We really enjoyed it. We booked on line and it was way more than if you wait to get tickets there. There is 2 company's that have tours, they are next to each other. Our guide was very nice and even helped take pictures. We did the upper part of the tour.

The experience was amazing, and one of the better tours. The pricing from Headout was not. The tour was from $80 to $100 when you are there, Headout charged $140, which was excessive. This will affect any future decisions I will make with using Headout.

Dana was amazing!!! Very informative and helpful with capturing the right photo. She made sure we had the opportunity to have beautiful photos without other people in them. She pointed out key features in the rock formations as well as shared some of her Navajo background. She was very patient with everyone. We can't wait to come back next year and do it all over again.
