Antelope Canyon And Horseshoe Bend Day Adventure From Scottsdale Or Phoenix

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Brandon Lewis from Barbil Tours! Brandon was an exceptional tour guide—professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. What impressed us most was learning that he has only lived in Arizona for two years, yet his knowledge of the state's history and landmarks was remarkable! We spent the day exploring Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Powell, and Antelope Canyon. Brandon made the entire experience enjoyable and informative, sharing interesting history and details along the way. His enthusiasm, hospitality, and attention to making sure we had a wonderful experience truly stood out. We even had to capture a group photo with him to remember such a great day! If you're considering a tour in Arizona, I highly recommend Brandon Lewis with Barbil Tours! You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Brandon, for an unforgettable experience!

Lower Antelope Canyon was breathtaking! Native American guide was interesting and very helpful with pictures. Horseshoebend was a long walk from parking lot but felt great after lengthy ride in car

Jeff Dana and Chris B , were extremely good. Very entertaining and informative.

I had such an amazing experience on this tour! Cody was an incredible guide—friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and very well organized from beginning to end. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day, explained everything clearly, and shared so much helpful information along the way. Another thing I really appreciated was the convenience of being picked up and dropped off at our accommodation, which made the whole experience even easier and more comfortable. Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend were absolutely breathtaking, but what really made the experience stand out was how smooth and enjoyable Cody made the entire day. It was a long tour, but everything was so well planned that it never felt overwhelming. You can tell that Cody genuinely cares about giving people a great experience, and that made the day even more special. Thank you, Cody, for making my Arizona trip so memorable! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s a very long travel day. But worth every minute of the drive. The canyon is breathtaking and so is horseshoe bend. It’s a very physically demanding hike, with longs stretches of walking in the sun at horseshoe bend. Antelope Canyon has lots of narrow passages and stairways to navigate, but well worth the journey. The Navajo guides are amazing and take the most beautiful photos.

Excellent tour guide Cody took us on an amazing fact filled drive up to Antelope Canyon. Great itinerary and amazing views.

The canyon is AMAZING and definitely worth the trip!! It was nice to skip the line and get called in with the group. Our guide didn’t add anything to this unfortunately.

Cody was the Best!! He was informative and gave additional info to make the day go like clockwork! He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. I would definitely do this again or highly recommend to anyone. This is an Adventure of a lifetime! Thank you, Cody.

We really enjoyed this tour. My family members and myself were all over the age of 60. There are a lot of stairs/ladders and some of the canyon was tight, but it was so worth it. It was beautiful.

Cody knows his stuff. If you're a worrier like me especially on long trips, Cody broke down the logistics of the trip right from the start so I knew what to expect. But just in general Cody is a great source of information of the area. The views from lower level are incredible. The initial climb down had me freaked at first but I got down safely and that was the scariest part. It was sooo worth it. Honestly felt other worldly. Horseshoe bend is an easy trail down and back a well marked gravel path with seating areas in shade along the way. Highly recommend this tour if you're in town

We had a great time. Cody was very clear about directions and both stops were amazing! He kept us on track and frequently stopped for the bathrooms

Had a great experience! Cody runs an efficient schedule and sets expectations and rules from the beginning to ensure the day runs smoothly. He had lots of fun facts along our route and got us to our Horseshoe Bend and Lower Antelope Canyon tours safely. The van was comfortable and we made plenty of stops along the way for food and bathroom breaks. He even includes lunch as part of the ticket which he picked up for us. The destinations were breathtaking, if you’re considering this trip it’s well worth the money!

The experience all the way around was incredible. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone

Our driver Cody did a great job of driving, telling us about our day and breaking up the 4 hour drive from Scottsdale. It was well worth the trip. Antelope Canyon was beautiful and the magnificence of Horseshoe Bend was awe inspiring. We went with our good friends and the four of us had a wonderful time. Pick up at our Airbnb in Scottsdale was an extra bonus. Bring a good camera, there are numerous spectacular photo opportunities.

I've never seen anything so beautiful! We went with Ken's Tours, but there is another tour place right next to it (his sister's!) Our guide was Alysa and she was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and shared the deep history of the canyon, pointing out fun little shapes/faces in the formations along the way. She made sure everyone stayed safe by abiding by the rules within the canyon and led a great tour! She also took amazing photos of everyone and helped us take the best photos on our own! A MAJOR RULE: there is no video recording within the canyon. Your guide will explain why. You can take all the photos you want though, as long as you aren't on the metal stairs.

Amazing trip! So many beautiful photos! Definitely worth seeing! Put it on your bucket list. You won’t be disappointed.

Definitely worth the trip. Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon were both stunning to see. Once again Cody did a great job.

It was amazing and spectacular! Cody our guide was great and friendly. He managed the day perfectly and gave clear instructions. It was an excellent adventure!

I had an amazing time on this tour! Cody is so knowledgeable and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He knew so much about the areas we were going to and he explained so much during the trip there. The views were amazing — pictures don’t even do it justice. I’d book again!

This excursion was amazing! Everything was well planned and time accordingly! It was once and lifetime experience! You don’t want to miss this!!

This was such a huge disappointment. We have been on several Viator trips here and in Europe,this was far below par. Our "guide" Cody arrived to pick us up shoved a clipboard in our faces and told us to sign,I asked who he was he then said Cody ,I texted you last night. He never greeted us or introduced the passangers. We were not even out of Phoenix before he started with his militant directions about keeping the van clean ,how we needed to be on time or we would get the bad bathroom stops. We stopped at a supermarket where we were instructed to tell the burista to hurry bc they are slow. Out next bathroom break was at a circle k where we were told by ,cody that we shouldn't order anything to eat bc it has probably been sitting for days . We ordered from a food truck which was great.This was the tone for the next 4 hrs as he drove well over the speed limit while we bounced 6 to 8 inches off our seats and cups popped out of holder's. When we arrived at Antelop Canyon it was amazing our guild,Ben was excellent. Cody went to pick up the sandwiches. He met us after the tour and drove us to yet another circle k where we were told to sit at dirty picnic tables near trashcan with flies everywhere. We watched people fill their tanks while we ate and were told not to wander off we needed to keep a strict schedule. Cody did not share ANY information about the area, customs or where we were going. Sooooo disappointed with the "guide".

I had an amazing experience on the Wandering Hearts tour! Seeing the vast colors and stunning rock formations of the canyon and surrounding landscape up close was absolutely breathtaking—such a beautiful and dramatic change from what I’m used to in Florida. The day was smooth and easy from my perspective, thanks to Cody’s effort in keeping us on track and clearly communicating the day's expectations. His organization and energy really made everything flow effortlessly. A special highlight was the Navajo-led portion of the tour with Lennox. He was incredibly informative, welcoming, and shared meaningful insights that added depth and connection to the experience. His hospitality truly made it a memorable and pleasurable part of the day. This tour was a true highlight of my trip. I highly recommend Wandering Hearts to anyone looking to explore the area in a thoughtful, well-organized, and unforgettable way!

Our tour guide Cody was very informative. He explained the tour from beginning to end. Would reserve this tour again.

If possible take the “ photography tour”. The lighting is dramatic and beautiful. The guides are excellent and the tours are limited so you experience this natural wonder in a calm serene environment Don’t miss the town of Page. There is the best bbq restaurant in the world on the main drag. You’ll see the large cooker in front of Big John’s Texas BBQ.

It Was a ver good experience. Exactly that they offered. A unique experience. Very tidy and verde clean

This tour involves a four hour drive each way to reach the destination, but the views are so magnificent that they are worth each minute of travelling. I thought I would be crossing out one item from my bucket list, but I will definitely return to Antelope Canyon once again. One suggestion to the tour company would be to extend this trip to two days, not only to divide the traveling time, but to be able to enjoy more activities in this place. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!

Long trip, but worth it. Antelope Canyon is gorgeous to climb in and out of. Helpful Navajo guide. Cory was great with driving the van and finding clean rest stops. Highly recommend using Wandering Heart Adventures.

Very enjoyable and visually packed experience! The canyon is a true natural wonder; our guide Cody was super helpful and very professional!

The tour was well origized from the beginning and to the end. Cody was our driver, he gave thorough instructions, We got to see everything as expected.

My sister and I attended this tour and had no idea just how breath taking Antelope Canyon was or, what a memory we would be walking away with. Every turn was just as beautiful. Our guide, Jonas, was great! He was knowledgeable and added some humor to our tour. Well run tour company. Highly, highly recommend this tour. It’s a must!

Awesome day! Beautiful. Cody our driver and your guide was great. Very informative and had everything very organized. Pictures do not do it justice!

Cody did a great job on this day long tour. Giving plenty of restroom breaks and ample time at both Horseshoe Bend and the Lower Antelope Canyon, while keeping our group of 10 on course. The view at Horseshoe Ben’s was beautiful, but nothing compares to the beauty of Antelope Canyon. It was awe inspiring. I would highly recommend this tour!

Antelope Canyon is amazing! The view from Horseshoe Bend is beautiful! I highly recommend this tour! Cody was great!

Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend were bucket list places for me and they did not disappoint. Our guide for the day was Cody and he was awesome.

We had a great experience! Tour guide was great! Pictures definitely don’t do it justice! 10/10 recommend!

Wandering Heart Adventures Really made this trip great!! It was a very pleasant trip! We got to see everything we wanted to

From inquiry to scheduling to pick up and the full day tour Cody was attentive and friendly. Couldn’t book solo through other websites but I was able to book for 1 directly through his website. He advised me to stay in the Scottsdale area as pick up was included from there. He sent a reminder the day before with things to bring and pick up time. Pick up was prompt. We made lots of stops for restrooms and snacks on our way up to Paige and our way back. Cody was very informative giving us information about the areas as we were driving. He took care of everything we didn’t have to book anything additional. The tour of antelope canyon was amazing and so was horeshoe bend. Be prepared to be out all day as Paige is about 3hrs (plus) from the phoenix area. The van is spacious and comfortable and provided good views during the drive. I would highly recommend this tour.

The Antelope canyon once in a life time trip. Cody was very knowledgeable & shared much information while driving.

Cody showed no consideration for comfort in the van. Several of us were extremely cold the entire trip. Mostly talked about himself.

Nathaniel was our tour guide and he was great! Very informative. We were the 9:00 tour group and glad we decided on the early tour. Beautiful scenery.

Cody (driver and tour guide) was exceptionally patient and meticulous in making sure we had the best experience. I highly recommend him and Wandering Hearts tour to my friends.

Great way to take in the spectacular sights of Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, along with enjoying the very scenic drive to reach them from the PHX area. A very well organized day, down to the last detail. Thank you Cody!

The canyon was amazing! Words cannot describe the visual experience. The canyon tour guide was awesome. However, the driver must have been having a bad day. His mood was less than pleasant, and his driving was atrocious, making for an unpleasant trip there and back.

Antelope Canyon was fabulous!!! Worth the long drive from Scottsdale area. Tour guide very knowledgeable.

Had a wonderful experience and it was great to have someone do the driving for us. Cody was very informative and kept us on schedule. He made sure to make plenty of stops at clean restrooms. Horseshoe Bend - beautiful. Antelope Canyon - a must see. Simply amazing formations and something like you’ve never seen before. Our Indian guide was the best and showed us the ideal camera settings to get fantastic photos. Be sure to bring a phone charger to replenish your battery (on the van - nice that they have usb ports in every row), as you can easily take hundreds of photos. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Awesome experience! Our guide Cody picked us up from the hotel and was very organized and knowledgeable. The Antelope Canyon native guides helped us take many spectacular photos for us. Not for those with ambulation problems or using wheelchairs or with clostraphobia as you will need to climb some stairs or maneuver in tight passages. Horseshoe Bend is nice but rainy and cold mid-40F so went back early. Highly recommend this tour!!!

This is the second time we are traveling with Cody. it was raining, weather in the 40s we had good visit at lower antelope Canyon and horseshoe Canyon. He seemed more rushed this time around.

Antelope Canyon is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. It is one of Mother Nature’s greatest creations. Our guide (I believe his name was Jonathan….sorry not good with names) was very informative and a fantastic photographer!!! Cody was our driver and he made us feel safe throughout the drive from/to our hotel. The views were well worth the long drive.

My husband and I did the Horseshoe Bend/Antelope Canyon tour as well as the Grand Canyon/Sedona tour during our short stay in Arizona. This is a great option if your home base is in Scottsdale and are desiring an overview of the state’s treasures. Cody was our tour guide for both tours and he is a true professional — he runs a tight ship and ensures the group is punctual for the best experience possible. He is also very knowledgeable; while on the road he shares interesting facts, but also factors in quiet time :) The van is a Mercedes sprinter van that is comfortable and has USB chargers on the walls. Cody also incorporates multiple comfort stops en route to our destinations and chooses places that have good restroom accommodations, which is appreciated. These day tours are long, so you end the day pretty tired, but it’s so worth it. Highly recommend booking with this company!
