INCREDIBLE experience... our guide, Vere, was a vault of information and turned what would have been a great tour on uts own, just absolutely fabulous.
Just to clarify, that if you want to visit this place, you must have a tour. That requires the tourist format and crowds that come with such a format. There are some extreme demands about how you have to check in an hour before, if not, you.. lose your spot and your money as they do not do refunds. This means they are going to sell your spot to a person at the gates and you do not get your money back. Even with the paid vouchers it still took 15 minutes to check in. You still have to pay in cash for the Indian tribe fee, 8 bucks a person.The company also does some maintenance to make it easier to walkthru by adding dirt to level the floor out some. A few ladders in and out that can be steep, but they are ladders and have handrails. The tour is actually short, an hour roughly. Staging people into groups and off you go 40 or so people at a time, every half hour. There is another guide company doing the same thing it seemed. What was great for us is that we had a good tour guide. That person gives you tidbits of information along the way, this also helps separate the groups as you go through the canyon. Our guide was excellent in attitude and friendliness. The guides second responsibility seems to be, taking pictures with your camera of you, along the way at several locations which is obviously a great thing. They also suggest what settings you should have on your cameras or cell phones to get best pictures. Now, the Canyon itself, was very majestic and at the end I had seen enough. Tip your guide a few bucks at the end.Read full review
I recently took this tour with 3 friends. The entire tour consisted of only 13 so people were very friendly. We were lucky to get Marie Easton as our driver and guide. She was fabulous! She took very good care of us the entire time. We saw ..scenery that was unbelievable! Make sure you take the optional Lower Antelope Canyon tour. Having been out west several times before and experienced the beauty, I guarantee that you will be blown away! Marie provided delicious food, and our accommodations, while not fancy, were comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this trip!Read full review
Wow! First, our tour guide, Alex, was so knowledgeable. I loved his narration which included geological details as well as anthropology and much more. He was so organised and nothing seemed to phase him. The whole package of iconic sites, c..amping and meeting new people was truly one of my favourite travelling moments. All of the locations were amazing but Monument Valley was super special for me. The extra activities which included a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon (the combined visual spectacle and music playlist overwhelmed me - wonderful,) a hummer offroad experience (so much giggling - thank you Ryan) and Antelope Canyon (totally magical) were impressive. Yay and well done!!Read full review
We arrived early as instructed and was able to join an earlier group tour which worked out perfect. The truck ride out to the canyon was fun and cool. Our tour guide, Mo, was super nice and full of good knowledge about UAC. He advised great.. photo opportunities and even took photos for us. I feel like I had a 5 star tour and didn’t miss a thing. Customer service was great from beginning to end. I would totally recommend this company to my friends and would book with them again without hesitation. Thank you for a top knot head tour.Read full review
There was no excitement or welcome attitude from the tour guide Dennis. Explanations were not clear. He presumed that we know the area, but we don't.He gavel us limited informations on what we have to do on the bus stopped area. Lunch box ..was incomplete, missing the dessert fruit and the water was given only when I asked about it. No apology was expressed. He also did not dress up as a tour guide. He was dressed like going to a ball game. The driver was also speeding and it was pretty scary because it was a long stretched of winding roads and humpy roadRead full review
We arrived safely & upper Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe bend was great, but the bus was old & didn't have a working bathroom and the tour guide was either insensitive or a little ignorant of Native American culture. Also, they had us travel ..to meet up with the bus only to be transported by a van to the bus which later made a pick up at the hotel we were staying at. When we informed the tour guide of this she asked why we traveled so far. We explained that that was the pick up stop that we were texted. She did apologize, but upon returning we had to ask to get off at a closer stop to our hotel.Read full review
100% National Park 3 Day Tour - Great trip - really enjoyable

We chose the lodging option so stayed in hotels for the 2 nights of this trip. We had a great bunch of people on the tour from the UK, US, Australia and NZ and Chris was our tour leader. He was great, provided loads of great information and.. brought fun to the tour. We really enjoyed seeing Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Glen Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and parts of Route 66 on our way back to Las Vegas.
The days are full on - early starts with days finishing about 7pm - apart from last day which is about 8-8.30 pm. However there are loads of opportunities during the day to stretch legs and have a break from the minibus - this is in addition to the longer breaks for going on trails/walks at the National Parks/Canyons. We did not do any of the optional tours but Antelope Canyon seemed to have been really good,
The pre-tour communication from them was really good and helpful in terms of clothing to bring and what to pack. The bags go in a trailer behind the bus - so I would recommend keeping suitcase sizes small if possible. I know that some tour members kept their main suitcases at their respective hotels in Las Vegas and just brought the equivalent of carry on suitcases on the tour. Chris arranged for all the suitcases to be delivered to our hotel room both nights which was really helpful.
We are new to doing tours but delighted that we found Tours and highly recommend them.Read full review
The canyon is breathtaking, the guide was amazing. We didn't like being charged $8 cash/each in addition to the ticket price, on arrival, plus another $2 each on top of it. Also, there are way too many people in the canyon at the same tim..e. And then there was a photography group. We paid prime price too, yet had to wait for and work around them.Read full review
