Ian our tour guide was the best! He gave us a detailed history and kept it interesting. I will say wear some good shoes and be prepared for a lot of walking, the views were amazing! Being that it was lower canyon I thought there'd be no steps, but there were steps maybe 4 flights of steep stairs then a few with maybe 4 steps, some of the spaces got tight but was able to turn sideways. We rode with USA good travels, it was a van, the driver was nice but the experience was scary. He was driving so fast, we were scared, then at the end he made the announcement about his tip, so it was 15 $ per person plus 5 $ for gas, we always tip drivers and tour guides, but on our last stop we were coming out of the store, he walked up to us and said my tip holding out hand, we thought that was rude, we have no problems tipping. The tour itself was amazing, Ian is the man to do it with! So if you're thinking about it, please do it!

Itinerary
A short hike down a set of rock-carved stairs leads to this viewpoint on the rim of the river and dam. This short walk takes you to a viewpoint on the canyon rim high above the Colorado River. It affords an unparalleled view of the river, the canyon, and Glen Canyon Dam. This scenic view provides spectacular vistas of the Colorado River as it flows through Glen Canyon and of Glen Canyon Dam itself.
Your tour bus will drive by to take a close look at Glen Canyon Dam and Colorado river through Glen Canyon Dam bridge.
Horseshoe Bend is a superb example of an entrenched meander. Six million years ago, the region around Horseshoe Bend was much closer to sea level, and the Colorado River was a meandering river with a nearly level floodplain. Between six and five million years ago, the region began to be uplifted. This trapped the Colorado River in its bed, and the river rapidly cut downwards to produce Horseshoe Bend as we see it today.
Lower Antelope Canyon The Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hazdistaz, or 'spiral rock arches' by the Navajo, is located several miles from the Upper Antelope Canyon. Prior to the installation of metal stairways, visiting the canyon required climbing pre-installed ladders in certain areas. The lower canyon is in the shape of a "V" and shallower than the Upper Antelope. Lighting is better during PRIME TIME.

The driver for the van was less than professional. We paid for the entire tour prior to the tour date. I find it unethical that the driver demanded that we pay an additional $80.00 in cash before we were allowed to board the van for the return trip home. We were four and a half hours from our initial pickup point. Never again!! Adrian Ogle
Travel in 14 seater van from 6AM to 7Pm.. the driver/tourguide is has good driving skills speaking mostly chinese language since tge rest of the guest are all chinese. "Required" tip is $ 15.00/guest
The lower Antelope Canyon is an absolute must see!! Our Navajo guide, Tracy at the Canyon, was the very best. She showed us how take the best photos and took several of the members of the tour anlong the way. She was very knowledgeable and passionate in sharing information about the canyon. You could tell that she took pride in her ancestry and the beauty of the Canyon. Horseshoe Bend is beautiful as well. The driver of the tour company was courteous and made sure I did not feel alone since I was going on the tour solo. Took pics and allowed me to sit up front. The only negative thing I would say is that at the last stop prior to getting back to Las Vegas he asked everyone to tip him $15.00 and fill out a survey giving all excellent marks. That was a bit off putting. I was planning on tipping him more but since he asked for a specific amount, which is in my opinion not right, that is the amount he received. Otherwise a great well worthwhile trip.
Once in a lifetime activity! It is such an honour to be able to explore the preserved canyons on Navajo land. The landscape is stunning and the native tour guides know all the best angles to get the spectacular shots. The tour takes you to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and provides great insight into the history of the land. Unfortunately, coming from Vegas, it is quite a lengthy day and it does seem like a concerning amount of driving for the tour guide/ driver to be doing in one day by themselves. On another note, the long day means it should be recommended to be prepared to purchase your own food at some point throughout the day since the single sub that is provided on the day is unsubstantial for the 15hr journey. There are plenty of great spots to pick up a snack and takeaway meal along the way.
Antelope canyon tour during prime time is highly recommended with SV Tour! My family had amazing time! We also did Las Vegas Night Tour with SV Tour next day and it was 👍👍👍
Lower canyon during prime time was amazing. We are very pleased to choose antelope canyon during prime time and it’s well worthwhile. Horseshoe Bend was also beautiful and tour guide John made everything in timely manner and organized.
Our tour guide Mark was awesome! We had older family member, which was my mom, who’s in 70’s and Mark was patient enough to take care of her that she enjoyed her time.
Our tour guide was Alex, and he is the best tour guide ever!!! He was patient, informative, and the best driver. Antelope Canyon during prime time was beautiful and local Navajo tour guide took a lot of pictures for my family.
We had Lower Antelope Tour during Mid Autumn Festival weekend last minute, and we weren’t able to find tickets due to busy holiday but office staff Tim was able to find tickets for our family that we were able to attend the tour. Out family really appreciate Tim to go above and beyond to make our family trip possible!
Antelope Canyon Lower during prime time was amazing! My girlfriend and myself had great time there not worrying about driving far distances. Tour guide Jason was very professional and explained about all places well with inside tips. 🌟🌟 🌟🌟 🌟
There were few things on that trip we didn’t like, first was the van. It’s a 5 h drive and literally there is no space in that van to any move we were squeeze like a sardines in a can. For such a long drive bus is much better option. We went day before to Grand Canyon in a bus so I can compare experience, also there was no ice water in the heat of 100f they should provide ice water not warm !! We went to Grand Canyon day before and they served ice cold water. Another thing we didn't expect is a text message day before, asking to prepare tip 20$ cash per person for the driver. First of all tip is something extra and the only person deciding how much you want to give is you. We went to many excursions all over the world and never were told how much to tip, other people were not happy about that too. So definitely it’s worth it to go there but make sure it’s a bus not van !!!
It was a very best! I would highly recommend the trip!! Our tour guide. Chris was the best with the Happy energy and so many great tips!
SV Tour USA is best ever! My family had an awesome trip. From the start to finish was very smooth. I highly recommend this company.
The tour was exceptionally well-organized and offered beautiful views, making it a highly enjoyable and memorable experience ❤️❤️❤️
The trip itself is quite tiring, many hours on the road. The guide was friendly and helpful. The views are very beautiful. The snack served is very bad, hot water too, it's very hot there, bring your own food and snacks. The van does not recline seats, it is quite compact for the long trip.
