Definitely recommend this canyon and tour group! My son and I booked the Canyon X tour for a visit during Memorial Day weekend. Yes, it was busy, but so was EVERYTHING else in the area. The tour meets at a remote location about 10 minutes south of Page, but it was definitely worth the drive. especially considering that this tour is considerably cheaper. Once you arrive on site, the check-in staff was very friendly and informative. It's best to arrive 30 minutes before the tour start time, because you have to sign waivers, get yourself prepared (sunscreen, water, etc.), and then they will assign you a 12-person van. It's a 10-minute drive in the van to get to the remote location (I found out on the tour that Canyon X is the start point of the extensive Antelope canyon system that includes the Upper and Lower Canyons). I wish I could remember the name of our driver TO the site, but what I will say is that she was very knowledgeable about the tour founder and the history of the area. After the tour, of course, you have to board a van for the 10-minute return visit. Our tour guide Jameson was very attentive, friendly, funny, and knowledgeable! He also helped our small group take great pictures. Yes, there were other small groups of 10-11 people, but Jameson did a great job of keeping us separated from the other groups.

We really loved everything about our tour! When we arrived 45 minutes before our tour, we were actually an hour and 45 minutes early because of some confusion about which time zone we were in. Luckily Dixie's was able to get us on an earlier tour. Colton, our tour guide, was exceptional; not only did he share lots of info about the canyon, but he suggested the best places to take photos, and even took several photos for everyone in the tour group...and showed us how to use filters on our iphone to get the best photos! We have been telling all our friends about Antelope Canyon!

Mike did an excellent job taking photos and showing us hidden gems and answering questions along our tour of Upper Canyon! His photos of us and helpful tips on our phones were greatly appreciated. He was patient and kind even to those on tour not paying attention. Website says to arrive 45 minutes early for full experience of which there was nothing to do but sign waver and sit at picnic table and wait for tour. Don't waste this time instead stop at Shell Gas station on Coppermine Rd and walk a few steps for free photo-op on way to meeting tour.

Our tour guide, Delilah was knowledgeable, funny, and a content expert. She wove stories about past and present events into the tour; shared first-hand accounts about the Canyon's significance to the Navajo tribe to which she belongs; and discussed the consequences of nature and man's impact on this natural wonder. The Canyon itself is breathtaking. Staff took great care to prepare us on what to expect, and helped us capture the beauty and majesty inside the Canyon with our phones & cameras. I think we all left awed by what we had experienced.

Wow, that was so awesome! First of all out Navajo guide was great. She told us a little history about the canyon and about the flash floods that happened in the past. The excursion was a small group of 8 and we arrived at the canyon in a few minutes of a slightly bumpy ride. When you enter the canyon you are immediately awed by this incredible, natural, beautiful work of nature. The way the sunlight shines and filters through the canyon creates beautiful breathtaking photographic opportunities for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Enjoy!

The canyon was a wonder! We're so happy we got to experience it. Carlyle was a fantastic guide. He was welcoming and friendly and helpful to every person in the group. He suggested photos and angles to use so we could get the best shots, and he offered to use our phones to take shots of us along the way. All through the tour, he told us about Navajo beliefs and customs related to what we were seeing, and how he had incorporated them in his own life. It wasn't just a great tourist experience, it was a life-enhancing experience for us.

We arrived early and was told we had about 12 minutes until the it was time to pull off and to use the restrooms before had I went to use the rest room and and my friend who I booked the tour with was told to get off the van as I was walking out of the bathroom. I had to run to make the van which kinda put a bad taste in my mouth because the restrooms were all full and I had to wait to get in one than after 2 minutes we were being left and told to hon on the next tour when vans where still sitting there. I didn't like that at all we did get on a van and out tour guid Justin was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and knew the best places to capture content and pictures he knew the settings for our phones and taught us how to do a pano picture. I learned so much and he made the tour so much more enjoyable. I would've giving it all stars but the mishap in the beginning was unacceptable.
