    A Nice Surprise

    Janet_D, Jul 2026
    I was a little hesitant to download an audio tour, having never done it before. I wasn’t sure exactly what I would get, or whether I would be able to stand, listening to the speakers voice. I also was worried that I wasn’t going to get much information as I drove through the scenic drive tour. Boy was, I surprised when everything turned out in the most excellent manner! The man’s voice was pleasant to listen to, and he gave very informative information about each stop on the scenic drive tour! The information wasn’t too long to listen to and everyone in the vehicle really enjoyed learning about monument valley! For 20 bucks, this was an excellent way to spend money and get a great tour without paying for a guided tour in the park!

    Budget Self Guided Tour

    Make sure to download tour onto your phone PRIOR to entering the park, where cell service may be spotty. App was easy to download and operate on an Iphone during our 17 mile self guided tour. Interesting facts and trivia were provided at each point of interest.

    A waste of time

    Kermit_B, Oct 2025
    I never could download our tour of Monument Valley. I could not use it. I attempted to download it several times and eventually gave up. It was a disappointment.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hi Kermit, sorry to hear about your experience. We always recommend downloading the app and taking a tour beforehand, as cell service can be spotty in Monument Valley. Our app works fully offline once downloaded, and our support team is always available to assist with setup issues. No worries — your purchase never expires so that you can use it anytime. If you’d prefer a replacement or refund, please reach out.
