I chose to visit Navajo Spirit Tours in my 60th year, fulfilling a dream I've had since…read morechildhood--and it exceeded every expectation. This was truly the tour of a lifetime. Our guide, Shawn Holiday, was simply the best of the best. His knowledge of history and geology brought the land to life in a way I'll never forget. He didn't just guide us--he immersed us in the experience. From sharing stories and cultural insights to playing the flute in the canyon, every moment felt meaningful and authentic. Shawn also had an incredible eye for photography. He took us to breathtaking locations and helped capture some of the most unforgettable photos our family will ever have. Traveling with my wife and two daughters, I couldn't have asked for a better guide--he was thoughtful, polite, and deeply respectful as he shared Navajo customs and traditions with us. The beauty of this place is beyond words--you truly have to see it to believe it. Being there also gave me a deeper appreciation for the rich history of the Indigenous people who lived in harmony with this land, trading far and wide and honoring nature as one. That spirit is still present, and it's something that deserves respect and recognition. I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced this tour with Shawn. It's something I will carry with me forever. I hope to see continued opportunities and prosperity for the Navajo people in the future--they are the true stewards of this land, and their culture is something the world can learn so much from. If you're considering this tour--don't hesitate. It's unforgettable.

Navajo Spirit Tours offers absolutely top-notch tours of Monument Valley. Our tour guide, Mr. Will…read moreCowboy, was much more than a guide; he's a Navajo cultural educator, historian, excellent navigator of deeply rutted dirt roads, and patient answerer of questions. Not only that, he's a musician; he sang a Navajo song to us to wish us a safe journey while we were in the "Big Hogan" (a large ampitheater size space created by natural erosion and with great acoustics). His passion for his people and his culture truly left a mark on our consciousness that will never be forgotten. Of course, the scenery was also truly stunning. The driving itself was extremely bumpy but I'd say it's like getting an amusement park ride thrown in for free. We were also treated to a demonstration of Navajo arts and crafts by Loretta in her hogan, truly a special moment. Taking a Navajo Spirit tour couldn't be easier and the staff was very responsive to my questions about booking. This is a must-see activity if you're in the area. I can't wait to go back.

Monument Valley absolutely lives up to the hype. Towering red sandstone buttes rise from the desert floor, creating one of the most iconic landscapes in the American Southwest. The vast open spaces, dramatic silhouettes, rich Navajo history, and ever-changing light make this a place that's impossible to capture fully in a photo--apparently the rocks know how to work a camera better than I do. It was easy to understand why this incredible landscape has been featured in so many classic Westerns, road trips, and sweeping desert scenes. Every turn looked like a postcard, every angle looked familiar, and every view somehow still felt larger than life. A truly unforgettable stop. Note: There's a fee to get in the park, and then another fee to do the scenic drive. The road was very rough in some places, but so worth the views

There is only one pit stop with bathroom facilities so don't over hydrate before you get on the bus. LOL It is a very bumpy and very dusty ride. The tour guide spoke to us throughout the ride and was very personable and informative. We made several stops for photos and some of these had local Navajo venders selling hand made jewelry and crafts. One stop was at a Navajo Hogan. A Native American lady was inside and went over how to weave from raw wool to make clothes, rugs, etc... She also wanted over their native culture past and present. Overall I feel the tour was worth the money and we had a good time.

We enjoyed tremendous views of Monument Valley as well as interesting and thoughtful stories and explanations of how this area holds deep meaning to the Navajo. Our group was small, and our leaders were patient, funny, and helpful for those of us with next to no horseback riding experience. My husband, who can be difficult to impress, was awestruck by the views and the perspective that comes only with being on a trail, not in a vehicle. If you go, bring a full water bottle and cash for tipping, plus remember to wear your sunscreen and a hat. Special thanks also to Mack and Sideburns, our trusty steeds! We had a little trouble locating the starting point at the stables -- we thought we were supposed to park in the Navajo Visitor Center parking lot and check in at the tour booth at the far end of the parking lot. Turns out that tour booth is for vehicle tours. The folks there advised us to drive down a short gravel road next to the visitor center and park next to the stables that we could see in the distance. Easy enough, but this could have been clearer in the directions; a simple map or drawing would have been very helpful. We also didn't realize we'd have to pay a $10 per person entry fee to the Visitor Center parking lot before even getting to the stables. Maybe that was mentioned in the instructions and I just missed it? Either way, not a deal-breaker for us.

The horses were given no break - not even a water break, before we were put on the same horses and started our 1-hour tour. The horses we rode walked slowly and appeared tired and dehydrated. We did not see any water in the horses' enclosure. We also noticed that the horses had no shelter from the sun or rain inside the fence area where they were kept. Otherwise, the horses seemed OK, they were fed and our guide was OK. I would have given Sacred Monument Tours better rating if I had observed that the horses had access to water and were given a break between rides before a new group of people went out.

However, our tour guide, Larry, took the 3 of us in his 4x4 SUV. It was our own private tour. Larry did an exceptional job explaining everything about the monuments and the Navajo tribe. He occasionally stopped to allow us to take pics and even took pics for us, including panoramic pics. We stopped at a place where we bought authentic Navajo fry bread with butter and honey. It was delicious and much bigger than we imagined. I would recommend this tour and our guide, Larry. If we had more time, we would've taken the extended tour.

Frank talked not just about the landscape and scenery, but the history about the Diné people and how they come to the area in the first place. We toured arches, petroglyphs and pictographs made by the people who lived in this area before. Frank was very sweet and personable and shared stories from his grandparents and family about their history and religion. I highly recommend this tour and Frank especially!

And an outdoor kitchen, which had photos of famous singers and nice flowers hanging. Aaron's dogs and horse were also friendly and great to hang out with. The stars were beautiful and bright, and the sunrise over the monuments was lovely. Tipi Village is located right next to Monument Valley, just across the state line in Utah.

I am a Utah native now living back east and have visited all of the Big Five but never Monument Valley. I have wanted to visit for many years and finally did it. Our guide was Tony he raised broken-field driving to a new level. The drive up and back to and back from the mesa was an experience my son and I will never forget, as I'm sure anybody who has done it will agree. Once we were on-site at the mesa, Tony dropped us off at sunset point and came back later to take us to the campsite. He then prepared a great dinner and regaled us with stories of Navajo culture and legends. The next morning, he walked us the sunrise point for more photographs. As we are both photographers, everything about Monument Valley was astounding but Hunt's Mesa is in a class by itself. We have never seen such incredible landscapes and hopefully captured it with our cameras. Tony was a major element in the success of this trip; he has professional, competent, knowledgeable and friendly. We believe he went out of his way to show us his home. We cannot say enough good things about him and highly recommend Monument Valley Safari!
