The experience was one of a kind! I was in awe of the views. The guide was knowledgeable and patient. We arrived full hour before our tour and were able to rebook on the earlier tour! It was an incredible experience. I was a bit scared during parts of it, but the guide encouraged me to take my time! So glad I did this! The guide took a picture at the end for us ! It will be a treasured photo for us! Thank you!

We took the 11:00 AM 2-hour tour. The weather wasn't too hot, and there were no other tour participants or reservations, so we had the tour all to ourselves with our guide, John. Our guide was very kind; we hadn't brought any water, so he sold us some for just $1 a bottle, which was half the price of what we paid at the gas station we stopped at on the way back. He was the best guide we could have hoped for.

We visited Deer Canyon (by chance, since Lower Antelope was closed and we were looking for an alternative) and were the only family there with the guide! We were all alone in the canyon, too—it was so great. Far away from the crowds of tourists. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, plenty of time for photos, and no stress, this is the place for you! Thank you!!
