Travis was our guide on our backcountry tour and he was just the coolest. He shared so many stories and cultural information that we really felt his love and passion for his tribe and the land they live on. He was warm and friendly and I just loved his whole vibe. We were honored to hear him play the flute and provide us with a blessing. I got emotional through the blessing and felt such amazing energy from him. He is a special man. Thank you for a touching tour that left us better than how we arrived. read more

Had an amazing tour with our guide, Marjorie. We started at 5:30AM and watched the sun rise through the park. Then continued on to areas others can't go unless booked through a tour company. She even played us some beats on her drum. Loved that! Finished the tour just as the crowd was coming into the park. read more

This entire experience was top-notch. We debated just driving the scenic route ourselves, but this was a much better way to enjoy this spectacular area. Larry was our guide and he did a fantastic job of telling us about the various monuments, the culture and history of the area, and even helped take pictures of us around the monuments. Going on a guided tour got us into the backcountry area that is not part of the regular scenic trail. The trail is very rough in some spots and had very deep sand in many spots. I was thankful that we weren't navigating the trail in our own vehicle and could just sit back and enjoy the incredible beauty and peace of the area. Well worth the cost. read more

We had a great backcountry Monument Valley tour with Cheryl and Duffy for our private group. We had a fun ride off road in their outfitted trucks. The tour lasted 2 1/2 hours and we felt well taken care of. Never rushed and the views were beautiful. Listening to Duffy playing his flute and Cheryl signing were highlights of the trip. We learned so much about the Navajo people and their rich history. I highly recommend this trip and request Cheryl as your guide. read more

This was an incredible experience! Travis was our guide and we now know we had the best! He shared so much information and history about The Navajo Nation and the various tribes, I felt we came away really learning something. We were able to see so much including the restricted areas - absolutely stunning sights. Travis was so personable and engaging, we really enjoyed talking with him. We also had the pleasure of a couple of flute performances and one accompanied by guitar. Beautiful music and the meaning behind it so touching. I highly recommend this tour - be sure to ask for Travis!! read more

Really great tour. We got to go to places that only the Navajo guides can take us. I enjoyed learning about Monument Valley and the history/culture of the Navajo people. Our guide was great and gave us some good photo tips! read more

We had such a great time on our tour! Monument Valley is a magical place and our guide, Comasheena, made it even more special with her knowledge and insight. She even went above and beyond holding our little dogs so both of us could walk around various site. The whole event was exceptional. read more

This tour surpassed all our expectations. Our guide Travis was highly educated, very articulate and knowledgeable about the area, the history and the culture. Great storyteller as he was, he told us amazing stories of Navajo history, and stories behind the pictographs. I especially enjoyed his personal stories, about his dad, who was an educator and wrote many books on Navajo history. Travis is a brilliant and passionate musician. He played mesmerizing tunes in flute. In the very end, he talked about his musician brother who passed away. He performed a beautiful song and dance to express his grief. It was an amazing spiritual experience. He is an exceptional human being. I am grateful that he was our guide. I strongly recommend this tour with Travis as your guide. read more

Great tour guide, great views, what an awesome experience. Got a little cold at sunset so prepare accordingly

Nobody picks up the phone to answer questions. Tour definitely not worth it. A few "monuments" that don't show the scope one expects.

Marjorie picked us up at the KOA at 5:30 am right on time. After one more pickup location, we were off to explore the monuments in the emerging light of sunrise. Marjorie was a fantastic tour guide, injecting just the right amount of history, geology, and humor in the tour. Since it was cold, we were in a van instead of open air jeep which was appreciated. Since this was an extended tour, we went into the backcountry and also experienced some local Navajo culture/history. Highly recommend this tour! read more

We took this amazing tour with Larry, and felt very fortunate that we did. I've wanted to see Monument Valley since I was a child watching John Ford Westerns. I grew up to teach film, with a special interest in how Hollywood depicted Indigenous people and the history of conquest and its ideology. So this was a pilgrimage, and we were very lucky to see everything with a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and open-hearted guide who was willing to share with us the perspectives of his Diné/Navaho heritage. (I was a little concerned about riding all day in an open coach and trekking through desert--but it was a very easy day for me at 72, with a slight limp.) Larry's enthusiasm for the geological and cultural history of the area made the tour not only informative but breath-takingly vivid. The Valley is full of wonders but I'd never be able to appreciate them without a Native guide: we saw ancient pictographs up close, learned the traditions around the geological formations, scrambled up hills to prehistoric dwellings, and met local artisans and their lovely families. Larry shared with us his music and language. I will want to come back to this amazing place. read more

Spectacular 3 hour tour that was supposed to be a 2 hour tour. Could have spent all day out there, it was a life changing experience and photos I shot are are so good people think they're fake. Our guide couldn't have been more pleasurable. We debated driving our own car but the tour gets you into back country you wouldn't otherwise see. Bonus was entering a hogan for a philosophical Navajo perspective given to us by an elder native. Can't recommend the tour highly enough. read more

We truly enjoyed our visit to the Monument Valley today. Based on our experience, we highly recommend the Monument Valley Tribal Tour and the best way is to go for the Backcountry tour. Larry was our guide. He has shown professionalism and is knowledgeable. He is also an amazing storyteller. He shared stories passed down from his grandparents. He explained the Navajo traditions, culture, and way of life. We learned a lot from him. We enjoyed watching him play his drum and sung a Navajo song. He even helped us in taking photos of us so we can capture our memorable experience here in Monument Valley. The backcountry is beautiful but can be difficult to navigate even if you have your own vehicle. In my opinion visitors need a 4WD in order to drive along the regular 17-mile route, and obviously the backcountry. Some parts of the regular 17-mile route even need an advanced level off-roading driving skill. I saw a guy with a small SUV hesitating to take a downhill steep slope at the beginning of the 17- mile route. A lot of people own an SUV but never really go off-roading so they are not used to the terrain in Monument Valley. Take the Tribal Tour and have fun! read more

This was the best tour ever! We went deep into the Valley and were blown away by the scenery. Our guide Bruce was funny, easygoing, and knowledgeable.

During a recent visit to Monument Valley, my husband and I booked a tour with Tribal Tours to visit Mystery Valley. We ended up with a private tour, since we were the only two to book that day. Our guide, Larry, did a great job. He had lots of information to share about the history of the area and even took a couple of nice pictures of the two of us. read more

One of the best tours we have done. It was interesting and beautiful. Absolutely amazing. Our guide Comasheena was excellent! Well versed in the history, she shared some of her native language and did an oerall excellent job! She was also very fun to be with. The hogan that we were taken to, was a terrific experience, the woman that lived there was wonderful and shared so much with us. I would highly recommend this tour company and to specifically ask for Comasheena. read more

We had a great tour of Monument Valley with our tour guide, Trevor. Such a wonderful land to explore, and when we were there (early May) the road was restricted to 4x4's which our rental was not. So the only way to see it was via guided tour. The tours seem to take a different route than the cars, so you aren't battling the roads with cars. We were in an open air vehicle that could seat 12 or so, but they spread us out between vehicles, with each carrying only around 6 which was very nice. And it wasn't particularly dusty, but the temperature jumped around a lot, so a light jacket was great. read more

We really did have a great tour - Jameson is so knowledgeable about the area and his heritage. He is also very talented which he showed by playing his double flute. Very nice young man, you're gonna miss him when he gets his electrical degree - which we all encouraged him to do and to get back to school LOL. Thank you for making sure this was taken care of - really had a great time and I was so happy I FINALLY got to get a picture in front of the "mitts", been wanting that for ages now. Oh, and Jameson has quite the eye for photography, time and time again I gave him my iPhone so HE could take the picture. Thank you for a memorable trip through Monument Valley. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful time touring with Monument Valley Tribal Tours. Our tour guide, Larry Team, was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of our random questions. Even if you have a 4x4, I would recommend doing a tour with a guide so that you get to learn some of the history and culture of Monument Valley. Of course, the views and scenery are spectacular. The vehicle was comfortable enough, but be sure to look at the weather and bundle up as needed. We had brief rain showers and overcast skies (early October), but we're dressed for it, plus he gave us ponchos to wear. The overcast skies also gave us some nice, soft lighting and colors. read more

Hubby and I capped off a four-day New Year's trip to the Four Corners with a "sunset" three-hour tour of Monument Valley, which was more than capably led by Larry of Monument Valley Tribal Tours! Even though hubster and I have both worked for some American Indian tribes, there is always something new to learn, and boy, did we learn a lot about Monument Valley and the peoples who have populated it since time immemorial! Larry was so knowledgeable and talked about the geology of how the incredible stone "monuments" (carved by God, underground volcanic activity, wind, sand and water) came to be in this very sacred place. He also was super handy with a camera taking some beautiful pictures reflected in water and in panoramic style. He even took us on some roads and dirt paths that were for Navajo guides and their passengers only! We got to go inside a hogan where a woman was carding wool and spinning it to work on a woven rug her late grandmother had started. He shared about how the peoples' names Anasazi ("short enemy") and Navajo came to be (as with many names, given to people by their enemies and/or mashups/shortenings of actual words). He also answered any questions we asked including personal ones about his own life. He really took his time with us and did not appear to be in any huge rush to get back to headquarters. I hope we can someday return to Monument Valley and get him as our guide once more! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Larry, even if there was no sunset to see due to the cloud cover! Ha ha! read more

We took the Valley of the Gods tour. It was scheduled for 2 1/2 hours, but our tour lasted 3 1/2 hours. Marjorie showed us all the monument formations and their names. She gave us a demonstration of how to make Navajo footwear and a baby carrier. She explained the rituals involved in childbirth for Navajos. We toured Goosenecks State Park. What a beautiful area. Marjorie is a real trooper. Highly recommended. Thank you! read more

We visited in Early May 2023. We experienced the Back Country Tour with Larry Team as our guide. He was an excellent guide relating historic information about the Valley's history and modern development and cultural stories about the Navajo who live there. He sang songs for us at several of the stops which added to the experience, making it more real for us. We stopped to visit a local Weaver who shared stories about weaving, basketry, local lore and her experience growing up and living in the Valley. He gave us ample time for photos and to simply soak in the Valley and the experience. Truly a memorable tour with and excellent guide! We also took the Mystery Valley Tour with Marjory as our tour guide. She skillfully navigated the dusty roads while relating stories of living and working in the Valley. We saw several caves, archeological sites and Petroglyphs. We Highly Recommend both Marjory, Larry and Monument Valley Tribal Tours! read more

Great tour. Our guide was Marjory and she is the best. Funny and she knows all about Monument Valley. Brilliant experience!

The sunrise tour was spectacular!! Our guide Reever really knows where the best views of the sun coming up are. He had us exit the truck and walk up a little hill so that we could see the monuments as the sun rose and really lit them up. While at big hogan he played the flute for us and the echo inside was magical. The sharing of his culture and past were also a great part of the experience. Thanks again Reever!! read more

We loved our tour of Monument Valley with Tribal Tours. Our tour guide, Reever, was very informative and knowledgeable. He taught us about the history and culture of the area as well as the geography and geology. We rode around Monument Valley in an open 4x4 truck. The scenery is truly stunning and unique. We took the 3 hour sunset tour which stopped at all of the popular landmarks and brought us to the back country as well which is off limits except to the trained tour guides. We recommend taking a tour with Monument Valley Tribal Tours. read more
