I am looking to visit Canyon de Chelly, Arizona in March of 2023 and was wondering if anyone has used the Jeep tours. Can you provide and information on the tours and/or sights to explore in the canyon..

Sorry... can't help with the Jeep tours but we did take a horseback tour down the Canyon and it was awesome... and we're not experienced 'riders'.

Whatever you decide, get down IN the Canyon.

We did and it was terrific. Just a note; only certified Navaho natives are approved for the keep tours. Our guide as funny, narrative and we had a blast. There is a hotel, facility that the guides meet up every morning. Sorry, do t remember where it was but it was south of the canyon.

Ditto. Fun tour. In our case they used what looked like modified WWII half track trucks. The lodge where you meet has a decent buffet lunch.

I notice you have a Jeep. They used to offer driving your own 4x4. The guide drove it; not the owner. Don't know if they still do it but that may be cheaper.

We did that many years ago - the guide was at the visitor center, saw us pull in, and offered to drive us down in our vehicle when we stepped out. We didn't even know it was a thing and it turned out to be one of the most fun things we did that trip. He took us to his home and took us to different parts of the canyon.
