Antelope Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Tour from Sedona & Flagstaff
Description
View the stunning images of the Navajo Nation, Glen Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Antelope Canyon X on this full day trip. Highlights include visiting two of the most stunning Southwest vistas, both Horseshoe Bend and Canyon X. You will walk out to Horseshoe Bend, which sits above the winding Colorado River, to get amazing photos and see why this vista got its name. In the afternoon, you will be astounded by the views in Antelope Canyon X, which change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. You will experience the beautiful color palette on the sandstone walls at the best time of day. Time is allotted for lunch on your own (not included in the cost of the tour). This slot canyon provides an amazing palette for changing light patterns throughout the day.

What I liked about this tour was pick-up and drop-off at the hotel of our choice. All you had to do was enjoy the landscape while your experienced tour guide took you to two world popular destinations in the van with an AC. I would like to thank our tour guide, Sheldon for his excellent handling of the wheel and tourists. He knows what tourists need and enjoy. He entertained us with all his knowledge of the landscape and informative talks throughout our tour. I was never bored an entire day. I joined this tour with my husband and for both of us English was our second language but he was kind enough to talk slowly and clearly and checked out to see if we had any questions. He was like a kindergarten teacher. He had this huge box filled with ice cold water bottles and asked if we need water. He told us when we stop for a toilet and even which toilet we should stop by. He timed our trip perfectly so we were never rushed when we visited two of our destinations. We enjoyed both of them thoroughly. This tour was not cheap but my husband and I both were more than satisfied with what we paid for. Highly recommended.
The views were amazing, but we felt so rushed the whole time! First, they picked us up late, so I think we were behind schedule. The first stop we were supposed to have 30 min, we only had 20 min to go to the bathroom and shop at the big trading post. Second place we were supposed to have an hour, we only had 50 min to go to the bathroom and see horseshoe bend which was breathtaking but we were so rushed we only had a few minutes there after hiking down and back up the path. Lunch was rushed as well. The canyon x was amazing and that’s the only place we didn’t feel rushed at! We were supposed to go have a brief stop at Glenn canyon dam, but our guide wouldn’t go there because it was ‘all the way across town’. So we didn’t even see everything we paid to see. We wish we would have driven ourselves so we wouldn’t have been so rushed through the whole day. Also, we were dropped off at our hotel earlier than planned so I know we had enough time to see the last landmark. I recommend you drive yourself if you don’t want to run through everything and not get a chance to enjoy it.
The facts are these: We have spoken to the other guests on this tour; they did not share your complaints or a stopwatch. This is a professionally designed tour involving multiple vendors covering 11 hours, you could not on your own have acheived all the elements, and guaranteed seats in an equitable experience. Having spoken with the other guests and the guide, we found your initial communication to us without merit but because of our longstanding successful 20 year relationship with Viator, we provided you with a discount. You were so appreciative and grateful that you then posted this less than accurate review. You clearly had no regard for our tour, our efforts, our professionalism and our courtesy. This kind of behavior makes accommodating a real situation with future guests more complicated.
We all loved the tour. The Canyon was breathtaking and was beautiful. I would recommend everyone visiting this place. Our tour guide, Jake, knows the whole history about the entire state and knew the names of all Native 9ndiam tribes, mountains, things to ser and do in the area. He was amazing.
This excursion was amazing! Our guide Al was very knowledgeable of the area. If I could give it six stars i would.
Andrea was an excellent guide, horseshoe bend and antelope canyon are indescribable, we enjoyed the entire trip.
Outstanding tours with outstanding Jews and very knowledgeable guide. Once and a lifetime views and experience.
I highly recommend this tour, our guides were knowledgeable and answered all the questions asked. Well organized and coordinated. Pick up and drop was coordinated and on time. The sights going to and visited location were incredible.
Tour guide was excellent, very informative and personable. Views were exquisite- a great day. Communication from the Viator was fantastic, from the booking, to follow up to pickup.
Navajo guide Lenoi is a great one. He helped us with all the pictures and played the flute. Jeff our driver and tour guide was exceptional.
Antelope Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend were both breathtaking! Should be on everyone’s bucket list. Andrea our tour guide was simply amazing. She gave us new information about the Navajo culture and the surroundings. She really took good care of us, making sure we get enough cold water to take with us during the hikes. It shows that she loves her job! Also booking with Viator was easy and was constantly in touch as the day of the tour was getting near.
