Perfect and precise organization, very kind and helpful staff at check-in. Everything was on time. A modern and comfortable shuttle will take you to the entrance of the canyon. Our guide was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She explained how the canyon was formed and what happens throughout the year, adding historical stories and interesting facts. She took photos of us at all the most iconic locations. The canyon is wonderful, everything is perfectly maintained, and it's truly suitable for everyone, young and elderly, children and families. A fantastic experience, highly recommended.

This should be on everyone's bucket list. This tour was truly magical. To be able to walk through a canyon and see all the different sways of the rock and learn the history behind it by someone who really knows what they are talking about is wonderful. Our tour guide Mikaya was extraordinary. She went out of her way to ensure we took the best pictures and even took pictures of us when we asked. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and overall made our experience amazing. 10/10 service. I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone and everyone to do at least once.

Our tour guide, Alisa, was amazing! She provided details of how the canyons were formed, and what it meant to the Navajo people. She was also great with photo advice and showed us how to take some incredible pictures! Alisa was so proud of her people and that came across in her tour!

It was just magical! We had a tour at 12pm and it was the perfect time to go and see it. Tha ladder and steps made it more interesting than just walking straight. There were a lot of people, but the tour guides still made it memorable for us, allowing us to take pictures and enjoy the moment.

The mother of the company in her 70's guided our tour. Amazing how she was able to easily maneuver though the canyon. She was very wise in the Navajo culture. You could see she had a strong heart for her culture. My husband and I loved her stories. Loved that this company is small and family owned. We happened to have a private tour which was awesome. Becoming off season. We loved the vision hee daughter has for the company and that the matriarch only wants to hire guides that have they heart!! ❤️ of course the canyon was beautiful. I am an amateur photographer, so I was engrossed with all the designs on the rock. We even recommended Mysical to a German couple the next day while stopping at the Navajo National Museum Monument.
