This was a very special day and Sandrea was especially knowledgeable, timely and thoughtful regarding comfort. It was a pleasure to.

We had the absolute best time with Larry, who turned our day into an unforgettable experience. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but he shared every story with a spark that made the land come alive. We learned so much, laughed even more, and felt completely at ease every step of the way — he truly made the experience special. We also want to express our deep respect for the Indigenous land we explored and the people whose history, traditions, and stories continue to shape it. Being able to learn from and walk through this land with intention and gratitude made the day even more meaningful. Thank you, Larry, for guiding us with so much heart, wisdom, and good humor. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more beautiful experience.

We enjoyed the sites, and our guide Larry was amazing. So full of history and information on the area and the Navajo nation. Going “off the path” to get up close and personal was a treat!! Highly recommend this adventure to everyone!!

Travis was a great guide who helped personalize our experience. The music he played for us was a great unexpected addition to our tour. I would definitely recommend.

Sandrea was incredibly friendly and taught us the history and beliefs of her people whilst taking us to all the best photo opportunities. Can’t recommend enough!!

Do this tour!! Beauty every where you turn including arches and cool rock formations . Larry was an excellent guide and filled our tour with information about Navajo culture including how they interacted with other tribes and how they got their name. Larry played the flute while we immersed ourselves in the tranquility and beauty of a huge arch with a hole. He made the tour special.

It was informative, educational, and a lot of fun! Taking the tour was worth the cost and we were able to experience places we couldn’t have seen on the drive yourself route. Our guide Sandrea was excellent!

We drove a long ways to do this tour. Numerous jaw dropping sites with a knowledgeable tour guide made it so worth it!

Sandra did a wonderful job on my all day tour, sharing stories, information and warmth during our tour of Monument Valley and Mystery Valley. I did not know anything about Mystery Valley and was in awe as much as I was with Monument Valley. Both locals differ in their beauty and compliment each other for a great day!
