What a fantastic day heading to Grand Canyon seeing a beautiful sunrise and took amazing pictures in Antelope. It’s really great to meet with tour guide Andy and Saki who are very nice and it’s appreciated they help us to take pretty photos . Have a nice day:)

guide: Mama and John were both excellent tour guides and drivers. They interchanged their roles during the 12 hours tour. breaks: as locations were far, we were limited to 2 stop breaks although there are toilets to use at the various arraction spots. Mama made sure we followed a tight schedule and I really didnt mind (her bossiness 😂) as we managed to see all the attractions in good time and had sufficient time to take photos. attractions on the way: it was an extremely scenice drive although you really cant help but take naps itinerary: we were picked up before 5 am and drove for at least 4 hours across Utah, Arizona and Nevada before crossing the Glenn Canyon Dam, reaching the hiking point of horseshoe bend and eventually to the lower antelope canyon. group size: we had a huge group of 60 passengers and I wasn’t expecting that as I hoped for a smaller intimate group so this was the only down side

Picked up at Horseshoe Hotel at 4:50 (originally scheduled for 5:05, but we got a message in the morning saying the bus would arrive at 4:50, so everyone definitely needs to be ready early!). Finished around 19:00 in the evening (not sure if it's because everyone was punctual, but the guide said we finished 40 minutes ahead of schedule). Spent 9 hours on the bus the whole day, with one supermarket stop each way. Lunch included something like a submarine sandwich. We had about an hour each at Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. It felt a bit rushed, trying to juggle taking photos while fully appreciating this breathtaking natural wonder, but overall it was still pretty great! I think it was quite worth it. The tour guide occasionally told little stories on the bus about Las Vegas or Antelope Canyon. ❗️ (Everyone, remember to check whether the English-speaking or Chinese-speaking guide is cheaper. I was in a rush to pay and chose the English guide, which ended up being $10 more expensive than the Chinese guide!! 😭)

Byla to prohlídka od 4:30 ráno do 21:30 večer, ale v autobuse jsem si mohl několikrát zdřímnout během 1-2 hodinových přesunů mezi jednotlivými místy, takže jsem se necítil unavený, spíše jsem si odpočinul. Řidič a průvodce byl Japonec, řídil skvěle a celá prohlídka byla bezpečná. K obědu nám připravili sendviče, jablka a bramborové lupínky a každé dvě hodiny jsme měli přestávku na benzínové pumpě, kde jsme si mohli koupit spoustu nápojů, sladkostí a jídla, což bylo skvělé. Všechna místa nabízela nádherné výhledy, které člověk vidí možná jednou za život, a myslím, že byste se této prohlídky rozhodně měli zúčastnit! I když to bylo dlouhé, vůbec jsem to necítil a den utekl jako voda!

Průvodce Justin byl opravdu nesmírně pozorný, pečlivý a velmi zodpovědný! Celou cestu se staral o každého cestujícího a jakmile měl někdo nějaké přání, snažil se nám ve všem vyjít vstříc a pomoci! Za zmínku stojí zejména to, že Justin pečlivě připravil přehled menu pro obědy a večeře spolu s popisem specialit jednotlivých restaurací, abychom si mohli snadněji vybrat jídlo podle své chuti. Navíc pro nás speciálně zařídil „bonusový výlet za pozorováním hvězd“, což vneslo do původního programu nečekané a nezapomenutelné překvapení, z čehož jsme měli opravdu velkou radost! Dvoudenní program byl naplánován velmi plynule, čas na prohlídky památek, jídlo i odpočinek byl skvěle zvládnutý. Celý zájezd byl velmi obohacující, přitom však bez zbytečného stresu, takže jsme si odnesli spoustu krásných zážitků. Velké díky patří také Justinovi za to, že celou dobu bezpečně a trpělivě řídil na dlouhých trasách, moc děkujeme!

Tour guide Frank was very attentive and thorough in leading the tour. When an unexpected situation arose halfway (a flat tire), he handled it very efficiently. However, we still hope the company can equip the vehicles with spare tire changing tools. That said, we felt the guide's crisis management skills were already very good, and he adjusted the itinerary in a timely manner so that we could arrive at Antelope Canyon at the right time. Along the way, he also handed out lunch, water, and potato chips to keep our energy up! Overall, the tour guide made our trip go very smoothly and we learned a lot of stories about the attractions. Highly recommend tour guide Frank🫶🏻

Výlet za to opravdu stojí. Náš řidič a průvodce MAMA je velmi dobrý.

The driver arrived at 4:48, confirmed our information, and we boarded at 4:50. This time, a minibus picked us up and took us to a location where we switched to a large bus. There are charging outlets and USB ports on the bus. It makes a stop at a convenience store (where prices are cheaper than in the city) and provides bottled water and lunch (a small box containing a sandwich, juice, fruit, and a small dessert). Upon boarding for Antelope Canyon, a variety of cookies and chocolates were provided 👍. There is no restroom on the bus 🚻, but we were able to use one about every 2 hours. There are restrooms when arriving at Horseshoe Bend 🚻, and restrooms are also available a 15-minute drive away upon arriving at Lower Antelope Canyon, so you can drink plenty of water 💦. Thanks to the tour guide for the attentive care 😆👍. After finishing the English introduction, the guide immediately switched languages to explain things to us again ♥️. We got the exact orange canyon photos we wanted 😍. Everyone should definitely come and experience this. Upon returning to the downtown area, you can choose where to get off, which was great for someone like me who suddenly changed their mind 😂.

We were so lucky to have an amazing tour guide, MaMa, who was incredibly professional and thoughtful in her arrangements from early morning until night. The tour bus was also very new, and the chicken sandwich provided for lunch was quite good. This day trip was definitely worth it.
