Itinerary

Meet a driver at your Sedona hotel for morning departure, then board a comfortable vehicle for the 204-mile (328-kilometer) trip to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The route to the park is a scenic highlight in itself, and you’ll pass through Oak Creek Canyon and the Painted Desert on your way to Navajo Nation.

Pause at the historic Cameron Trading Post, where Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni artists display their work—this is the perfect place to shop for unique souvenirs.

As you travel into the Navajo Nation, you’ll see hogans along the way, the low-roofed traditional dwellings of the Navajo people. Upon arrival at Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, pause for lunch at The View Restaurant, where tall windows make the most of gorgeous desert vistas.

After lunch, continue farther into the park to explore Monument Valley geology and history, with frequent stops to stretch your legs and walk around. Many of the most famous rock formations in Monument Valley line “The Loop,” a 17-mile (23-kilometer) road that winds through the park. As you drive, the guide will share stories about Navajo culture and people, pointing out named rock formations at the edge of the road.

Following your time in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, begin the return trip to Sedona, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.

A great trip but it was very long. From the time we were picked up to the time we were dropped off was over 13 hours. Monument Valley was great. It is iconic from the days of cowboy westerns.

Bummer!

Richard_L, Oct 2024
The ride to and from Monument Valley was ok. The food stop was mediocre. The monument tour, although the geology was spectacular, was most uncomfortable. We transferred to a very old "rez" van with little suspension, little air conditioning and no stool for stepping up or down. It aggravated a sciatica condition so severely that my wife could no longer get in and out of theban at stops. For the price of the tour this van should have been in better condition.

Bucket list trip!

Ruth_P, Sep 2024
From beginning to end it was wonderful, although be prepared for a bumpy ride at the monument valley.

Highly recommended. JWF

My trip of a lifetime

Talking to our guide into the valley & of course the monuments, as I have wanted to see this since childhood watching all of the westerns.

John_M, Feb 2024
The part in Monument Valley (1.5 hours) was outstanding. The driver was poor, almost no lunch, talked a lot about himself, gave unsolicited opinions.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Valued Guest, We have already responded to your comments directly. I am guessing this review is not without agenda. Since our last communication: we spoke with the guide regarding the dynamic between you and your traveling companion which was difficult to overcome. The guide requested you move closer to the front of the van so that you might hear him better, you declined. We operated this tour specifically for your group as it did not meet the tour minimum. Clearly, our good intention went awry and we have learned that future guests will be impacted negatively by your less than comprehensive review.

Fantastic day!! One of the best tours I have taken in AZ.

dawn_n, Sep 2022
This tour was amazing! Our guide, Stanton, did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable and I learned so much on this tour. The scenery was unreal and Stanton made sure we were never rushed. I would highly recommend taking this tour.

No tour.No enough people and I had change foo other tour where I had been before(Grand Canyon)

JosFrancisco_P, May 2022
No tour. You canceled and I had to change for Grand Canyon tour.I had been in Grand Canyon before, but never in Monumental Valley

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Guest, You were advised that this Specialty Tour required a minimum number of passengers to operate. When the minimum was not met, we offered you another tour to fill your day and you choose to go on our Grand Canyon Tour in lieu of a refund which we also offered. A One Star Review on a tour that you did not participate in is not valid nor warranted.

A brilliant experience

Mark_R, Sep 2019
Monument Valley is extraordinary and beautiful so the tour was never going to disappoint but the slick organisation, knowledge and comfort provided by Viator/Angel added to the day. Very good.

Monument Valley Tour

Rene_L, Aug 2018
Our tour began at 6:15 a.m and ended at our hotel at about 7:00 p.m. and although it entailed a lot of driving time, it seemed much shorter. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and its history. The several breaks taken on each leg made the time pass quickly. Our only disappointment was not under your control, it was the smoke and haze from fires in the area. The lunch was more than the picnic meal we expected, the dining and menu at The View was very good. Glad we did it!
