Bumpy Ride to Eternity

It was my husband’s birthday, he’d always wanted to see Monument Valley, so I surprised him with this trip. The back country tour was excellent, many up close and personal visits with the rocks. Our guide, Larry Team, had many stories to entertain us along the way. He was patient and friendly, we enjoyed his company. I won’t tell you the best experience we had, it’ll be a surprise for you when you go. “Hogan Arch” It was wonderful and well worth the bumpy ride. Hubs had a blast and proclaimed it best birthday ever.
Awesome Monument Valley experience.

Our tour guide, Larry Team, really made the trip worthwhile. His knowledge of the Navajo nation and the Monument Valley area brought the experience to life. He told fantastic stories about all the rock formations, as well as interesting stories of his family history. You must book a tour to really appreciate the beauty and history of the valley. If you drive the route yourself, you'll miss out on so much information - it will not be the same. If you get Larry Team as your guide, you'll have a wonderful experience.
Backcountry tour with Larry is a must!

Navajo landscape
Being able to see the Navajo lands and learn their history.
The weather was bad for my trip and a guide was not well prepared.
The riding was very rough w/o seatbelt. It should had a pre-depature safety check and it must be a regiment.
Response from Host , Oct 2021

Our tour through the back country of Monument Valley was phenomenal. The rock formations are undeniably magnificent, but the cultural history of the Navajo people is what really brings the landscape to life. Our tour guide, Larry Team, was knowledgeable, insightful, and genuine. He beautifully wove together the geological history, the cultural history, and perhaps the most enriching - his personal experiences and narrative as a Navajo. It is because of Larry that the tour was not just great, but outstanding.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
