The mother of the company in her 70's guided our tour. Amazing how she was able to easily maneuver though the canyon. She was very wise in the Navajo culture. You could see she had a strong heart for her culture. My husband and I loved her stories. Loved that this company is small and family owned. We happened to have a private tour which was awesome. Becoming off season. We loved the vision hee daughter has for the company and that the matriarch only wants to hire guides that have they heart!! ❤️ of course the canyon was beautiful. I am an amateur photographer, so I was engrossed with all the designs on the rock. We even recommended Mysical to a German couple the next day while stopping at the Navajo National Museum Monument.

We had a very good time, our guide Leander was really knowledgeable about all aspects of what he was showing us. Recommended camera settings and gave insights to great photos. I hope to return to property. To be honest I didn't do to much photography, wife's department, I was walking around pretty amazed especially about the history of different canyon uses. Once again I'll be back.

The sun was shining through the rocks and Rose Ann and Ernest were very interesting to listen to. The group was small which made it much easier to get that amazing shot I was hoping for.

    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!
