Brad was a very...

William_R, Mar 2026
Brad was a very knowledgeable guide for the drive to and from the slot canyons. Ethel at the canyon helped us take some great photos that will likely end up as canvas prints on our walls. I highly recommend this tour (slot canyon X) as the groups going in are smaller than the other slot canyon tours.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Guest..Any photo is a great idea for going on a wall.  It is so beautiful and unique.  We hope you enjoy all your photos and they continue to remind you of your great experience with us.  Antelope Canyon X is less crowded and beautiful as all the other slot canyons.

The views were amazing

Melissa_H, Mar 2026
It was a wonderful experience. The sights were breath-taking and each of our guides along the way were so curious and informative. It was so much to see seamlessly, making it a wonderful day.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Seamless and Wonderful are our goals!  Antelope Canyon really is breathtaking and we are so grateful to be able to share that experience with you

A Day to Remember !

Shaifali_S, Nov 2025
Its a Very enjoyable tour that covers all of the prime spots like Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam and Antelope Canyon in a day. Our tour guide and driver Brian was great, shared a lot of stories, interesting facts and history of the natives. They also provide a wholesome meal for lunch. Overall, a great way to cover the Antelope Canyon in a day long tour from Sedona.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Dear 5Star guest: Antelop Canyon is not to be missed. We do work alot into the tour itinerary to maximize your day with us. Brian loves guiding this tour for viistors to the area. It is a great way to see this wonder. Thanks for the 5 Stars

Antelope canyon and horseshoe bend tour

Nadine_S, Oct 2025
Amazing trip but be ready for the long drive Horseshoe Bend was great Got there early enough that it wasn’t crowded Antelope Canyon and our guide , Ethel, at Canyon X Tours was an incredible experience Lunch was OK but it wasn’t a box lunch and view from the restaurant was great Our Arizona Tours guide, Brad, was incredibly knowledge about the geology and culture in the area Overall highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

The Navajo guide in...

Kallie_H, Aug 2025
The Navajo guide in antelope Canyon was super informative, a great storyteller, and great picture taker. The canyon was super pretty, and he made sure to point out the best spots to take pictures.

10 out of 10!

Amber_T, Jul 2025
Everything ran smoothly! Prompt pickup from my hotel and our tour guide Al was very knowledgeable. The views at Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon were amazing. Lunch was provided as well as plenty of water which was needed. The only stop that felt rushed was at the Cameron trading post, however I was still able to try the famous fry bread and get some handmade jewelry. The guide at Antelope Canyon, Letisha, was also great! Very informative and helpful with taking the most amazing photos.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear guest 5 stars and 10 out of 10 ! Wow! Thanks for taking a moment to share this wonderful review. Delighted u enjoyed it

Best experience

Akiscia_B, May 2024
One of the best experiences I’ve had traveling! Definitely worth the trip, time, and money. I will definitely go back.

Beautiful but bouncy

Jana_E, Dec 2023
I have a lot of great things to say about this attraction. The canyon is breathtaking. The short hike to the horseshoe trail was pleasant and the views are spectacular. However, I recommend you ask the tour company if they actually have usb chargers and a working van. My seatbelt and the one next to my seat did not work and it is a long ride without one. The driver Al was very animated but he spoke with a microphone very rapidly nonstop from 6am to 6pm. It was overwhelming. The lunch was a sandwich-just ok and we were rushed everywhere we went. 25 minutes for a restaurant lunch, Even the drive there was rushed. I want to share that these vans are extremely bouncy and the roads are switchbacks and paved with bumps so it makes for a very sickening experience for 3 hours. Again I was extremely impressed with the scenery and the views but I don’t recommend this type of transport for anyone who has motion sickness or back problems. I don’t regret going, but if I were to do it over again, I would make a different transportation plan. It was pretty rough.

Amazing views and tour guide

Adriana_K, Oct 2023
Such a wonderful time!!! Unbelievable sites to see- very worth the long day. Jason was such a great tour guide! He is so friendly and very knowledgeable. We would love to do a different tour with him.

Wonderful tour!

Susan_W, Oct 2023
First the drive up 89A. Beautiful. Horseshoe bend was great but Antelope Canyon was beyond expectations. While the walk down and back up are somewhat steep, my husband and I made it. Our tour guide, Stanton, was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the additional stops along the way. Such as the Trading Post on the Reservation. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy the tour rather than drive it.

Amazing and unforgettable tour

Lorna_B, Oct 2023
The amazing scenery’s and great guide. The contact between client and tour company was very professional and kept us us to date with pertinent information.

Definitely a must do!

Linda_I, Sep 2023
Al was a fantastic guide and did a great commentary on the area as we drove from Sedona to the canyon. He was very attentive and took pictures of us at Horseshoe Bend so we didn’t have to rely only on selfies. The tour was exceptional.

Great experience

Jennifer_L, Jul 2023

Malia_G, Jun 2023
We had the best tour guide, Smokey Mike, who had so much knowledge of Arizona’s history and made the long car ride from Sedona to Page so enjoyable! The views could not be beat and also learned some new camera settings on my phone; a win win!! Would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

Nice tour

hruparel2000, May 2023
Great Experience , I would recommend everyone. Try to go in moderate weather, stay hydrated and wear sunscreen.

Amazing experience

Elina_G, May 2023
Steve was an incredible guide who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He made the entire trip very enjoyable. The Horseshoe Bend and Canyon X were both mesmerizing in their own way. Overall amazing experience!

Antelope canyon x is...

Rhonda_P, May 2023
Antelope canyon x is breathtaking definitely a must see. We got to see a lot and our guide Van was incredible

Glad I did it.

TeddV_B, May 2023
Our tour guide Steve was very knowledgeable with I information all along the way which made the long drive better. The canyon part was smaller than I expected but still very cool to see.

Picture perfect excursion!

Byron_T, May 2023
Sit back, relax and enjoy your ride through some of the most beautiful northern AZ terrains. Our guide, Jeff, was friendly, professional and shared so many interesting stories about the people and places we passed along our scenic journey to Canyon X. The ride was comfortable, there was plenty of water and lunch was fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends looking to explore N. AZ.

AMAZING!!

Denise_P, Apr 2023
It was very scenic and informative. Our guide, Smokey, shared and showed so many views and history. He was also a very safe driver which allowed us to nap. It is a long day but worth it!

Enjoyable tour

KatherineB, Apr 2023
Bobby was an excellent tour guide. He shared lots of information, keeping us entertained during the drives between stops. I booked this because Antelope Canyon is someplace I have wanted to visit for a while but I really enjoyed the stop at Horseshoe Bend too. Both are breathtaking. Everyone on our tour enjoyed it.

Great experience

Mary_V, Apr 2023
We really appreciated being picked up at our hotel. We enjoyed the stops that allowed us to shop. Having water provided was great. The van was comfortable but the roads were bumpy. Horse Shoe Bend and Antelope Canyon were awesome. Now about Brad. He introduced each group of as they got on the van. This made me more comfortable with joining the group. His knowledge of the history and geology was impressive. We learned so much from him. He was attentive of our comfort and needs, asking if we needed to stop. Brad is a great asset to your company.

Excellent trip

Ana_K, Apr 2023
Great experience! Our guide Smokey Mike is very knowledgeable about the area, enjoyed his company as well. Good stops and delicious lunch.

The canyon was wonderful....

Barbara_P, Apr 2023
The canyon was wonderful. The tour was great. However, our guide did not tell us any of the history of the canyon itself. How it was formed, how old it is. She was extremely helpful with our camera settings on our phones etc. again I wanted more history of the area and the canyon itself. I would also have liked more info of the Native American tribes in the area.

Must do!

Ashley_R, Apr 2023
This tour covers a ton of ground. It was absolutely awesome. Antelope canyon and Horseshoe bend are a must see!

Fantastic views, great history

Leslie_M, Apr 2023
A long day, but well worth it. The view of Horseshoe Bend is extraordinary and exploring Antelope Canyon X is something we won't forget. Every bit as pretty as the images online! Our guide (Steve) from Great West Tours was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Gave us a lot of background information, but wasn't a "canned" script. Highly recommend this if you have an entire day to spend (6AM-6PM).

Stunning Horseshoe Bend & Antelope Canyon

Richard_P, Mar 2023
Bobby was a great guide with an extensive knowledge of the area and great stories to go with them. It was a great day out and Antelope Canyon was an experience!
