“On our tour of Monument Valley, Will, our guide, gave us an unforgettable experience. Besides pointing out the iconic rock formations used in famous movies, Will treated us to non-typical places and shared the background knowledge of each. He was a wealth of knowledge, especially the way he intertwined the Navajo history, influence, religion, and culture. His stories about “water” and “DNA” were mesmerizing. Will also played a Navajo drum and sang for our tour group. It was a very special experience we would recommend highly.”

“Full experience on the monument valley park, the Navajo guide (Larry) drove us to each viewpoint, telling the hystory, the geology, the origin of Navajo people. We visited also a typical hogan, within the restricted areas of the park. The guide was kind to take beautiful pictures of us. Suggestion: the meeting point is on the right after the park toll entrance, next to the restrooms.”

“This was the perfect way for my husband and I to see many national parks and other natural sites in the Southwest. The group of 12 included two other couples, a darling family, and three women traveling solo. It was a fantastic mix of countries, ages, and backgrounds. While our tour guide, Joe, had a good heart and I think meant well, the literature said we would be accompanied by an “expert guide”. Joe was far from being an expert. He gave extremely little information while driving, mostly talking about himself and his experiences that were seldom related to our tour. What little information he did give was often incorrect.…”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
