It was very misleading to charge 65 dollars just for transfer and then charge separate 65 dollars for the entrance...when I was booking the trip it looked like I was paying for admission and not for transfer. Also, they should put some fans.. on the back of the pick up trucks as it gets so hot in that enclosed space and you guys put us there and made us wait for like 25 minRead full review
Where to start. I read the reviews before and understood that this will be my last option and indeed it was. Pick up from Excalibur at 5 am. We were there by 4:45. Our tour guide Henry came around 5. He called out names. Then the bus came a..round 5:10. We thought that’s just a bus to transfer us to the main bus because there was no toilet and it was the most old rickety bus you can imagine.
Bus had no seat belts across, no AC all over. The AC was so poor that people weee suffocating in the afternoon.
Anyways next stop was Bally’s where the bus filled up. We left for horse shoe bend. Henry mentioned first stop was after 2 hrs. So no breakfast no bathroom for 2 hrs. I know he had mentioned in a text the previous night about this but still this was ridiculous for the $300 we paid.
We stopped at a gas station everybody rushed to rest room and bought any food they could. No cup holders so no open coffee cups. Then we stopped little before horse shoe bend. We reached horse shoe bend around 10:30. We were given around 50 mins. Horse shoe vend was spectacular. Lot has changed from the last time I was there in 2012. There were no railings before. Now there were guarded railings on the edge.
Then we started for antelope canyon. We were asked to give $3 per person to the Navajo guide. It was like a tip but I was really ****** off and didn’t want to give. The tour was so rushed. Our guide was of no use. He just wanted to finish off the tour somehow. He wasn’t allowing to take pictures and didn’t offer to take pictures for anyone and just kept rushing us. I saw other tour guides specially few ladies who were helping to take pics and giving time. It was so rushed that we didn’t like the antelope canyon. We didn’t get time to absorb the beauty. I had visited lower antelope canyon before and that was much more pretty.
After antelope, stop was for food. We had paid $10 per person for sandwich. They should have told us before that it was a subway stop. We wouldn’t have paid $10. Why pay $10 for a 6 inch sub of just raw vegetables???? Anyways we ordered more food. Next stop was another store where we took more food as the gas was being filled. We were back by 8 in the hotel.
The driver Mr Ting I believe was not good. He was driving very rash. In the morning I saw him lose control and go over to the opposite lane many times. He was busy trying to hook up his iPad and look something in he iPad and driving with one hand and losing control. Very irresponsible driver.
All in all it wasn’t worth the price.Read full review
Firstly let me say this tour did not disappoint. The scenery was spectacular, our tour guide Evan was interesting, knowledgeable and fun. The group was a great mix of young and old and we all bonded nicely.
Yes it’s a fast paced tour but ..you have to expect that in 3 days. Evan is passionate about the area and wants you to experience as much as possible.
Camping was great, sure it rained and was windy but what do you expect, we’re in the elements. The view of monument valley upon sunrise was worth it. There are lodging options if required.
We also visited a local family for dinner and the Navaho Jeep ride was great.
I travelled solo and was made to feel very welcome. All in all a fantastic tour. Would I recommend it? Hell yeah!!!

I have had the time of my life. It has been an amazing experience. I can't say how much I enjoyed it. Landscapes in the National Parks are breathtaking.
I joined the tour on my own but I met marvelous travel companions. I have to give a ver..y special mention for Chris (travel guide and driver). He made the difference of the tour. He is really professional and loves his work. All decisions he makes are for customers can take the most of the tour. He is wise, sensible, sensitive and really fun person!
I will have these memories in my heart and mind all my life.
This tour is really a good value for money. If by the way you are looking for a trip around Utah and Arizona, please don't hesitate to join the tour. You will have a terrific time without doubt!

Tour guide was really good and friendly with the group. Informative and a pleasant person.
Sound system can be improved by providing individual microphones or at least providing additional speakers at the rear end of the bus for clear aud..ibilityRead full review
Wow! Literally the most AMAZING experience! It was a mesmerizing tour, everyone in my group got window seats - the plane ride was smooth and the views were transcendent... mesmerizing....just wow. Worth every penny!
Esperienza da fare. Giro breve ma molto piacevole. Le guide aiutano a scattare le fotografie dalle angolazioni migliori. In particolare vorremmo ringraziare Andy, la nostra guida, molto simpatico e disponibile.
The tour guid was really nice, they provide water and it was nice. Before I book this tour I asked if there’s anymore to pay when I get to the Grand Canyon and she said, after paying this tour, I was told that I pay no more than $56.
But ..then when we get to the Grand Canyon. The tour guide asked for $83. Each passenger. So we have no choice but to pay. Not so happy about it.Read full review
