Visiting Antelope Canyon should be one of your lifelong dreams. It’s an extraordinary place that makes you feel just how infinite and magnificent this world is. The tour is beautiful and well-organized. The guides play music, are patient, and are kind. They help you connect with the place. They take care of the environment and the site: you can only bring in a water bottle and a cell phone—no bags. I recommend wearing a water bottle around your neck so your hands are free. I also recommend wearing your cell phone on a lanyard. You’ll need your hands free for the tour.

Our tour guide was so helpful with how to get the best photos, taking group photos, explaining the geology, and sharing with us how the water impacts the canyon. This is a must see gem in Arizona for travelers. The Grand Canyon is spectacular, but this is on a wholly different impact -- something that you can touch and feel. I am so glad that I came -- this experience is a must.

There was no pressure and no rush. Our guide gave some history and current information relevant to the canyon, it was genuine conversation not tour guide speech.
