Overall rating

4.8 / 5

based on 886 reviews

It was a very early pick-up time, 6am and had to be at the pickup point around 5:45. Long hours "sitting down" in a bus to get and come back (4.5 hours each way). Antelope Canyon X is the best of lower and higher because it has both features of the individual ones. Do not bring a lunch, there is a rest stop. There, a place called Bee's or something like that, they have hot a very nice homemade hot and cold prepared food (mini buffet) and al sorts of healthy options. Worth it - made my own salad with plenty of choice in veggies, cheeses, dressings, protein, etc.

Started with a confirmation via WhatsApp was great. We could arrange the meeting point first and then the pick up time, really professional. The trip was great. We really enjoy and love it. Thanks to our tour guide Marvin from National Park Exp , we really appreciate his good job. And thanks to the driver too, Oscar, he drove us safely and sound through the day.

Thank you for this wonderful experience. The tour has been very well organised from end-to-end, I discover breathtaking places and Kurt our tour guide was amazing !
