Visiting Lower Antelope Canyon was truly a breathtaking and unforgettable experience. The natural beauty of the canyon is beyond words—every turn reveals stunning colors, flowing sandstone walls, and God’s amazing creation on full display. What made the experience even more special was our tour guide, who was incredibly accommodating, kind, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the history of the canyon, helped everyone take beautiful photos, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. Their warm and friendly attitude made the entire journey even more enjoyable. This tour is absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an awe-inspiring adventure paired with excellent hospitality. A truly memorable experience from start to finish!

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!

Here's a review for Lower Antelope Canyon: "Just got back from Lower Antelope Canyon and it was AMAZING! The twists and turns of the canyon were like nothing I've ever seen before. The rock formations were stunning, with colors and textures that seemed to shift and change as we moved through the canyon. The tour was a great experience - our guide was knowledgeable and made the whole thing feel adventurous and special. The stairs can be a bit tricky, but it's totally worth it for the views. One thing to keep in mind is that it's a bit more physically demanding than Upper Antelope, so if you're not super mobile, you might want to consider Upper instead. But if you're up for the adventure, Lower Antelope is a must-see!"

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 guide was very knowledable, accommodating and had a wonderful personality. I so enjoyed our tour! She was very helpful with showing us the best setting for pictures and took pictures of my daughter and I together at great spots. We couldn't have asked for a better person to lead our tour. 😎

Our guide was fabulous and the canyon is beautiful. We were disappointed that the tour was so short. We were expecting a 1 1/2 hour tour according to the description , but it was only 45 minutes, including picture taking time. This makes the tour a bit pricey.

We were very well guided by Carlson, who took some beautiful photos! The place is simply indescribable! The access to the canyon is a little narrow, but I was with a toddler and it was easy! I highly recommend it!
