We would like to leave a review for our tour guide Bernice. Bernice's tour was outstanding, she took her time taking photos of all her clients/guests. She even went above and beyond by kicking up a little sand to create a natural special effect as it glimmered in the sunlight of our photos. My boyfriend sat in the front of the van with Bernice and they had a great conversation as we mentioned we are interested in moving to Arizona. She gave us great advice and insight, as well as tons of information/facts about the canyons. We really enjoyed ourselves, this tour was the highlight of our trip. Thank you again Bernice, it was really nice to meet you.

A Perfect Experience! Upper Antelope Canyon is truly a slice of paradise on Earth. I’d especially like to highlight our amazing tour guide. Unfortunately, I forgot his name, but he was driving van number 3 on July 17th (our tour was at 10:20 AM). He was incredibly engaging, explained everything beautifully, was very approachable, and took absolutely stunning photos. Thanks to him, the entire experience was even more memorable. Highly recommended!!

Ticketing was very easy. Mariah was our guide. She was very friendly, informative, and helpful. She used our phones to get us some great photos. She also taught us many things about our phone cameras to enhance our photo shooting abilities. I highly recommend this tour and Mariah as a guide.
