11/10 Amazing Wonderful Tour with Don
raevan23,May 28, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00AMAZING experience with Don Mose! We had a wonderful robust tour of Monument Valley with a true expert - a local who has lived the history and culture. Don was engaging, funny, and taught us everything about his people, the land, symbology, and even how to take perfect photos. He took us to special places within the Valley that you cannot access on your own, and we met some locals who live right in the valley and continue living the Navajo traditions. Our group of friends had the trip of a lifetime, and this was the penultimate experience. Don't hesitate, book this tour with Don; it will be the best decision you make!
Don is the best !

Unforgettable Monument Valley Sunset Tour with Shaye

5.00We had an incredible private sunset tour in Monument Valley with Shaye. He picked us up right at The View Hotel in a brand new Rivian, which made the experience even more comfortable and unique. Shaye was pleasant, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Having been raised locally, he shared authentic insights about the region, Navajo culture, history, and the valley itself that you simply would not get on a standard tour. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. One of the highlights was when Shaye played the flute for us at the Big Hogan — a beautiful and memorable moment that added something truly special to the evening. He also took fantastic photos of my wife and me throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Monument Valley and want a more personal, authentic, and unforgettable experience, I highly recommend Shaye and his sunset tour.
Great detail and...

5.00This was truly an unforgettable life experience tour. To say the least, the scenery was breathtaking. Don, our Denai tour guide was a gem, full of information, history, and anecdotes. He was very personable, genuine, and a really great, unforgettable guy.

5.00Not sure we have ever had such a wonderful experience as provided by this private tour. Don Mose was beyond exceptional and provided one of the most memorable journeys of our lives. not sure any words do it justice so my recommendation is to just book this with Don and it may change your life.

5.005 stars really isn't enough to represent how wonderful this tour with Don was. His knowledge and willingness to share it are amazing. We learned so much about the Dine people as well as enjoyed the natural wonders of monument valley. If the tour involved nothing more than spending 3.5 hours talking with Don it would be worth it. The natural wonders were icing on the cake.

1.00The tour guide reneged on the 9:00 AM contract I had. Very unreliable. I had to find someone on-site for same price. Awaiting my refund from my booking that did not happen! I don't think I will ever utilize Trip Advisor ever again!
