Fantastic tour for only three days. The Team have put a lot of thought into this extensive itinerary...we covered a lotta miles/kilometres but saw the most impressive sites/parks. Our guide Alex was friendly, informative, patient and profes..sional with the guests. Thanks for a trip we will remember (with the help of lots of great photos) for years to come. Kind Regards Read full review
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!!!

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
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
Very difficult to reserve online, their website doesn’t work or update the newest information. The tour buss doesn’t have a working bathroom, also the seat doesn’t move back. Anyways you get what do you pay for . Overall a long ride a..round 9.5 hours to see the Antelope canyon spend 1 hour and horseshoe bend 1 hourRead full review
Dennis, our tour guide gave excellent service. He is very good at his job and very proficient in both english & mandarin guide on the sites we visited. Pick up & drop off schedule are both on time.
Frank Jia is a very experienced tour guide. Our tour is arranged in a van about 12 people, so it is less crowded. His car was spotless and offered us water. The 5 hours of the drive is very comfortable in his car. Everything he explained in.. English and Chinese clearly, that made my parents who don't speak English much enjoyed the tour!
He is good at the timing arrangement for the Upper Antelope Canyon so that we caught the sunlight time during our whole 1 hr in the canyon. His trip has a plus that, includes a food plaza which has many restaurant options. In the backway, he arranged a stop at a supermarket, that let us can do some shopping for other needs.
Also, we lost our coat on his van, and we contacted him. He found it when he cleaned his van and delivered to us another day on his off-work day! Many thanks for having our coat back again! We like to pick Frank again if we had friends go there!Read full review
