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

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:)

Magkasama kaming lumibot sa tour na binubuo ng kabuuang 8 tao: 3 grupo ng dalawang Hapones (kasama kami) at 1 dayuhan. Si Mac na aming gabay ay nagsalita sa parehong wikang Hapones at Ingles, at ibinahagi niya ang mga napakaaabangang kwento tungkol sa mga katutubong mamamayan, pati na rin ang kasaysayan ng Amerika at Hapon. Binisita namin ang mga lugar sa sumusunod na pagkakasunud-sunod: una ang Horseshoe Bend, pagkatapos ay ang Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, at Seligman. Ang bawat lokasyon ay napakaganda at kahanga-hanga na parang hindi likas sa kalikasan, kaya't namangha talaga kami. Sa Antelope Canyon, tila patakaran na ang mga taong Navajo ang magsilbing gabay, kaya Ingles ang ginamit at medyo nahirapan kaming lubos na maunawaan, ngunit naging makabuluhan pa rin ang oras dahil pinagkuhaan nila kami ng larawan at tumugtog sila ng plawta. May pahinga sa banyo tuwing 2 oras, at masarap din ang inihandang sandwich. Nagkaroon ng aksidente kung saan naputukan ng gulong ang sasakyan sa gitna ng biyahe, ngunit nakabalik kami sa tamang oras. Bagamat mahirap ang maagang pagtitipon para sa isang punong-puno ng aktibidad na tour na tumagal nang mga 17 oras, nakatulog naman kami habang naglalakbay, at higit sa lahat, ito ay isang kamangha-manghang karanasan. Kung may nag-aalinlangan pa, talagang inirerekomenda kong sumali kayo!

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

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!! 😭)

Talagang masipag, maalalahanin, at napakaresponsable ng tour guide naming si Justin! Inalagaan niya ang bawat pasahero sa buong biyahe at tinulungan kaming matugunan ang anumang pangangailangan sa abot ng kanyang makakaya. Kapansin-pansin din na maingat niyang inihanda ang mga menu para sa tanghalian at hapunan pati na ang mga espesyalidad ng bawat restawran, kaya mas madali naming napili ang mga pagkaing gusto namin. Bukod dito, nag-ayos din siya ng isang "Bonus Starry Sky Viewing Tour" na nagbigay ng hindi inaasahan at hindi malilimutang sorpresa sa orihinal na itinerary. Tuwang-tuwa talaga kami! Maayos na naisagawa ang dalawang araw at isang gabing biyahe. Napamahalaang mabuti ang oras para sa mga pasyalan, pagkain, at pahinga. Ang buong paglalakbay ay naging kasiya-siya ngunit hindi nakaka-stress, kaya marami kaming natutunan at naranasan. Maraming salamat din kay Justin sa pagmamaneho nang malayo sa buong biyahe. Maraming salamat sa iyong pagsisikap!

Si Tour Guide Frank ay napakasigasig at masusi sa paggabay sa aming grupo. Nang magkaroon ng hindi inaasahang aberya sa gitna ng biyahe (pumutok ang gulong), agad niya itong naresolba sa pinakamabisang paraan. Gayunpaman, sana ay may dalang mga kagamitan sa pagpapalit ng gulong ang sasakyan ng kumpanya. Gayon pa man, mahusay talaga ang kakayahan ni Frank sa paghawak ng krisis. Naiaayos din niya nang tama ang iskedyul kaya nakarating kami sa Antelope Canyon sa tamang oras. Namigay din siya ng tanghalian, tubig, at chips para may pandagdag-enerhiya kami! Sa pangkalahatan, dahil kay Frank ay naging maayos ang aming biyahe at marami kaming natutunang kwento tungkol sa mga pasyalan. Lubos kong inirerekomenda si Tour Guide Frank 🫶🏻

Meeting tour guide Xiao Fu, who speaks Chinese, in the U.S. felt like meeting a savior. The restaurants he recommended were all incredibly delicious, and he explained the attractions in great detail. He even helped us take Instagram-worthy photos. He prepared umbrellas for us at Horseshoe Bend and tripods when we were taking pictures of the starry sky. He was absolutely wonderful!

We had such a great experience and made so many wonderful memories! 🫶 This is definitely the best itinerary I’ve had so far. It wasn’t too tiring, and we were able to truly enjoy the tour while road-tripping. Niko was very accommodating, knowledgeable and made sure everything went smoothly. We didn’t have any problems at all, and we felt relaxed while visiting so many amazing places in just two days! 😃 Thank you so much, Niko! I’ll definitely recommend this tour to my friends! ❤️ P.S. Niko is also a great photographer! 😉
