The tour for some reason concentrated more for the Chinese travelers and the guide translated every communication. The tour bus is the deceiving part, it sure is a Volvo bus but a very old one and bad condition. Not clean and the Chinese dr..iver focusing more on people making mess of the bus. To add to this someone removed their shoes and the bus started to stink with no proper air circulation. The intermediate stop was at a gas station(again Chinese) that did not have a restaurant for a quick grab. I wish they had stopped in the some designated rest areas that had some food options and better toilets. Even the lunch break was in a Chinese buffet when there were plenty of options around. Lucky for us there was Burger king and Subway at walking distance but had to rush to make it back to the bus in time.
The tour itself was good with a quick 45 mins of the Scenic Upper Antelope Canyon and an hour at the horseshoe bend (technically 10 mins since the hike from the stop to the view was a good 20+ mins and we had to return to the bus within an hour). I just wished the guide and the tour was more friendly and concentrated on the fact that people should enjoy the trip rather than just doing there day job. The worst was the enforced tips of $10 per person as a service fee. If it is a service fee it should have been along with the booking and not taking in cash without reporting it. People will happily tip if the service is good. This was more like we do not care what you think just pay us 10 bucks each.
Keeping these aside, Both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe bend were amazing. Stick to the Antelope Canyon Guide(Navajo's own guide takes you inside the Canyon) and listen to what he says to have an amazing time inside the Canyon. Tour will be rushed considering the crowd but worth the money you spend it there. Make sure you give yourself some ample amount of time at the Horseshoe Bend, it is breath taking site and spent well.Read full review
The touring method at the antelope canyon was pretty restricted. The whole tour lasted approximately 45 minutes and we basically had to follow the tour guide closely during the entire tour. This might be due to the high number of visitors t..o the canyon. Due to the logistical arrangement, we have to take photos at all the "designated" spot and hush to the next spot. All in all, we did not get to really enjoy the antelope canyon scenery at our own pace as I prefer to take my own time whenever I am visiting somewhere new.
The horseshoe bend tour was better. The tour guide brought us there and we stayed there for about an hour. The time allocation was good and we got to walk around freely to take photos.Read full review
This tour was so amazing! I was looking forward to it so much and it did not disappoint! It exceeded our expectations. We loved everything about it and our guide was full of knowledge, laughs and energy. She was great! Would 100% recomm..end!Read full review
The trip was well-priced and accommodating for all traveling. I am giving a 4 star because the bus was having "issues" with a severe leak of fluid on the ground under the back of the bus. This delayed our return by almost 2 hours (stopping ..for refilling of fluids). Bus was not temperature controlled inside; never cool. We were lucky it was not a hot day. Would recommend.Read full review
The tour was a great experience but felt too rushed due to other tours that were scheduled at the same time. The tour guide was also a bit too pushy and could have been a bit more understanding as some of the tourists were older with limit..ed English.Read full review
The view is nice but the tour guide we got is not very nice. We even tipped her $40 at the beginning but she is definitely not worth it. Rush us all the time and won’t let us take pictures one by one. She said we have a lot of people and ..hard to control. If you don’t have that ability then shouldn’t have that many people in your tour.Read full review
