We were very lucky to be the only 2 people doing this tour, other operators had full vehicles, so we had a private tour. We had a very personal tour with our guide also showing us the Mystery Valley. The tour was listed as 2 1/2 hours, but we spent at least 3 hours among the outstanding scenery. Patrick happily... More

We opted for a tour of Mystery Valley and were not really sure what we were going to see. We met our guide, Patrick, in the hotel car park and were the only four people on the tour. Patrick was extremely knowledgable and friendly and took us out in a modified pick-up truck with about 12 seats and an overhead... More

Our tour of Monument Valley in the morning was absolutely marvelous! We booked a private sunrise tour the evening before May 21, 2011 for May 22, 2011 @ 5:00 a.m. with Blackwater Tours. It was kind of pricey at $176.80, but it was worth every penny. In the morning, our guide Patrick was there at 5:00 a.m. waiting for us... More

We did not book our tour until the day we arrived in Monument Valley. I had looked on trip before I went and decided to go with Navajo Spirit tours but I could not contact them. The only tour company I managed to get through to on the phone and they had same day availability were Blackwater. Now I was... More

Our tour guide was a nice guy but didn't give as much information about Monument Valley & Mystery Valley - in particular about local history, culture and customs. We choose Blackwater Tours because of the positive reviews on Trip Advisor but would not recommend if you'd like local info as well as the transport this company offers. More

We arranged a 3 hours sunrise photo tour with blackwater on 22nd may 2011 for the next day, start at 5.15 a.m. and payed 176 USD for 2 pax. We were at 5.15 a.m. at the meeting point and waited until 5.35. No one of blackwater tours appeared and we could nobody reach on the phone. Luckily there was an... More

I contacted several companies looking for an all day private tour for four that would not just be sitting in a vehicle all the time -- we wanted to do some walking. Unlike Canyon de Chelly, where an all day tour is all day, an all day tour in Monument Valley is 6 hours. The tours seem to be fairly... More

By going on a tour of Monument Valley we experienced so much more than we possibly could by self driving. Firstly, we were able to travel off the main roads as well as hearing stories that you wouldn’t get if you drove yourself. The sunrise tour seemed the best option for us – and it didn’t disappoint! The views were... More

My husband and 11 year old son did the half day tour. Our tour guide was Parick, a soft spoken and excellent tour guide. We loved riding in the outdoors in the back of his truck. Our son rode indoors with him and we could see them chatting. Patrick is young enough to get along with a child and also... More
