Benson was a friendly, helpful, tour guide, and definitely enhanced our experience. We loved everything about it! He even took pictures of everyone, in individual groups, and did a fabulous job! Give that young man a raise!

Even now, back home, I still remember my trip to Antelope Canyon... an incredible landscape with shapes and colors I'd never seen before, and the guides and organizers were top-notch. I'd do it all over again if I could. Thank you very much.

The tour was perfect for our family (small Kids) to navigate. The canyon is beautiful and our guide, Ethel, was phenomenal. She was a wealth of knowledge, a fantastic photographer, and even gave us a tutorial on the Navajo language. Highly recommend!!

An Unforgettable Day Trip — Outstanding Guide! "From the Strip to the Canyon — A Flawless Experience!" I recently did the full-day bus tour from Las Vegas to Lower Antelope Canyon, and it was hands down one of the best travel experiences I've ever had — and a huge part of that credit goes to our incredible tour guide "Mama". From the moment we boarded the bus in Las Vegas, our guide set the perfect tone for the day — warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the destination. The long drive never felt tedious because of the fascinating commentary shared along the way about the landscape, the Navajo Nation, and the history of the canyon . But what truly stood out was the effort our guide put into making sure everyone in the group got amazing photographs. Lower Antelope Canyon's narrow corridors and the way light plays on the sandstone walls can be tricky to capture, and our tour operator expertly pointed out the best angles, lighting conditions, and spots for that perfect shot. Not stopping there, they personally went around clicking wonderful pictures of each person in the group — everyone walked away with stunning memories they could actually keep . The return journey back to Vegas was just as pleasant — the group was buzzing with excitement, swapping photos and stories. Our guide "Mama" made sure everyone was comfortable and accounted for throughout the trip. If you're visiting Las Vegas and are looking for a day trip that combines natural wonder with top-notch hospitality, look no further. I would strongly recommend this tour and this guide to anyone — 10 stars if I could! 🌟

Secret Canyon's beauty is beyond words. You have to visit this slot canyon to really appreciate how magnificent it is. I thoroughly enjoyed our local tour guide Kenni and her stories about the local clan. Plus she helped us take the best pictures.
