The views were breathtaking and it was such an honor to be able to explore the canyon. Our guide was amazing! He really took his time explaining/showing photos or videos about the history. At the beginning of the tour he took the time to show each person the best camera settings to truly capture the beauty all around us. Took several opportunities to take photos of everyone in the group. I honestly have to give him additional credit for holding his composure with more than one rude couple in our group.

A perfectly organized tour, our guide was nothing short of wonderful. The canyons left us breathless, it is impossible to describe what it feels like to be there. Only a Navajo guide can make you understand the true beauty and value of that place. Our guide also took wonderful photos of us and explained everything so well... it was my favorite stop in the entire United States, Mother Nature truly gifts us with wonderful scenery.

Our guide, Aaron, was incredible from start to finish. He explained everything so thoroughly and shared wonderful stories about the Navajo people, not just Antelope Canyon. Inside the canyon, he made sure we didn't miss any of the prettiest spots, pointed out the best angles, and even adjusted our phone camera settings to get the perfect shots. Huge thanks to Aaron for making our Antelope Canyon experience so unforgettable.

Our tour guide, Gavin, helped us take the best photos of the canyon. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was worth every cent and is highly recommended. The ladders are quite steep, but once you get down into the canyon, it is a very easy walk, although here and there it becomes very narrow. It was a fantastic experience that we will remember forever.

My visit to Lower Antelope Canyon on August 19th left me utterly spellbound. The canyon's interior is a masterpiece of nature, where the ever-changing light and shadows create a magical, fluid spectacle. It is a world-class attraction that deserves all the praise it gets. If you appreciate natural beauty, this is a destination you absolutely cannot miss.

We absolutely loved the Upper Antelope Canyon tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the canyons. He helped us adjust our cameras and even took special pics and group shots. He never hurried us and allowed us old people to walk back through instead of walking uphill in the hot sun! Just wonderful!

The canyon was just an amazing natural wonder. We enjoyed everything about our experiance. We had Ben as our guide and he was an exceptional guide. He knew all the history of the cavern and pointed out many great views. He also added in Navajo history of the area. I had the pleasure of talking with him after the tour.

First of all this was a bucket list item and it did not disappoint. Our group age was 9 to 88. Our guide Adelbert was phenomenal, ahéhee'. It is a serene site and a priviledge to be able to visit the Navajo Nation and learn its history.
