My wife and I booked a 3 hour afternoon tour with Leander Stanley at De Chelly Tours.

It was an excellent cultural experience in addition to the visual experience of being in the... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of Canyon de Chelly with Leander Staley. He has 15 years of guide experience and comes from a family of guides that preceded him. He was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable enough to ask many questions about the Navajo culture and customs. I highly recommend him. More

My husband and I met up with good friends at The Thunderbird Lodge with the intent of hiring a guide to take us to Canyon de Chelly the following morning. Because the weather forecast seemed questionable, we chose not to book in advance. I'm not sure booking the morning of your tour is the best way to go, but it... More

We learned a tremendous amount about the ancient ruins, pictographs, rock formations and Navajo people. His family owns land in the canyon so it was great to get real first-hand information about what it was like to grow up in this beautiful part of... More

We took a three hour tour of the canyon with Leander Staley of the De Chelly Tours. It was awesome! Lee was very knowledgeable and shared all of the stories of the canyon. The tour was up close and personal with the canyon--so much better than just a drive around the rim. If I had know that it was going... More
