Armando was fantastic! He kept everyone engaged, taught us all how to take pictures, lol, then took pictures for everyone as well...at one point he stopped and played a flute!! It was amazing. At the end he gave us a demonstration of how the canyon was formed, which really helped me appreciate the landscape around us :) since coming back home, I've recommended this tour to everyone I've spoken to!

Great easy tour. Breathtaking views and experience. Kids had an amazing time. My youngest, 4years old made it through with no issues. Highly recommend to go early. We were the second group and the 1hr tour and it took us almost 2 hrs to go through. Our guide showed us pictures of other groups and they were jam packed, where it takes 10mins to go one step. We're lucky that didn't happen to us. Overall, such an amazing adventure. Total bucket list checklist.

The lower antelope canyon is simply a MUST see. You probably have not seen anything like it. We were in awe of the absolute beauty nature has given to us in this canyon. Our guide Brad was so great also. Taking photos of all in our group in the best spots, answering every question, providing insight and explaining things that we didn't even notice. Brad was very friendly and easy to speak with.

My husband & I just celebrated our 37th anniversary at Lower Antelope Canyon & were just in awe of the beauty of this place!! Our tour guide, Jason, was full of knowledge about the canyon & helped us take amazing pictures while on our tour! We would love to take other family members there when they visit! It's the type of place you want to visit more than once!!

Our guide Eric, was great! I loved how he pointed out all the interesting views and took amazing photos of us at spots with perfect lighting, but the best part was when he pulled out his flute and played a little tune that echoed in the canyon walls. Amazing!
