Adventurous Antelope Tours & headout provided one of the best experiences in touring Antelope Canyon. While other tour companies used pickup trucks with platform seating in the truck bed, Adventurous Antelope Tours & headout had air conditioned 4-wheel drive motor coaches. It is hot, sandy and dusty driving to the canyon, so being in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle was a big plus! Carson Begay was our tour guide. He was super nice and knowledgeable. Gave us a great experience in Antelope Canyon. He helped us take and/or took pictures for us in the best locations to get fantastic photos of our tour. Highly recommend using Adventurous Antelope & headout for your Antelope Canyon Tour.

This should be on everyone's bucket list. This tour was truly magical. To be able to walk through a canyon and see all the different sways of the rock and learn the history behind it by someone who really knows what they are talking about is wonderful. Our tour guide Mikaya was extraordinary. She went out of her way to ensure we took the best pictures and even took pictures of us when we asked. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and overall made our experience amazing. 10/10 service. I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone and everyone to do at least once.

Our guide, Tyrone, was most excellent in his knowledge of Antelope Canyon. His experience and demeanor made this experience extraordinary. He assisted each so as to optimize our camera settings, had us stand in precise places so we could get the best view and understanding of rock formations. He even took multiple photographs with each of our cameras so that we could capture and enjoy the best photos memories. We can't wait to return and explore the Upper Canyon again during the best timing and also explore the Lower canyon! It was a magnificent experience because of the guide!

The day started out with some confusion about what the time actually was in Antelope Canyon. Apparently cellphones can get confused when they ping off Utah cell towers this time of year due to the time difference between Utah and Arizona as well as the proximity. But once we started the tour we thought it kind of unusual that the tour company used 4 wheel drive buses. Once those buses got off the highway it was pretty evident as to why. The ride in and out was a little bumpy at times but not bad. The canyon tour was interesting and would have been better on a sunny day but you can't change the weather. Better half loved it though so that's all that really matters. Lots of picture taking and a fairly easy stroll. Of course we took the Upper Antelope Canyon tour. The lower canyon tour we heard was a little more strenuous. Anyway a good time was had by all. Basically took less than 2 hours when it was all said and done so with so much to see in the area that was not a problem. A little pricey but worth it if you're in the area.
