Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend

I was doubting at first when I booked this tour as not much review to read. But then when we joined the tour and meet Denny, young, energetic, and very friendly guy - we felt at ease. He came on time for pick up and deliver us back to the hotel safely. And when we reached Antelope Canyon - we were all amazed how beautiful it is. It's God's wonderful creation. It's a few hike but easy to reach and the caves are so beautiful. Horseshoe bend is also a few hike and wonderful rocks formation curved as horseshoe. I highly recommend this tour and request for Denny.

I had always wanted to visit Antelope Canyon since i first saw pics more than 30 yrs ago. I was looking a various tours from Vegas on the Viator website, and I had trouble trying to pick. I did not have enough information from the descriptions and why some listed this canyon or that canyon. I was looking for a small group tour to either the upper or lower Antelope canyon. I saw the Chat Now icon on the Viator website so I selected. I was answered promptly but the information I got was minimal. I mention in the listing there was not a place to select Upper or Lower Canyon and what was Canyon X. I could not find information online about what it was. In the Chat I was told that I could visit both upper and lower Canyons and do I want to book now. The price I was quoted and charged was $199. I agreed to that but i could not tell which tour I was signed up for other than Antelope Canyon/Horseshoe Bend. Not knowing how the tour proceeded for the upper or lower canyon, I was told in the online chat that I could visit both. Then on the tour, Marvin the tour guide said I could not, since there was a limited number of tickets for each tour. I did not even get a chance to pick which canyon to go to. I have a booking #1060359273 and confirmation # 1446478941 from the online chat. When I got the email it stated that the Antelope Canyon admission ticket was not included, when I clearly read online that it was included. I also read that the ticket was absolutely not refundable for any reason. The confirmation stated that the $50 admission ticket was extra. When on the tour, our tour guide Marvin said it was $65. Either I pay or I do not go. I clearly do not understand how you can charge for a tour of the sites and then not include the cost of admission. Are there actually people that go just for the bus ride and then do not see the canyon. Once I was on the tour, the sights were very good. The tour guide was very informative. He kept everyone on time. At the very start of the tour, a few people were late showing up, he waited 5 min extra for them but then left to keep the tour on time and get the 47 passenger tour bus rolling down the road. I was not given a chance to pick which canyon, i was just assigned to one. While visiting the canyon we were told if it rained, the tour would be canceled and we could come back in the future at no cost. Then while on the tour it did rain a bit where we were, but who knows there could have been a terrible downpour just upstream from where we were. Checking the weather radar before the tour started there was a thunder storm that passed right over the canyon that we were at. The view of the canyon was very stunning and picturesque. The guide at the canyon was very good and pointed out things we could see in the rocks, like a lion or a bear or a face. Once the tour was done we had to wait for the other people from finishing their tours at the other two canyons. Then we left for the long drive back with a short rest stop. We arrived back on time 14.5 hrs after we left with drivers James and John. I would really recommend seeing this incredible site, but beware of all the costs and what what sights the tours actually cover. I wished I had asked more questions about what my tour covered and did not cover.

Ik werd opgehaald bij mijn hotel met 2 andere gasten in een klein busje en we gingen toen naar een ander hotel en de chauffeur zette ons op een grotere bus zoals een bus met andere mensen. Zo willekeurig maar oké. Onze chauffeur was bijna verstaanbaar. Ik wil op geen enkele manier onbeleefd zijn, maar het was zo moeilijk om zijn aanwijzingen over waar te gaan te begrijpen, wat belangrijk is om de bus terug niet te missen. Hij begon ons ook willekeurig de samenzweringstheorie te laten zien over het vouwen van het biljet van $ 20 om de Twin Towers te laten zien die ontploffen... ... maar gaf ons weinig andere informatie over de gebieden die we daadwerkelijk bezochten. Hoefijzerbocht was prima maar overhyped. We bezochten Antelope Canyon X (hoewel ik me herinner dat ik voor mijn reis naar boven of beneden vroeg). Ze hadden Navajo-gidsen voor dat wat geweldig was. Waarschuwing het is een steile zanderige langzame afdaling die je ook weer omhoog moet klimmen. De ervaring daar beneden was echter ongeëvenaard. Lange rit daarheen en minimale toiletstops in vergelijking met andere tours hier. Geen cadeauwinkels op beide locaties. Lunch liet veel te wensen over. En je moet $ 65 extra contant betalen als ze je 's ochtends ophalen, ondanks dat je online bijna $ 200 hebt betaald voor het boeken van de reis.
