I went into Antelope Canyon expecting to enjoy it… but honestly, it completely blew me away. I knew it was going to be beautiful, but the reality is on a whole different level. The colors, the shapes, the light beams—everything feels almost unreal, like stepping into a painting that keeps shifting as you walk. We were incredibly lucky with our guide—Sho (I hope I’m remembering her name correctly). She was wonderful: super friendly, funny, and genuinely passionate about the canyon. You could tell she really wanted everyone to have the best possible experience. And the photos she took of us? Absolutely amazing. I still don’t understand how she knew exactly where to stand and how to angle the camera, but every picture looks like it belongs in a magazine. The whole visit felt smooth, relaxed, and way more special than I expected. Antelope Canyon is one of those places that you think you’ve already seen a thousand times in photos… until you’re actually inside it, and suddenly you realize the pictures don’t even come close. In short: I loved it even more than I thought I would, and a huge part of that was thanks to Sho. If you’re even slightly considering going, just do it—you won’t regret it.

Our guide, Aidan, was very friendly, knowlegeable, funny and interesting! Aidan ensured that everyone was following the rules on the stairs and being respectful of our surroundings. My family and I learnt a lot from him about the Canyon and the history of the Navajo people. Aidan helped us take the most stunning pictures by suggesting certain filter settings on our phones. He also offered to take pictures of all of us together , for which I am very grateful! The canyon is stunning and I am so glad we did the Lower Antelope Canyon. The adventure of going down the steep stairs made the experience even more fun and interesting.

Beautiful! Well coordinated event; however, I emailed the company the day before and was told they follow PHX time which didn't seem to be the case. We arrived a half hour early per instructions but ended up being an hour and half early. Luckily we were asked if we wanted to go on the tour early. Our time is valuable as is yours. It would be great if the messaging was consistent. Tour guide was great, showed us all the great places to take pictures and helped with filters and angle. Much appreciated! Received lots of great feedback from friends and family on the shots.

Our experience at Lower Antelope Canyon was unforgettable, and so much of that came down to our guide, Shawn. His knowledge of the canyon is remarkable, from its geological history to the way light moves through the slot canyon at different times of day. He clearly has a deep passion for this place. On top of that, Shawn has a real talent for photography, always knowing exactly where to position you and when to capture the most stunning shots. We came home with photos we’ll treasure forever. If you’re booking a tour, request Shawn- you won’t regret it 😄

We read some reviews of Antelope Canyon tours before travelling, but as travel photos can sometimes be deceiving, I expected larger crowds and more trouble getting good shots of what I wanted to remember. I was happy to discover that I was wrong. This was a busy day for the tour company, with nearly 3000 visitors. We didn't feel rushed, and we love the images we're now able to look back on and remember this amazing place. Our tour guide, Kennedy, had a great sense of humour, and we left with new knowledge of the canyon's geology and history.

This tour was amazing! I hadn't heard of Antelope Canyon, but we were camping near by and I saw it as we passed by. I am so glad I booked a tour as it was the highlight of my trip. Randy, our tour guide was informative and helpful, even taking photos of each person in the group and showing us how to get the best photos. We weren't rushed through the canyon and were allowed to take out time getting the best pictures.

We had high expectations and what we got out of the tour was far beyond. The beauty, the feeling of being in the canyon, and our guide made it an experience of a lifetime. Our guide, Ryan, was so knowledgeable about the history, geology, culture, and tradition of the canyon and the ancestral inhabitants of the area. He enriched our lives!

We arrived early as suggested and were able to join an earlier tour. The Navajo people at Ken's were very polite and helpful. Our guide was knowledgeable and offered many ideas for photos. It was an amazing opportunity to see a spectacular area we would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Caleb was an awesome guide. He took the time to explain the significance of each landmark and took some incredible photos for us. Well beyond anything I expected. He was doing some really cool shots with panoramas and different styles. He took the hike to an incredible level.
