Monument Valley Extended Backcountry Tour

The guides here really shine, with Travis mentioned repeatedly for his deep knowledge of Navajo history and culture. Multiple visitors describe him playing traditional flute and sharing personal stories that transform the tour into something spiritually meaningful. Other guides like Carol, Dorothy, Marjorie, and Sandrea also earn praise for their warmth and expertise. The tours take you into backcountry areas inaccessible in private vehicles, including ancient petroglyphs and formations like the Ear of the Wind. The experience consistently exceeds expectations according to visitors, who describe it as extraordinary and worth the journey. Guides go beyond typical touring, teaching about traditions, language preservation, and Navajo customs while handling the rough terrain expertly. A couple reviewers mentioned office communication could be better and organization before departure felt disorganized, though they emphasize the actual tour more than made up for it. Bringing cash is recommended for purchasing handmade items at demonstration stops along the way.
