Traveler Reviews

    I enjoyed the tour very much. My tour guide J.R. who worked on some the motion pictures filmed at Monument Valley, told great entertaining stories abut his experiences. I was picked up at my hotel on time in clean, comfortable van. J.R. was a very good driver and gave us info facts as we traveled. After a great meal, we went into the park, only an indigenous person could guide us through there. Our guide was “Larry”, a member of the Navajo tribe. Larry was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of his people. For the entire trip, I had the “I can’t believe I finally made it here”, feeling since I had been trying to get there for many years, and it did not disappoint. I would personally thank the tour, J.R., Larry, and the two people I traveled with, for making this a trip of a lifetime. The value was good for me, even though I would have spent more, but if you are a fan of classic cinema, especially westerns, it is a must see place.

    I actually took this tour in June 2018, however due to travelling all over the world for the last 18 months, I am just in the process of writing all the reviews. What a fantastic day I had exploring Monument Valley. A few days previous to my tour, I received word from the tour company I’d booked with that the tour wasn’t running which send me in a massive frenzy trying to find a tour guide with availability. Luckily a very kind tour guide from Great Venture managed to get me on one of the buses! I booked with Great Ventures but my tour guide was from Red Stone Tours and when I had rang Red Stone Tours, they told me they had no availability which is very strange. It’s a long day trip; it was almost 11 hours from Flagstaff start to finish. I was picked up at 7:30 and we journeyed to Utah. Everyone else in the bus had come from Sedona which is an even longer journey. Our tour guide JR was fantastic! He actually drives for the movie business so he’s chauffeured huge celebs including Stephen Spielberg, he’s dog-sat Jodi Forster’s dog on location and he’s even been an extra in a few movies; most famously he shovelled horse manure in Back to the Future Part III! About an hour into the journey, we stopped at a rest stop/gift shop owned by the Native Americans. The entire area from Flagstaff to Monument Valley and beyond is Navajo Nation territory. We arrived at Goulding’s Lodge at about 10:45. This was our lunch stop only about 4 miles from the Valley. I thought we would have packed lunch consisting of sandwiches and crisps for lunch but instead we went into the restaurant and ordered whatever we wanted – the tour company pays for it all! After lunch and a look around the museum at the hotel/restaurant, we headed into Monument Valley. We were in the valley itself for about 2.5 hours. We drove the dirt road which is the exact road taken in Stagecoach. JR had some props with him to create some pretty interesting shots. We encountered some dust devils along the way which had to be one of the highlights for me because dust devils are dust tornadoes! We stopped at John Ford’s Point which is the iconic rock ledge featured in The Searchers. There’s actually a horse called John Wayne’s Spirit and you can pay to ride him out on the ledge; unfortunately the people who do the rides weren’t there when we were. For me though, the best moment was walking out to the open desert. It was just breath taking how real and beautiful it was! Nowhere in the world can you see this and you could honestly just stand there for hours and get lost in that view, it was spectacular. This is definitely one of the best tours I’ve ever been on!

    Our guide Steve was excellent...a wealth of information. Monument Valley is unique, and well worth the trip.

    We drove to Flagstaff from Williams to meet the bus at 7.30am. Weather was cold and wet! We met up with JR and 6 other people and started the long journey to Monument Valley. JR gave an informative talk about the history, geology and the film use of the area. There were frequency stops for refreshments etc. And we finally arrived at Monument Valley around lunchtime. Lunch was provided at the restaurant within the visitors centre, and as a group, we decided to eat before the off road trip around the valley. The menu was well received and the food was excellent. Monument Valley only sees about 3 inches of rain a year, but had seen about 2 inches that morning. There was quite a lot of standing water in the valley and some of the roads were flooded. JR took us to a number of sites for photo opportunities and explained where various films were made within the valley. We spent about 2 hours driving around the valley road before we started the long drive back to Flagstaff. We finally arrived back about 7pm and then had the 40 minute drive back to Williams. However, we both felt that this was the best place that we visited in Arizona, and was well worth the time and money. JR was an excellent guide, and was able to entertain the bus from begging to end of the journey.

    We had a wonderful time. Our guide Steve made it a very enjoyable day. He was a vast wealth on many different subjects and we enjoyed listening to him. He was very accommodating and made sure all the group had a memorable experience. He made it a great experience.
