Caleb was an awesome guide. He took the time to explain the significance of each landmark and took some incredible photos for us. Well beyond anything I expected. He was doing some really cool shots with panoramas and different styles. He took the hike to an incredible level.

Our tour was amazing. Our tour guide was very patient and caring as we had small children and aging adults. He was very knowledgeable about the canyon sharing many interesting facts and features.

I'd been here before, but a sandstorm prevented me from enjoying it as much as I did this time. The canyon is fascinating. The shapes you can capture with the camera are endless, and the photo composition possibilities are endless. The guide, Mike Calamity, is an expert at showing you how to take photos, where to find the best spots, and how to adjust your phone’s camera settings to get the best shots. The guide’s kindness and professionalism make a huge difference in getting the most out of your visit to the canyon. It’s very easy to walk through, ideal for people who have trouble going down stairs.

The visit to Antelope Canyon was one of the best of my life. I am a world traveler so that says a lot. The guide was SUPER. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating, told us the history and took many photos of the guests . He is an expert on picture taking. Before we entered the Canyon, he helped folks set their phones and cameras to get the best pictures. This is the first tour I ever took this I did not want to end!! At the end, he informed us that he was the grandson of the 8 year old girl that discovered the canyon many years ago!!

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.
