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.

This trip was so memorable. The instructions are very clear from the moment you buy your tickets. Everything is nicely signaled. The guides are highly knowledgeable and fun! A special shout-out to Josh for keeping us laughing and teaching us so much about this beautiful place. Being able to visit both upper and lower canyons was amazing! 10/10 recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful tour in Antelope Canyon X. Our guise Al was our guide and he was friendly, relaxing, informative, and had a sense of humor. He offered photo taking for all the people in our group. It was a very sunny and hot day. Al also offered a complimentary bottle of cold water. He looked like an angel. Highly recommended.

The scenery was as beautiful as we had hoped. Our tour guide and driver, Ro, was excellent. I wish we had visited both the Upper and Lower canyons.
