Dineh Bekeyah Tours, Monument Valley

My family and I had one of the best experience of our lives ! Joseph, our guide, was so kind and knowledgeable and made the whole experience perfect. We got to explore the part of the loop drive accessible to everybody with a car (so it’s good if you wanted to do it but aren’t sure about going with your own car / doable but bumpy and you have to be extra careful), but mostly we were in the restricted areas and the back country. We paid for the 2,5 hour tour but were put on the 3,5 hour one. It was so nice of them and time flew by so we are so grateful for it ! The highlights were : - seeing wild horses (including a couple of days old baby) ; - visiting a traditional Hogan and getting my hair done in a traditional bun by the most lovely lady (sadly I cannot remember her name but I will never forget her) ; - seeing arches (that you cannot see on your own on the loop drive) and laying down on the rock to listen to Joe singing a traditional celebration Navajo song ; - having our picture taken by Joe who showed us all the tricks for cool pictures on our phones ; - and of course learning more about the Native American people and their culture is beyond interesting ! After coming twice to Monument Valley before, it felt way more genuine to get to see more of this amazing place. I had already done the loop drive with my own car before and even though the scenery is already great on its own, having a local guide is a game changer. I have no words to express how much I love Monument Valley and the Navajo people and their culture, and Dineh Bekeyah Tours (Joe) did a great job at making me love it even more ! We will be back for the overnight tour and cannot wait ! Thank you Joe !

We started with the Sunrise Tour on a cold, dark Nov morn with Harry. Coffee hadn't kicked in yet for all of us but as the temp warmed up, so did 3 of us. Harry turned out to be not just our guide but historian, musician, & photography guru! Laying down on redrock watching the blue sky through the peephole of the Big Hogan arch, with my bare feet stuck in the sand as he flute serenaded us, was a soothing experience. I think this tour was brought to life more by Harry. He brought soul to it by sharing his knowledge of the land, his music, and his art. It was so good that my friend and I booked an instant Mystery Valley tour for the same day and that was even better! We got to satisfy our inner Indiana Jones by exploring more of the heart of the Valley where the petroglyphs and ancient ruins were explained in detail. Got to climb to some of them and bask in the wonder of their past. Charlene made the arrangements easy with everything on schedule and service above par. Highly recommend this tour operator! :-) There is so much to see, do, and feel here that pictures do not do the place justice.
