Things to do in Horseshoe Bend

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!! 😭)

The trip is so worth it. Our driver + tour guide MAMA is very good.

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.

Our tour guide, Justin, was incredibly dedicated, attentive, and responsible! He took great care of every traveler throughout the trip, and he did his best to assist with and fulfill any requests. It's especially worth noting that Justin meticulously organized the menus for both lunch and dinner, along with the unique features of each restaurant, making it much easier for us to choose our preferred meals. Additionally, he specially arranged a "Bonus Stargazing Tour," which added an unexpected and unforgettable surprise to our itinerary. We were absolutely delighted! The two-day, one-night itinerary was very well-planned, with excellent management of attractions, dining, and rest times. The entire trip felt fulfilling without being overly stressful, and we gained so much from it. We are also very grateful to Justin for his hard work driving long distances throughout the trip. Thank you for your efforts!

This trip was so wonderful! Andy and Chris were very helpful throughout the entire tour. They took great care of us, made sure everything went smoothly and safely, and even helped us take lots of photos. Everything was well organized and always on time. My wife and I were very happy to join this tour, and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you, Andy and Chris, for making this trip so memorable! Highly recommended! ❤️

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:)

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🫶🏻

Our tour group consisted of eight people: three pairs of Japanese tourists (including us) and two foreign individuals. Our guide, Mac, spoke both Japanese and English, sharing fascinating insights into the indigenous people, as well as American and Japanese history. We visited Horseshoe Bend first, followed by Antelope Canyon, the Grand Canyon, and Seligman. Each location offered breathtaking and magnificent natural wonders that left us simply awestruck. At Antelope Canyon, it seemed to be a rule that Navajo guides lead the tours, so the commentary was in English, and I only understood bits and pieces. Nevertheless, it was a fulfilling experience, with guides taking photos for us and playing the flute. We had restroom breaks every two hours, and the provided sandwiches were delicious. Although we had an incident where the car got a flat tire, we still managed to return on time. It was a packed tour, lasting about 17 hours, and the early morning meeting point was challenging, but we could catch up on sleep during transit, and above all, it was a wonderful experience. If you're considering it, I highly recommend going!
