The tour was great and we enjoyed the canyon more than the lower because we felt it was prettier, easier to navigate, and leas Claustrophobic. The tour guide was strict, but took great pictures for us which we really appreciated.

Visiting Antelope Canyon was an absolute highlight of the trip, but what completely blew us away was our local Navajo guide. The canyon itself was breathtaking—the way the sun glided through the narrow sandstone slots, painting the wavy walls in glowing shades of amber and crimson, felt almost surreal. But our guide made the experience unforgettable. Beyond knowing every secret angle for taking stunning photos, they casually switched between English, Mandarin, Spanish, and Korean to welcome and interact with everyone in our group. Hearing fluently spoken Mandarin and Korean deep inside a desert canyon in Arizona was such an unexpected and impressive touch! It added so much warmth and fun to the journey, making an already stunning natural wonder even more memorable.

The tour was absolutely amazing, and the Antelope Canyon was incredibly beautiful — truly a sight to remember! My brother and I drove all the way from Las Vegas, and it was 100% worth the trip. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about the area. They did a fantastic job explaining the history, geology, and little details that made the experience even more special. We never felt rushed and were kept informed throughout the entire tour. This was more than just a tour — it was an unforgettable experience and a memory that my brother and I will cherish for a lifetime. Definitely a must-do if you're visiting the area! Thank you for making the experience so memorable! ❤️

Very well-organized tour. Antelope Canyon is a spectacular place. Our guide was great; he explained the best spots to photograph, showing you in a simple way the best features of your phone, and had a great attitude, even offering to take photos with your own phone, which turned out spectacular, like a professional's. Antelope Canyon is a special place that was well worth the visit.

This tour exceeded all our expectations! Small group, no rushing, phenomenal views. Kylee was an amazing guide and went above and beyond to get to know each of us. She showed us how to get really gorgeous shots with our phones and took many pictures for us. This tour was much less than other tours and, in our opinion, was perfect!
