Loop Tour not worth your money
Ferrie_R
, Aug 2022
The format of the short 1.5 hour tour is enough to get through the highlights. I would however not recommend to book it via this tour operator - MV Dineh Bekeyah Tours. The cars that all operators use fit 4 persons per row with everybody having a seatbelt. This operator insisted on putting 15 persons on one car so 5 persons per row. The operator also didn't leave us any choice as he added 2 persons after the tour had already started. This had as a result that couples families and groups did not sit together on the same row to enjoy it together. What is more important - it's against the rules and not safe. I checked during the tour and none of the other operators had more than 4 persons per row. Another point to note is that the guide did not give any information about the history, geology, evolution etc. of the monument valley. How did the rock formations come to be what is particular about their current state etc. Information was purely limited to the meaning of the monument valley to the native American tribes - something not indicated before I booked the tour. All-in all it would have been better to just drive the loop by your own car and save the fees. Come to think of it - this is what I would recommend that anyone with their own transport do.

Love the Scenery but not much info!
Phyllis_P
, Aug 2022
At the beginning of our tour the driver said the speaker didn’t work. At that point he started our tour but did not give us any stories or information at each stop where we could see that other drivers were. I told him that I was disappointed that we didn’t have much information. So he started to say more to us. If he would take th time to fix the speakers before the trip starts it would do a lot more for our experience. Also, he could get better tips ($$).

Our tour guide Steven was a great guide. He had great insights on history and culture. He was very friendly, he really made the trip memorable. I am glad I did the tour instead of driving the loop by ourselves. Tour guides get to skip the line and they know all the details of the land. Thank you Steven
