5Definitely do this one
Great tour. Dorothy was an amazing guide, entertaining us with Navajo songs, prayers and history. Having a local guide is so worth it, as they are sharing their backyard. Just bring a bandana since it is a bit dusty, and hold your hat, as it will blow off.
5Amazing Monument Valley
Bumpy ride to remote areas of the valley. Well worth it! Picturesque with informative native stories and history.
5Excellent Trip
Really good trip. Despite the weather meaning that the booked Valley Tour could not run the tour company replaced it with a tour of Mystery Valley. Really good guide (Richard/Richie) who even treated us to a song and a tune on his flute. Lots of fun.

The tour was fun and the tour provider was very accomodating to our request for an earlier pickup but we were disappointed that we didn't get to see all the points - (which according to the guide were closed). I would have liked to know that before we embarked on the tour. Suggest that the guide discuss this before starting a tour. Our guide was talented and knowledgeable.
5Awesome trip
