Great trip! David was our driver, he pointed out several interesting sites and plants on the way out and back. Justin and Thomas were our guides. They were both very patient (I was a slow walker) and knowledgeable. Thomas was raised in a traditional "Dine'" home. (Means The People and is what the Navajo call themselves). His knowledge was incredible. He also carried a laser pointer to show us interesting features in the canyons. Justin explained a lot about how the canyons were formed and the geologic structures. He knew the best places to takes photos and how to set our iPhone filters for the best shots. He also played a traditional flute in the cavern that was exquisite. Highly recommend!

The tour was an amazing experience. Parking was visible from the main road and once inside, plenty of space. Check in at the office was fast and easy. Tour driver was engaging leading to antelope canyon and also on the way back to the office. We had the Josh as our tour guide through the north and south area. Very engaging, open to all questions, and delievered very detailed information about the canyon overall. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Highly recommending this to friends and family. 10/10 experience and plan to return in the future.

Really great experience. You can tell they run a tight ship over there. Super organized and everyone was friendly. The tour itself outside of transportation to and from and canyon was about an hour. Van was our tour guide. He was great! Shared a lot of details about the history of the canyons and provided some really interesting fun facts. The hike itself was fairly easy-moderate. Our tour had children and elderly people both groups were fine. This was my first time in Arizona and I'm excited to come back again.

From the reviews and conversations with others that had been on other Antelope canyon tours we believe this is the best. Small numbers of people in the canyon made this tour ideal and a great experience versus what we heard about large crowds at other locations. It also had easy access to the canyon making it suitable for everyone. The canyons themselves were magnificent, beyond what we expected. Tyler our guide was enthusiastic and informative. We would definitiely return on oour next trip.

Antelope Canyon X was just the right balance of amazment vs intensity. This is important because we were traveling with kids and seniors so the walking was gentle enough for them to do. The tour wasn't rushed, and we had time to take pictures. We also didn't feel like we missed out from what we could've seen at the upper/lower Antelope Canyons, and the pictures we got at Antelope Canyon X were equally amazing. All in all, a solid adventure for the family.

I'd accidentally showed up a day early from my booking. What can I say- I was excited! They accommodated us and put us in at the same time- There was a bus of folks that was super late so my husband and I ended up getting a private tour of the canyon! Our tour guide Franco was excellent and explained the history and the geological features of the canyon and made the experience so wonderful. I'm so happy we booked Canyon X!!!

    At 1:40 in the afternoon, when the sun stood high and warm above us, we began a short ten-minute ride. Dust rose gently around us as excitement built in quiet smiles and curious glances. It felt like we were not just traveling across land, but moving toward something special. Then we arrived, and it felt like the earth opened its heart. Antelope Canyon is not a place you simply see. It is a place you step into. The moment you enter, everything changes. The walls curve like soft waves, shaped over time with a kind of patience that feels almost sacred. Every surface holds a story, every line feels alive. And then there is the light. It does not just shine. It moves. It slips gently through the narrow openings above and paints the canyon in gold, orange, and deep red. It feels alive, like it is dancing just for you. Our guide made the experience even more magical. They showed us where to stand, how to look, and how to truly see the beauty around us. It felt like being guided not just through a canyon, but through a living piece of art. Every photo became a memory we will carry forever. We found ourselves pausing often, looking up, and simply taking it all in. Some moments were too beautiful for words, and silence felt like the only way to honor them. Somewhere between shadow and light, I realized this is more than just a canyon. It is time shaped into something gentle and powerful at once. It is nature showing us what patience can create. If you ever have the chance, go. Go in the afternoon when the light is soft and glowing. Take the ride, step inside, and let yourself feel small in the most beautiful way. Because Antelope Canyon does not just give you photos. It gives you a feeling you will never forget.

    The Antelope Canyon X tour was absolutely amazing! The canyon formations and light beams were breathtaking. Our Navajo guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting stories about the history and culture of the area. It felt less crowded than other canyon tours, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Arizona!
