The canyon was much different than the Lower Canyon experience. We waited awhile to actually go on the tour. JR was excellent. Helped us take pictures and was happy to take pictures for us. He was very knowledgeable. Canyon was much darker for taking pictures than the lower.

Sunny, our guide was very informative and helped us to take good pictures. The group was about 12 people and even though other groups were there, it didn’t seem crowded

Do not vote through this company for antelope Canyon
Steven_D, Dec 2022
Do not book through this company! The people at antelope Canyon do not recognize this company as part of their service and they will turn you away. This company is just taking your money. I was lucky enough that the ladies at the Navajo tour company helped me out and got me a refund, but you may not be so lucky in the future.

We are not sure what you mean, as we work with them on a daily basis, with many guests. Please contact us directly to share with us what you experienced.
I don’t understand why...
Jenny_T, Nov 2022
I don’t understand why the tour operator would wait until the day before to send the ticket and instructions when we made and paid for the tours months before. I called to follow up 3 days before the tour date and they are too busy to talk to me!! On the tour day itself the guide was rushing us from picture taking to walking back to the bus!!!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it and always try to make the best experience possible.
Wonderful experience

Sandra_B, Nov 2022
We drove 4hrs from Sedona to Upper Antelope Canyon & then the tour was cancelled due to weather..
Very disappointed… Would have been nice to have been notified earlier…
Response from Host, Nov 2022

Awesome!

Everything was memorable…we were awed, amazed and mesmerized at God’s amazing creation. Pictures cannot give justice to it’s beauty, one has to be there to experience these feelings.

Don't miss it!

Antelope Canyon is one of the most amazing places on earth. Our guide, Tim, was excellent at explaining what we were seeing. He also showed everyone where to stand to take fantastic photos. Periodically, he'd stop and take pictures of each traveling party in the group with their cameras. Well worth it!
Response from Host, Oct 2022
We are happy you could experience this amazing place! Thank you for booking Antelope Canyon with us. We hope to see you again.

Very unhappy with the open air transportation. Grit/sand got on our faces/eyes.😡
The other company I used last time was en closed. I will use them next time. I also filled the wavier out on line , they made us do it again and it showed after I did it the first time. That I was confirmed. 😤
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Glad the slot canyon was great. Sorry you did not enjoy the vehicle to the entrance of the canyon.
Poor customer relations

Got to upper canyon as ticket stated to find out I’m at wrong location. (GPS took me to a. Tour location FYI )Couldn’t call Viator for answers Person there couldn’t help me. Called another company for address arrive to correct location to be rushed as I my inconvenience is now an inconvenience to them. I explained situation they. Gave me 20 seconds or they will leave us. Stating its not there fault it the other company fault. Ie viator.as they keep doing this giving wrong address or no address. They will contact the company. It’s all business no customer relations here

Upper Antelope Canyon was...
Joan_Z, Oct 2022
Upper Antelope Canyon was an amazing experience and every bit as magical as the iconic images I've seen.
Viator, the ticket seller, at best provides incomplete and confusing info. Such as where to meet the tour. Viator did NOT include the name, phone #, or address of the transport/guide company. The directions sent us directly to the entry to the canyon. Had the woman from another tour company not directed us back to Paige we'd have missed the tour, lost $537 and driven 6 hrs for no reason.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
We are glad that we could help you find the location and join the tour. Thank you for your review.
Fabulous & Beautiful!

Exceptional experience. We had a wonderful young female tour guide that went out of her way to make sure we got great pictures. Only problem was the large crowds moving through the canyon
