This is an epic slot canyon which can't be matched. The tours are all staggered out so that only each small group enters at a time which provides for a personal experience without crowds of people or others in your pictures. They really have it worked out well. Antonio was our guide. He knew the history and folklore of the canyon. He knew all the best places and angles to take great shots. He was a great photographer and knew the tricks of the trade to get the best pics using Apple or Android phone cameras. He even taught us the tricks. He facilitated getting individual photos of each of us and our groups at every great vantage point of the tour. Ken's Tours is located right at the throat of the upper and lower canyons so there is no business g around. Hassle free touring!

The guide was wonderful. They divide the group into 15 per guide, which was a lot but he was a seasoned pro and was sure to include everyone. The day we were there it was VERY crowded!! And Ken's was not prepared to handle all the people. We paid more for this tour than folks who came without a ticket (they pay $76, this ticket is $100) but there was a huge waiting list and I'm not sure everyone got in. There were tour busses!! So, the number of people was off putting. But when you get into the canyon, it's overwhelmingly beautiful and we felt it was worth the hassle.

We were early for our scheduled tour so we joined the first tour of the day. The hoop dancer was amazing in his interpretations. Our tour group of about 20 was lead by Oran(?) and he was terrific. He explained the history and pointed out some of the best spots for pictures with the best phone camera settings and also took our pictures of us. My wife is afraid of heights and stairs and reluctantly went on the tour. Afterwards, she was very happy that we went on the tour and would do it again.

Our tour was fantastic and I can't say enough good things about our guide, Ala! She was Informative, patient, and she made sure each family and person in the group captured the photos they wanted and even took pictures of families and people in the best spots. At the end of the tour she gave us a very visual presentation on how the slot canyons were formed. I wished she had been one of my high school teachers. I truly got a better sense of the geology of this amazing place.

It was absolutely amazing, we've been wanting to see this canyon for 20+ years. Our guide Joann was fantastic with plenty of facts and details, and she did a great job taking pictures of our group in the canyon with each cell phone. We loved the Navajo flute playing in the canyon - beautiful. Crazy how you can't tell from above that there is such beauty below. The staff does a great job maintaining this lower canyon for the public's access and keeping it all safe!

We loved touring the lower Antelope Canyon. It was amazing! Our guide was informative and showed us how to take the best pictures. She also took some for us which was awesome. The Canyon is underground about 80 feet at one point. Every step you took was beautiful. There was always something new to see. There were alot of steps going both up and down, but they were easy to navigate. Our tour lasted about an hour. We would highly recommend it. We were mezmerized.

The Guide Eli was superb. He shared his love for his people, motherland and culture with us. We enjoyed that. He played his flute, beautifully. He also was very nice and polite, and took a very good care of us and our safety. We enjoyed just looking at him, in his beautiful traditional outfit with gorgeous jewelry and his traditional hair style. It all was very educational, increased our knowledge of Dineh culture a lot. He just was magnificent!

Our guide, Jonas, was a well-informed about the history and geology of the canyon, he told great stories, pointed out rock formations we otherwise might have missed, and took fabulous photos for us. It was the single most beautiful and profoundly moving experience I have ever had, in what has been a rich, full life.

Amazing experience. Really liked the guide. Liked how the company kept the group very small. Our group was 7 people; the rival company sent 41 people in as we were leaving the canyon. I didn't see if they broke up that group once they went in, but our group was 7 from way before entering the canyon.
