We had an incredible experience touring Antelope Canyon with Nathaniel! He was absolutely amazing, extremely knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area, and he made the entire tour engaging and fun. Nathaniel also doubled as an outstanding photographer. He knew all the best areas and helped us capture beautiful photos we never could have taken on our own. His tips made a huge difference, and we came away with stunning memories of the canyon. We visited in February and although it was a bit chilly, the canyon was still breathtaking and well worth it. The smaller crowds made the experience even more special, even if the lighting was a bit more shady. Highly recommend this tour and if you can, ask for Nathaniel. He made an already amazing place unforgettable!

We did a tour of Upper Antelope Canyon. Our guide, Loretta, was superb. She gave us tons of insight into the creation and continuing evolution of the canyon. She knew all the best spots for taking photos and was super kind to take our photos together several times. I love to visit these hidden gems and marvel at both the power to create ands destroy that nature has. Can't wait to return and tour lower Antelope Canyon-- or any other tour that this company offers! Fantastic guides and comfortable transport.

Your guide Mike was top notch! He not only assisted us in getting the best pictures throughout the tour, he took several pictures of us as a couple and he took the time to answer all our questions. He not only toured us through the canyon but he also took the time to explain so many things once we were outside of the canyon. He was so knowledgeable. We would give him 20 stars out of 10.

Both my wife and I had a great experience. The trip was well organized and the slot canyon was a marvel. The tour guide was very friendly, beyond helpful, knowledgeable, and a joy to spend time with. It is the people that make travel experiences rich. From the folks that checked us in to the tour guide and our fellow travellers this was a wonderful experience. Thanks! Tom

Our tour guide Sunny was excellent. I can not believe we paid $135 for a ticket and your website said there were no walkups available. When we arrived there was a sign inviting walkups and the price of s ticket was $82! We feel we were deceived by your website and deserve a refund for the difference we paid for two tockets.

Our visit to Upper Antelope Canyon was absolutely unforgettable. The Navajo guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the beauty and cultural significance of the canyon. From the moment we entered, they made sure everyone felt safe, welcomed, and had the best possible experience. The guide took time to point out incredible rock formations, explain how the canyon was formed, and even showed us the best camera angles to capture the famous light beams and flowing sandstone walls. Their expertise made the canyon come alive in a way we would never have experienced on our own. The tour was well organized, informative, and full of breathtaking moments. The guide’s respect for the land and Navajo culture added a deeper appreciation to the visit. If you’re planning a trip to Antelope Canyon, I highly recommend going with a Navajo guide, they truly make the experience special. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable adventure!

Although the canyon was spectacular, my expectation was the tour inside the canyon would be longer. I realize you're limited, as the canyon is shorter in length than we were expecting. The website indicated the tour would be 1 hour in length, but a good portion was spent in the van driving to and from the canyon from downtown Page, AZ. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable, providing many incredible facts. He also took some great photos for us. We were very surprised to find how cool the weather was. In most photos, people were in shorts and t-shirts. We arrived dressed in shorts and t-shirts as well, and found we were underdressed. It would be a good idea to suggest people bring warm clothing in case it is cool.
