Reviews
"Such a fun tour. The first and tallest ladder was more disconcerting than I thought it would be when I got half way up, but it’s very sturdy and everyone in the group was able to make it up. Loved crawling through the tunnel too. Great tour guide, beautifully preserved ancient buildings, and just a really cool experience."
"This was definitely a fun tour, don't let what you read scare your... there are some areas where the height might be an issue but the ladders are stable and don't move, wobble or shake,...the tunnel isn't as daunting as it is made to sound, there were people of all sizes on our tour and nobody got stuck. I would recommend it at least once... very small children could make it a bit harder, so I might recommend against that, but if the parent can get them in or out physically.... All the power to them."
"It's really neat to experience the Pueblo dwellings up close. If you have fear of heights, you might consider passing on this because of a 20 - and 30-foot ladder climb. Safe but nervy if u have fear of heights. Even with my fear of heights, I would do it once but not again. Also, you can drive stood the area and see dwellings without taking this tour, so it's still worth the trip. If planning a trip near here, make sure you visit Monument Valley and definitely take a private Navajo jeep tour. The private tour at Monument Valley was the best experience during my two weeks traveling the west. The tours are relatively inexpensive and take you onto private priperty to see sacred locations you won't see on the park service loop."
"An amazing tour. The ranger will say this is strenuous hike but it was not bad. I have some claustrophobic feelings in tight spaces and you do have to crawl through a small space but I had no issues with it. It is ten feet long but goes by so fast. If you have a chance go on this tour!!"
"Balcony house was 100% my favorite of the tours offered. Get to come closer to the house and learn all about the people who once lived here, how the dwelling was created, the age of the dwelling, and some history behind the balcony house. This tour I would not recommend for small children due to the climbing, height, needing to take extra caution throughout the tour. Would also not recommend if you are scared of heights. We also had someone in our group decide to not do the tour due to bad knees as this tour you need to crawl on your knees. Tickets to the tour gets released 2 weeks in advance."
