Monument Valley TribalTours is your answer to a full understanding of this striking and iconic landscape

It’s possible to “see” the Monument Valley independently, but to understand and appreciate the personal and spiritual significance of the landscape requires an informed and committed guide. Sandrea is exactly the key to that clarity. We enjoyed and benefitted from her informed and personal perspective of the deep and beautiful stories behind the spectacular landscape. We highly recommend her and Monument Valley Tribal Tours should you find yourself in the Navajo nation. She will even bless you with a Navajo song and prayer.

I would like to say that the tour was awesome and inspiring, our guide was Larry and his knowledge and history of the journey not to mention his sense of humor was a gift. I encourage anyone considering this tour to experience the sights, sounds and history. Thanks

Unbelievable I didn’t have to drive my vehicle and I felt very safe and we were out in the open. It was really nice.

Larry was the best Guide. He explained everything we saw and made sure that we understood one place we stopped. He played his flute, which was very moving.
