What a terrific tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

We just loved this trip! We had a great guide, Reginald, from whom we learned so much about the region and about the people who have lived here over the years. If you're lucky, Reginald will play his flute for you and show you how the throw arrow works!! I had been apprehensive about visiting the canyon after reading about bad experiences that a few prior visitors had with other tour groups. But we were in such good hands with Canyon de Chelly Tours! The tour vehicle was in excellent condition, and Reginald's driving skills were outstanding. We have been on tours in a lot of special places around the world, including Petra in Jordan, Teotihuacan, and Egypt, and this tour definitely was on par with the best of those. Thanks to Tanya and Reginald for making this such a memorable experience!

Cannot recommend more highly!

My family of 4 did a 5 hour hike with Delvonnia and this was one of the best tour experiences we've ever had. Delvonnia was incredibly knowledgeable and shared with us about her childhood in the canyon, stories about her family, information about plants and the Navajo language and culture. The weather was pleasant during late December, and we felt it was a good time to visit, without as many tourists as peak season. This was an invaluable experience, learning about the Navajo way of life and broadening our understanding of this vast nation. Truly, more than we'd hoped for.

Amazing experience!

Irene was amazing!!! She was able to share so much information about the history of the canyon and her personal experiences growing up in the canyon! She spoke Navajo to us and was enjoyable to talk to! When you go, be sure to book with this company.

A must-do to make the visit memorable!

We took this tour on Christmas Day and will remember it for the rest of our lives for multiple reasons. Our family of four, which included 10-year-old twins, was just amazed at the ingenuity, persistence, and history of the native Americans. Our tour guide, Rejinald Etsitty, picked us up at Holiday Inn. He was right on time, but we were not ready. He was patient and made a point to give us extra time to make up for it. During the tour, he shared the stories that have been shared over generations, pointed out pictographs, told us about the land and how it has changed, and more. His knowledge, humility, and ability to connect different subjects made this trip memorable. He played tunes on his flute and made a point to do enjoyable activities for the children. He was patient, and we did not feel rushed, even though our tour took an additional half an hour. I highly recommend visiting this canyon and making a point to learn about it.

Great Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

The canyon is amazing, our guide did a great job, but we had a very bad experience meeting the guide. The Viator app said to meet at the Thunderbird Lodge, and we were there at the appointed time, but the lodge clerks told us the local trip companies were never allowed to meet their clients at the lodge. We were sent by them to an empty parking lot, and then we went tot he visitor center to ask if they could tell us where to go.... 20 minutes later we eventuarly met our guide. she was kind enough to give us the full time on the tour, but we were pretty stressed out by then. Viator should have provided accurate instructions.
