Upper Antelope Canyon was incredibly beautiful and we loved learning about how these wavy designs were created. Our guide Leland was fantastic. The best thing was that at each of the cul spots in the canyon, he took each of our phones and adjusted settings to take the most incredible shots, many of which with my husband and me in them. He is an amazing photographer and have us a great gift of stunning pictures on our own phones. I highly recommend the tour and Leland.

Our guide, Tyrone was unbelievable! He posed us for photo ops, helped us with photography, and gave us historical and geographical information.. We have referred friends to this tour group, and suggested they ask for one of Tyrone's tours. Also, the tour start center was very close to the the canyon, so very little time was spent in a vehicle to reach the site.

Very beautiful natural wonder and easier access to walk through the canyon. However, the cost is a double of the lower canyon. I personally liked the lower canyon as it's more adventurous if you don't mind to climb up and down to the steps to pass through the canyon. Both upper and lower have amazing views and formations.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Headout. Received ongoing communication from Headout as well as online chats clarifying any concerns I had. For the actual tour of the Antelope Canyon it was stunning! Our Guide Leland Yellowhorse was informative, funny, respectful and took some amazing pictures of us.

Lemoyne was our guide and I would recommend him as an outstanding guide that made our tour truly memorable and wanting us all to come back and explore the canyon during all the seasons! He was interesting and captivating as he taught us the history and geology of the canyon. He made sure we were on proper settings of our cameras to capture beautiful photos that will be treasured along with taking photos of entire families. He was informative, patient, kind and generous of his talents to all of us.

Absolutely breathtaking! The sheer beauty of the canyon was almost too much. Our guide was great, I do wish I could have heard what she was saying, if you are towards the back you couldn't hear much. However, the facts and traditions I did hear about were very interesting. The tour was everything I had hoped it would be!

The place is magical. We were honored to visit your land. Sue is an AMAZING guide, patient and informative. Although: We felt rushed through the process. Our group had 16 people and we were sandwiched between two other similar size groups. Sue is not to blame, it is the tour companies booking too many people at the same time.

We had a great experience with our tour guide Lamar at Ken's Lower Antelope Canyon tours. I wasn't able to book directly through the company, but Head Out had availability. Lamar was knowledgeable, friendly, and also played a bit of his Navajo flute (as he called it). He provided camera tips to get the best pictures. You'll want to take 1,000 of them, every angle looks unreal. Make sure to be 30 mins early or you might get bumped to the next tour, if it's available. They do a pretty good job at spacing out the groups. Ours was 12. No bags allowed. About 1/4 mile total and a good bit of stairs, some are steep and you take down like a ladder.

Everything on time and schedule, smooth trip. Tour guide were nice and clear. Even though long hours road trip but worth it. Lunch Sandwich taste good , didn't have any expectation at the beginning but it was good. There have a short break in the middle of the way at the supermarket also when you get back to Vegas, they will stop at the same supermarket that you can grab some groceries when on the way back to hotel, or a sandwich for quick dinner ! This time I went for lower antelope Canyon, will join again next time for the upper or antelope X. Highly recommended

It was an enjoyable experience with our guide Cheydon at Ken Tours. The canyons as expected were breathtakingly beautiful. The way down was a bit steep and claustrophobic but nothing terrible. Cheydon was happy answering all our questions and sharing interesting facts. He is an excellent photographer as well. Once we came out, he also explained separately with a demo as to how these rocks are formed over the years.

I was thankful that I heard another tour guide telling his group what setting to use on your phone.

We toured Antelope Canyon X in late March. Our guide Ethel, with Taadidiin Tours, was extremely knowledgeable about how the slot canyons were made by water and erosion of the soft sandstone. She also had a demonstration showing how sandstone is created. Ethel had no problem explaining things to the younger guests as well, as she was very patient. She also took panoramic photos, with our camera, of our party in the slot canyon. The sheer beauty of the slot canyons can't be accurately described by words alone. It's a must see, in person!

The views were great but there were so many people that I could not get good photos. If they staggered the starting time of each van load the Canyon would not be as crowded. Numerous times we had to stand around and wait for the previous group to move out of the way so we could get through. Very over crowded.

Phenomenal light beams
Upper Antelope Canyon is famous for its incredible light beams that stream down through the cracks in the rock formations above. These beams create a magical atmosphere, especially during midday, when the sun’s right above you.
About Upper Antelope Canyon
The Upper Antelope Canyon was formed through the erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and other natural processes over thousands of years. This erosion shaped the canyon walls into smooth, flowing forms that are visually striking.
Height: The canyon walls reach heights of up to 120 feet.
Layout: Its layout resembles the letter "A," being wider at the base and narrowing towards the top.
Navajo name:Tsé bighánílíní, which translates to "the place where water runs through rocks."

Our experience was amazing. Our guide Ethel was phenomenal and went out of her way to make sure everyone had a wonderful time. One of the guests with us had a leg amputation and the journey back was difficult and our guide ensured that she was properly taken care of. We will be back!

Check in process was easy. Our guide didn't give us much info and didn't seem too excited but the views were amazing. I was thankful that I heard another tour guide telling his group what setting to use on your phone. I was thankful that our guide has done so many picture and knew exactly where the best pictures would be. I would recommend this tour and hopefully get a different guide that shared more information about the canyon.

We had a very good time, our guide Leander was really knowledgeable about all aspects of what he was showing us. Recommended camera settings and gave insights to great photos. I hope to return to property. To be honest I didn't do to much photography, wife's department, I was walking around pretty amazed especially about the history of different canyon uses. Once again I'll be back.

We had an excellent guide, Larry. His knowledge of Monument Valley was evident, and he gave us enough time at each stop...it never felt rushed. He even gave a flute performance and taught us some photography tricks!
