As for the tour itself, we did a little off-roading to the slot canyon, which was an adventure itself, all while learning about the history and geology that preceded us. With a much fuller camera roll, we drove to an exclusive viewpoint of Horseshoe Bend that was remarkable.

Amazing experience at Upper Antelope Canyon! Our tour guide, Jecquana or "Quana," was truly…read moreincredible and made the entire experience unforgettable. She shared fascinating insights about the canyon, Navajo history, and even local flora and fauna, weaving stories throughout the trip that made everything feel meaningful and immersive. The tour begins with about a 15-minute drive to the canyon in either a Sprinter van or large SUV. Once there, the walk through the canyon takes about an hour. The hike itself isn't long, but there are currently around seven different tour companies, so everyone pauses frequently for photos (for good reason!). The route is a one-way loop, you enter from one side, exit the other, then walk up a short trail and down some stairs around a small mountain to return to the vehicles. I suggest wearing good shoes. Helpful tips we learned from Quana: There are two main Antelope Canyons: Upper and Lower. This tour company only offers tours of the Upper Canyon, which is shaped like an "A" (narrow at the top, wider at the bottom), making it easier to walk through. The famous light beams shining straight down only occur during monsoon season (July-October). The Lower Canyon, on the other hand, is shaped like a "V" with a much narrower floor. It often requires sand to be added for footing and is more prone to flooding after rain, which can lead to cancellations. Because of this, it's important to book your tour with weather in mind, clearer skies make the colors pop so much more. Quana didn't just share this knowledge, she also helped us adjust our camera settings, gave us the best photography tips, and was kind enough to take multiple photos for us. I truly left this tour feeling inspired, excited about Navajo culture, and grateful for such an incredible guide. If you can, request Quana, she made all the difference. I sincerely hope I get to come back one day. Thank you, Quana!!

This review is for Adventurous Antelope Canyon Tours (AACT) exclusively. Antelope Canyon, a…read moremajestic locale, has its own Yelp page. Several weeks before visiting page, I booked a reservation with AACT online. When visiting Antelope Canyon, you are required to take a tour. Without a tour reservation (which I recommend that you book well in advance), you can't go to Antelope Canyon. Located on Navajo land, there are several different tour guide companies available. They each have different prices, different times, and slightly different tours. AACT offered the best option for my schedule. On the day of our tour, we stopped by 20 minutes early as requested. After checking in, there was a little time to check out their gift shop and go to the bathroom (portapotties only). From there, we got into our comfortable, air-conditioned van and made our way to Antelope Canyon. Our tour guide was fantastic. He was a cool guy, shared a good amount of history about Antelope Canyon, and provided a lot of photo opps to everyone on the tour (we had a group of 15 people or so). He knows all of the right angles and the correct phone set up to give you the best pictures possible inside the canyon. Which was definitely much appreciated! My only complaint, and this applies to all of the tour companies, is that the tours are quite expensive. In addition to your tour, you also have to pay a fee to go on the reservation, and then an additional fee on top of that. It's like going to a concert where you're paying all of these extra fees in addition to the main act which sucks. Given how popular Antelope Canyon has become, people will buy at the price point. I just wish it was a bit more affordable.

I planned a trip to Arizona just to see Antelope Canyon. It wasn't until a week before my trip…read morethat I realized that Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land and you need a guided tour to be able to visit. I did some research and since I was going in February, it didn't matter if I went to Upper Canyon because I wouldn't be able to see the light tunnels. When I was trying to decide which one to go to, and which tour company, I came across a travel blogger who had done all three parts. He said that he recommended Canyon X. I saw that Taadidiin Tour was the only tour operator for Canyon X. The reviews stated that it was less crowded and less rushed, resulting in an opportunity to get better pictures. I was sold. I booked for a Wednesday at 1 PM since a lot of the recommendations said 10 AM to 1 PM was a good time. However, the morning of there was a snowstorm at the Grand Canyon and we could not exit the east entrance to Cameron and had to detour to the south entrance through Flaggstaff and with the snowstorm we would have made it right around the start of the tour and not 20 to 30 minutes early. I called when they opened and spoke to Naomi who was very friendly and accommodating and rebooked my family to 3 PM. A couple hours later got a call from Kendrick saying that they're making the difficult decision to cancel all the tours for the remainder of the day due to snow and the road closures. We discussed options and he was able to rebook me for 9 AM the next day. He was very helpful and friendly as well. We arrived the next morning and the check-in process was very smooth. We were told to come back about 10 minutes before the tour and could use the porta potties. The ride to the canyon was about 10 min. It was bumpy because the road is terrain and not paved. We were in like a 14 passenger van. Our tour guide was with Tommy and he was so friendly and funny. He showed us where we should take pictures and helped us take pictures as well using the panorama features. Even though I didn't go in the afternoon as originally planned the 9 AM timeslot was great. The tour was an hour and a half. There are steps to walk down and which is the easy part, but you do have to take the steps back up. The other family with us had young children and a toddler with a car seat, but they did fine.

This isn't one of my usual reviews--this is Yelp, and I mostly use this to review food. But hey,…read morethis is a profile I use for reviews, and I can vouch for these tours being really unique and the pictures they posted being real and unaltered--the views really are that good. Alicia and Jalen know this land really well and are skilled at telling you what to look for and why it matters. On the drive out, they pointed out neighbors by name, and we stopped by to meet some local flocks of sheep and goats on the way out. I also learned about Navajo history--despite living in Flagstaff I'd never heard of The Bennett freeze, which kept this area underdeveloped (there's no running water or electrical grid once you're west of the highway). The views and hiking are also really unique. The South Rim is so crowded and developed that it's easy to lose sight of just how crazy it is for a long plateau to just give way to a gash in the earth--here it's the same dirt roads all the way to the rim, with only the looming North Rim of the distance alerting you to any presence. Then it's a vertical cliff you don't see anywhere in the National Park. Alicia and Jalen know the paths for sure footing, since there's no developed trail. And perhaps more importantly, the river is right there. At the South Rim, you might know it's there, but you only get occasional glimpses. Here, you can see what seems like a mile of it at a time, and even hear the rapids thousands of feet underneath you. All in all--if you think you know the Grand Canyon, this is an alternative perspective in every way you can imagine.

The tour is already $45 but you have to go in with the guide. They yell at you to get to one side and even grab you to move you sometimes. There was a guy that wasn't a part of our group that got yelled at for walking to slow. He turned around and told the tour lady he was taking a picture and she said she he stopped and held up the line. He was getting mad saying what's the point of coming in here if not for pictures. There's only one way in and one way out. As you're walking in there's other people exiting and squeezing through. You're limited to taking one photo at each spot and if it doesn't Come out good they tell you too bad you should've had your camera settings right. The tour lady pushed me to the side of the wall at one point as she screamed at everyone to get to the right. There's a photography tour price of $160 which looks like they get better treatment. They block the tourists so the photographers could get their shots. If you ask me there's too many people inside at once. We came here back in 2007 and there wasn't nearly as many people inside so you had some wiggle room. I think the Navajos are being a bit greedy trying to fit all these tours in. They should limit how many people go in per hour so you could at least breathe and enjoy it. The tour lady wasn't the only one yelling. The other tour guys were also yelling at their people. I understand everyone wants a picture but there's no need to be rude. Maybe if they managed their tours better for the crowd control they wouldn't have to be like this. At one point I heard the tour lady say a bunch of us were being annoying. Geez if this place wasn't so nice I doubt people would come. I keep reading the lower AC is better. I will have to check it out. For now I don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless you are prepared to be rushed and crammed into tight spaces. Or perhaps you enjoyed being yelled at and stressed throughout your trip. They even ask for tips after it's over... It's not like they don't make money off of this place already. Shaking my head...
