your guide.
This was such a great tour. We had Joe as the driver and guide. He explained different parts of the Navajo culture both past and present. Helped us with camera angles and settings to get the best pictures. He was funny and knowledgeable. I took my older parents who stayed in the transport at the stops. Climbing the 2 step latter type steps was a little hard for them. Be careful on the rocks, with sand on the bottom of your shoes makes the rocks slippery, which Joe did warn us about. I would definitely take this tour again
The tour was very good, we drove around the 17 Mile drive and into private restricted area and told us about the sites we were seeing. Water was supposed to be included but we didn't get any, we might have if we asked for it but no one did.
Finding the tour at the View Hotel was confusing because we didn't know the name of our tour other than Three Hour Monument Valley Tour but we needed the company name because there are many tours meeting at The View Hotel.
That they should take the tour. We had an amazing, informative tour. Our guide Tully Begay was amazing!!
Incredible tour. Would recommend to anyone to take this tour. We had the whole family including my 82 year old mother. Everyone loved it.
Our 3 hour tour in Monument Valley was incredible. Our Navajo Tour Guide Bobby was very knowledgeable and shared his heritage with us. At one point under the Arch, he began to play his Indian Flute. He truly made our visit even more memorable ! We would highly recommend Bobby from Monument Valley Safari !
Joe is an excellent tour guide who has first hand knowledge of Monument Valley and Navajo life. He is fascinating to listen to and offers an experience to the valley that you can’t get from driving around on your own. Joe gives a mixture of history, tips on photos, and behind the scene highlights that without this tour would be missed. We had 12 people in our group and we all agreed this was a worth while 3 hour adventure!
This tour takes you back into the far reaching portions of Monument Valley where you see Arches and canyons and native settlements. It’s so much better than just driving the short tourist loop by yourself. Our tour guide Jim was excellent and really gave us a great tour.
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!
Bobby was an awesome tour guide with great information about Monument Valley and the Navajo tribe. The finally of the tour was a wonderful surprise, may not always occur at end of tour just did for us. We were able to explore and Bobby provided perfect locations to take pictures.
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.
Gorgeous scenery and a wonderful tour guide named Joseph. Highly recommend! Able to see areas that the public can’t access.
The tour was very informative. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He told us family stories and took us to spots that can only be seen by taking this tour. The stop where they play the flute and sing was amazing. Really enjoyed that.
The reason for only 3 stars was because this was advertised as using an open air truck for the tour. What we got instead was an old Chevy Suburban. We were a party of 3 and 2 of us had to sit in the back where we couldn't really see clearly and the windows did not go down. It was also hard to hear the tour guide from the back. I was very disappointed as this was not the vehicle that was listed in the description of the tour and getting in and out of the Suburban throughout the tour was quite challenging. I have read other reviews and someone else had this same issue in May. So buyer beware.
What an amazing experience!!. Tour guide was so knowledgeable and happy to share it with us. So much more than we expected.
If you want background & information about the valley as well as better photo opportunities a guided tour is the only way to go. We visited a family homestead & learned about beliefs & interpretation of their art. You get to restricted areas only available to tour buses. Our guide Derek was informative & obviously proud of his heritage. Highly recommended.
John was informative, talented and wonderful. hhhjhhhhhhhhjjhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaazsszSzzzszs
Navajo guide made the tour - you will learn a lot about the customs of the Navajo along with breathtaking views of the mesas and mountains and buttes.
Great tour! Guide was excellent. Gave a lot of insight on his heritage and information on the landscape.
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!
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.
