We have been touring and exploring the Great Plains and the Southwest with our guests since 1995. We know our stuff, all our guides are all-indigenous and we help you experience things you couldn't do for yourself.Our Native American tours are highly personalized and there is an exciting atmosphere on each and every tour.We are the best because we get how it feels to come into Native American Indian Country for the first time and we're going to make sure your tour is unique and memorable - full of amazing experiences and all in line with tribal etiquette.You can join our native guides for day tours at sacred sites, cultural places and historical venues in South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, or join 7-14 day escorted tours throughout the West, Alaska, Hawaii and we specialize in wolf and grizzly watching in the Greater Yellowstone region. We also run horseback rides on the Little Bighorn Battlefield and trips to Indian Reservations too. « less

Ive just completed a full week of travel to the Cheyenne, Pine Ridge reservations for the first half of the week, met incredible people who were varied from healers to contemporary musicians. In between trips to the reservations, I literally spent hours during the drives discussing everything from AIM, current reservation life, history, nature and every possible topic that came... More

Although I really enjoyed my trip I totally think the tours are over priced. I paid for three extra days in Yellowstone and only got two. Many times the itinerary followed the tour director's needs, e.g stopping at a Billings department store so she could stock up on personal care products. The best part of their tours are the Native... More

I have been on three trips with Go Native America and each one has been an awesome experience. Every indigenous person that works with this company knows their own culture and history and is happy to share what they can within the cultural boundaries of doing so. If you take one of these trips, and I recommend you do because... More

Go Native America is one of the best companies I ever traveled with and I'd consider myself a seasoned travelette. I wanted to understand Native American culture better and although I usually travel solo and just go to communities myself when I am curious, I knew that wouldn’t work with this Native American endeavor. So nervously I booked a group... More

Many thanks for your positive review and we are happy to hear what a great time you had with us. I know you were planning on returning sometime and just to say our new brochure will be with you in a few days. Remember I mentioned to you about going to the Southwest? Well it's definitely on the schedule now.... More

Maura, thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. We really do put as much time, effort and energy into every one of our tours as we can and I can say honestly it is worth every ounce of that energy when people like yourself appreciate the experiences we offer.

Sarah, as in other reviews is extremely difficult to deal with and attempted to rip me off. I mailed in my tour application and personal check in May 2012 as I planned to be in Harding, Montana, in June for the Little Bighorn Days and planned to do a short excursion tour. I never received any type of reply, but... More

If we make a mistake, we say so, and we made an honest mistake when at the end of the season a couple of outstanding checks were banked, and this one was bunched with them accidentally because there was no booking form/waiver attached to it and it was assumed it was just another outstanding check. It was NOT cashed and... More

The guides we had on our tour were wonderful people. It was fascinating listening and learning from their stories. If I had, had their names and contact information, I would have hired them privately and skipped the horrific experience with Sarah, the driver/owner. I will not recommend this company to anyone for the following reasons. It was important to me... More

This was a shocking review which caused us to pause and draw breath. We immediately knew it was not honest, but actually with time we have come to see it in a positive light because when we showed this to guides who have worked with us, and also to tour members who have travelled with us over our 18 years...

I was duped by National Geographic recommending this particular tour company to experience the culture of native americans. We had long drives backtracking to overnight accommodation chosen for price and/or convenience to home for the tour operators rather than location and convenience for tour guests (strip mall areas completely cut off from mingling with locals or rustic locations without telephone...

Unfortunately this tour member did not receive the early booking discount simply because she did not book early enough – records show January 2012, not by Oct 31, 2011 as the offer stated. The voucher she cites was taken from a newsletter and was for a different trip, yet we still offered to meet her halfway on the value… which... More

Booked my tour in October 2011 and was giddy with anticipation for almost a year. Venues and cultural learnings were great, but the poor organization of the tour made me rue the $3800 (not including airfare) I paid. Did not receive my final invoice until the day before departure, and it was inaccurate. Did not receive promised detailed itinerary package;... More

We recommend all tour members read our website’s very comprehensive information on how we run tours and tour information packets prior to traveling with us. Every tour member is contacted personally by the tour coordinator prior to their journey by phone or email (usually both) and all tour members are encouraged to ask any and all questions they may have...
