The meeting point is easy to find, with a parking lot next to it. The staff is friendly and the car we take is air-conditioned! We don't have to be damaged by the wind and sand. The tour guide is interesting and helps us take a lot of beautiful photos. The perfect angle, perfect location, and perfect experience. The only drawback is that the price is a bit high!

An enjoyable trip with our tour guide, Ms Hannah. Pickup was punctual & the journey was pleasant. Hannah was a fantastic guide explaining to us all about the Yosemite. The hike to see Giant Sequoia was around 3.5km & we sweat a lot after the end of hike. Yosemite Valley with waterfall & the scenery was splendid..Two thumbs up for this trip!

The topography of the Antelope Canyon will make you exclaim again and again. The winding valley accompanied by bright and varying lights makes people admire the beauty and diversity of nature. In addition, the tour guide is very humorous and the explanation is very detailed. He will carefully remind you when going up and down stairs and places where it is easy to trip. The best photos taken during the entire trip were taken by the tour guide. It is worth a visit!

The scenery is so stunning😍 The journey can easily see three major views, which is very worthwhile. You can rest on the bus. The leader will give a guided tour along the way, and also arrange stops for everyone to rest and go to the bathroom. I think it's great👍

The tour guide is a bit like opening a blind box. Some tour guides will introduce the environment, and some are very good at helping to take pictures. The one assigned to me this time was Justin. He has first-class photography skills but no introduction. However, the scenery is really beautiful and the journey is also very relaxing.

We start our trip from Hilton Union Square. The transport arrived on time & Hannah was our driver & tour guide. Total 13 of us in mini bus. Overall, a really pleasant & enjoyable trip with Hannah. Bear in mind there is around 3.5km of slope walking to visit the Giant Sequoia trees (our 1st long stop inside the park), so need to wear comfy attires as you will likely perspire.... Our time at the Yosemite valley is the most memorable & the main target of this trip. Overall, a very good experience for this trip. Two thumbs up!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We joined a one-day tour to Antelope Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend and had a truly amazing experience! Our tour guide was very professional and shared many useful travel tips along the way, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The driver was also excellent — the ride was smooth and safe throughout the day. Everything was well-organized, and we felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore these breathtaking natural wonders!

There will be a shuttle bus to pick you up at the hotel pick-up location, remember to be on time, but their shuttle bus may be mispointed, if you are worried you can call directly to ask or ask the hotel counter to ask, someone will answer the phone. It is most convenient to get on the Treasure Island because it is where all the trains meet. Regardless of choosing Chinese or English, but yours is an English guide, so be mentally prepared to practice English listening. The basic formation will have A4 paper in Chinese and English, but the story of the process is up to you. The most important thing is that the tour guide said the time to be very punctual. Our tour guide Marvin will explain very seriously and seriously, basically everyone is very obedient and punctual. Horseshoe Bay needs to set up a counter, because time zones are two places that can be easily confused. The tour car is not particularly big, but if there is an empty seat, you can basically sit two seats for 1 person. Midway rest stops can replenish food and drink, both locations of the trip need to walk a long way, need sunscreen, good walking shoes, and not afraid of heat and tired heart. Overall it was fun and a great road trip.

Tips Before You Visit the Upper Antelope Canyon

Book ahead of time

It's best to book your tickets early and plan your visit. You can only enter the canyon through tours, so they can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. 

Choose the right timing for light beams

To catch the famous light beams at their best, aim for the tours between late morning and early afternoon, between 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM from March to October. This is the time when the sun's rays hit the canyon at the perfect angle.

Wear comfortable clothes

Make sure that your clothing is easy to move in and suitable for walking on sand. Don't forget to bring a hat and apply sunscreen to shield yourself from the bright, blazing sun!

Bring your water 

Since the canyon is in a desert, it can be hot and dry. To avoid dehydration, make sure to drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated!

Be mindful of the environment

Always be respectful of your surroundings by following the rules set by your tour guide. It's for your safety and preservation of the canyon's beauty.

Take the best photos

Bring your camera to make the most of the stunning views! Remember to protect your equipment from the sand by using a cover or camera bag.
