I enjoyed my experience and was overall impressed with what was offered. Our tour guide was Cody and he was fun and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of great anecdotes and I felt safe driving on the offroad when he was driving the truck. Along the way, we observed many vehicles being stopped or having trouble doing the offroading/scenic route. I suggest you only drive the offroad route in Monument Valley if you have a reliable vehicle and know which gears to change to. Cody took us to various view points and gave us time to get out and take photos. Overall, an amazing experience and my husband and I were all smiles the whole tour. Here are some tips:
- Depending on the time of the year you go, please bring a eye protection, an N95 mask or a rag to cover your face from the dust/dirt from wind.
- Bring water! At least two water bottles, as it is a four hour tour.
- Bring water/soap to wash your hands or hand sanitizer/wipes. This is what you need before you eat at night. Also when you break for restrooms, you'll want to wash your hands after using as there is no running water.
- I highly suggest bringing cash (small bills for tipping or just to buy a picture with a horse at John Wayne's point).
Other than that, make sure your phone is charged for some amazing photos! The entertainment at night was fun. Cody got dressed and danced for us as others sang.
The Navajo Tacos were delicious! The meat tastes like it's fresh, so it's on the tougher than normal side but is very deliciously seasoned! Bring some good utensils if you want to cut through the meat with ease. We went in October, so it was cold at night. I suggest bringing an extra jacket just in case. The weather is extremely unpredictable so be prepared. We were there and it was sunny during our tour but the next day it rained a lot.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and my husband and I were so grateful to learn about the culture of the Navajo. Thank you Simpson's Trailhandler Tours for the opportunity!
