Travis was our Navajo guide and he was absolutely excellent. We had the best time and saw places that we could have not seen on our own if we just drove the 17 miles loop. I recommend this highly and hope that you get Travis, he is also an enchanting musician.

It was as advertised. So I was exceptionally pleased with the tour. It was a full 3.5 hour experience. I really feel that I got a great exposure to Monument Valley. Larry our guide offered a great deal of interesting and pertinent information as well as many ideas for great photography.
