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!

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!

Great trip! David was our driver, he pointed out several interesting sites and plants on the way out and back. Justin and Thomas were our guides. They were both very patient (I was a slow walker) and knowledgeable. Thomas was raised in a traditional "Dine'" home. (Means The People and is what the Navajo call themselves). His knowledge was incredible. He also carried a laser pointer to show us interesting features in the canyons. Justin explained a lot about how the canyons were formed and the geologic structures. He knew the best places to takes photos and how to set our iPhone filters for the best shots. He also played a traditional flute in the cavern that was exquisite. Highly recommend!

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.

The tour was an amazing experience. Parking was visible from the main road and once inside, plenty of space. Check in at the office was fast and easy. Tour driver was engaging leading to antelope canyon and also on the way back to the office. We had the Josh as our tour guide through the north and south area. Very engaging, open to all questions, and delievered very detailed information about the canyon overall. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Highly recommending this to friends and family. 10/10 experience and plan to return in the future.

Really great experience. You can tell they run a tight ship over there. Super organized and everyone was friendly. The tour itself outside of transportation to and from and canyon was about an hour. Van was our tour guide. He was great! Shared a lot of details about the history of the canyons and provided some really interesting fun facts. The hike itself was fairly easy-moderate. Our tour had children and elderly people both groups were fine. This was my first time in Arizona and I'm excited to come back again.

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.

From the reviews and conversations with others that had been on other Antelope canyon tours we believe this is the best. Small numbers of people in the canyon made this tour ideal and a great experience versus what we heard about large crowds at other locations. It also had easy access to the canyon making it suitable for everyone. The canyons themselves were magnificent, beyond what we expected. Tyler our guide was enthusiastic and informative. We would definitiely return on oour next trip.

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.
