Perfect and precise organization, very kind and helpful staff at check-in. Everything was on time. A modern and comfortable shuttle will take you to the entrance of the canyon. Our guide was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She explained how the canyon was formed and what happens throughout the year, adding historical stories and interesting facts. She took photos of us at all the most iconic locations. The canyon is wonderful, everything is perfectly maintained, and it's truly suitable for everyone, young and elderly, children and families. A fantastic experience, highly recommended.

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.

The owners Rose Anne and Lester were great hosts. On the way to the tour we passed other tour companies that had literally hundreds of people waiting to view Antelope canyon for 90 minutes. Our tour with Mystical Antelope Canyon tours was only 4 people and lasted 4 hours. We definitely had way more personal attention that we would have anywhere else. Rose Anne's stories about how the canyon was formed; her and Lester's family history in the canyon; how they started their business; and the actual tour itself were just fantastic. Highly recommend taking a tour with them!

Super good experience! Our guide was lovely and the canyon is amazing. Maybe as a point of improvement I would have liked them to tell us a little more history of the formation of the canyon and the Navajo nation. But otherwise everything was great. I recommend the experience.

This experience was unforgettable! We attended on 10/31/25. Initially we booked our tour online for 9:00am. We arrived earlier than we expected (with time zone differences) and they still accommodated us for the earlier time, which was kind and much appreciated!! Our group only had our group of 3 and 1 other couple so a total of 5 of us. Our guide, Leroy was awesome!!! He was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, answered questions, took amazing photos of our family in the canyon, and sang/hummed native Navajo songs along our tour, which echoed beautifully in the cavernous canyon making the experience even more special! Then when we emerged from the canyon at the end of our tour there was a hot air balloon regatta happening overhead! It was truly magical and a spectacular sight! We couldn't have planned ur better if we had tried!! We have actually already highly recommended this tour to a group we met in flagstaff that was going to skip it due to concern of large crowds. We shared our experience and told them it was worth it!! We will recommend to anyone we know who is coming to the area!! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Antelope Canyon X was absolutely breathtaking — a hidden gem that feels more peaceful and personal than the other canyons. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The canyon itself is stunning, with graceful curves, glowing red and orange walls, and incredible natural light that changes every few minutes. Our Navajo guide was wonderful — very knowledgeable, kind, and patient while helping everyone capture the perfect photos. They explained the history and spiritual meaning of the canyon, which made the experience even more special. I loved how there was plenty of time to explore and take pictures without feeling rushed. It truly felt like a more intimate and less crowded version of Antelope Canyon, and the views were every bit as magical. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience filled with natural beauty, peace, and incredible photo opportunities, Antelope Canyon X is a must-see!

We had gone to Sedona and the Grand Canyon the days before Lower Antelope. Both of us agreed the Antelope visit was the best. You are up close and personal with the walls and colors. It was amazing to see changes as the sun moved. I liked the small groups. Our guide was wonderful. Work brought me to the area, otherwise I would likely never have gotten here. Now I want to tag along with anyone I know that plans to come here.

Just do it!!! It was so awesome. We were worried it might be crazy difficult. We did just fine. And the process with Ken's was easy. The walk to the actual canyon was a snap! Best advice- put your phone on Phoenix time to be on time and wear athletic or trail shoes that can trek on metal stairs and packed sand/ gravel. . It was amazing and our guide was so friendly. We felt privileged to be able to share in this treasure.
