Would not recommend Gouldings tour
This Gouldings deluxe tour was terrible with Helen. First of all she was 20 minutes late to pick us up. We didnt even do the full 17 mile loop of the Monuments. VERY disappointing considering this was our only chance to tour them as we were leaving the next morning. Be warned!!! She took us to a Hogan where we spent over a half hour of "OUR" paid time listening to a woman speak in the hogan then mention tips are welcome with a tip jar. So not only did we waste time there, we also spent a considerable amount of time at the John Ford point where vendors and a food truck were. We spent a large amount of time waiting while she complained with other employees there. We paid to take a guided tour of the monuments!! Then she showed us some "petroglyphs" that I highly doubt are even authentic as someone else wrote on the same monument "John". When a tourist asked "Helen" how old the petroglyphs were, she stated "probably very old, older than when you were born". Are you kidding me? She knew nothing! She spent time taking pictures with her own phone. Doesn't she see this everyday?? Then while she was in the driver seat she was telling us what she "saw" in the "rocks". Not the names of the Monuments, no history, nothing! She did go on and on about her niece who was told not to build her house up but didn't listen and did it anyway. Then complained about the US Government is so wrong and that they can never succeed because of the Govt. We do not need to hear this while on a tour. She also complained about someone driving quickly by and said "tourists act like that and don't respect our land". We felt like we were being lectured the whole time. The tour was "see that looks like snoopy laying on his back.. it's on that rock.. see it". Which way Helen? Left , right? They are ALL rocks. She didn't even specify where, or name the structure. We probably saw a quarter of the whole loop. We left there very disappointed and would not recommend Goulding’s deluxe tour at all. The hotel- absolutely but not the guided tour and certainly not with Helen. She was merely just a person driving the truck. We could have done that ourselves with an audio-tour guide. Atleast we would have gotten a proper tour.

An amazing experience
The tour takes you to areas you can not go on a self guided tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and added a lot to the experience. Excellent off road driver and yes that's important to this tour.

Not worth it
To begin with it was hard to find the check in location. The address was was pointing us to another building. When the trip started the speaker was not working so we could not hear anything. The speaker issue was eventually fixed. We weren't given much historical information on the area and some of the facts that we were given were incorrect or inconsistent. We had to literally fact check everything after the tour and do our our research. On top of that it was super dusty so it would have been much better if we explored with our own vehicle.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Monument Valley Deluxe Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monument Valley.
How much does Monument Valley Deluxe Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Monument Valley usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Monument Valley Deluxe Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Monument Valley is not rushed.
Is Monument Valley Deluxe Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Monument Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Monument Valley Deluxe Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Monument Valley Deluxe Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Monument Valley Deluxe Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Monument Valley can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Monument Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Monument Valley Deluxe Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Monument Valley within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Monument Valley?
+
Monument Valley is only fully accessible with Navajo guides: backcountry 4x4 tours into restricted areas, sunrise and sunset photo runs, horseback rides and cultural storytelling. On Outty we rank every Monument Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2.5 Hours of Monument Valley's Backcountry 4×4 Tour, Monument Valley Group Tour - 3 Hours - Navajo Spirit Tours, 3 Hour Monument Valley Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Monument Valley?
+
April to May and September to October for mild temperatures. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Monument Valley?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Monument Valley Deluxe Tour?
+
Included: Park Entry Fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Monument Valley Deluxe Tour?
+
Goulding's Lodge Front Desk Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Monument Valley Deluxe Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Monument Valley Deluxe Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Monument Valley Deluxe Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Monument Valley Deluxe Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Monument Valley Deluxe Tour?
