One of the best trips we’ve had! Nature at its finest! 🏞️ the Horseshoe bend and Upper Antelope Canyon! The bus tour with Olivia and driver Yen was well-organized, and we felt safe with them. The only downside was the portable toilets, but that was expected when exploring nature! 😊

Itinerary
Enjoy views of the 181 mile long Lake Powell, that covers parts of Arizona and Utah, created by the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River.
Enjoy views of colorful rock formation and 80 mile views across the largest National Monument in the United States.
Antelope Canyon’s sculpted sandstone walls offer memorable photo opportunities with a walkable corridor at the bottom of the canyon floor. It was formed by flash flood waters that rushed into the cracks of the Navajo sandstone along with the power of wind erosion. The daylight dancing through the narrow openings from the top provides multiple kinds of light reflections and colors.
Enjoy views of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon's Horseshoe Bend, with a 1.5 mile round-trip easy hike. Stand 1000 feet above the Colorado River as you look down upon the mighty river at the bottom of Glen Canyon. Horseshoe Bend is an area where the Colorado River makes a 280-degree turn, providing almost unreal views of desert, river, cliffs and canyon.
Drive through the Virgin River Gorge, a dramatic and beautiful canyon carved by the rushing river waters in Northwestern Arizona.
See views of Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, the 2nd largest man-made lake in the US.
Pass through the town of Kanab, known as Utah's little Hollywood due to being the setting for many Western movies and centrally located to access many national parks and sites.
Choose the Upper Antelope Canyon option to visit this section of Antelope Canyon.

Olivia and Yan were excellent! This was one of the best tours I have been on. Plenty of time at each spot! The photos I got were amazing! Nathan was my guide at antelope canyon and Josh was super helpful w taken photos! If u have the time take the tour u wont regret it.
The guide was friendly and informative. Everything went according to plan. Everything was excellent.
It’s the best part of our trip! It’s worth the money! The drive is at least 4 hrs one way but you are able to sleep or rest in the bus . Both guides from the Bus Co and Navajo and the driver were all excellent! We did Upper Antelope and it’s gorgeous! I’m glad I wore pants and comfortable boots that protected from the elements, There is a bit of walking and slight hill going back but was able to manage it slowly🤭 . The canyon is worth the hike!
For my kids 18th bday, we did a mother/son Vegas - Zion - Canyons trip. I was looking to fit in one more “must see” tour for the last day, with a red eye departing flight that night out of Vegas, so we dropped our bags at the Bell desk at our hotel at 4am, and put all our confidence in the schedule of a tour guide. We picked the Upper Antelope - Horseshoe Bend tour and it was fantastic. Our guide, “Mama”, knew the routes to the minute, timed our stops well, and did all the hard parts while we relaxed. She really went above and beyond to make sure every single person was well cared for, informed, and made the trip feel like a personal experience despite being on a large tour bus. Highly recommend any of her tours!
Very seamless booking. We were informed all the way through and our tour guide made this experience even more memorable.
Mama is a very good driver . Her overall experience is excellent and caring after her passengers safety. Sharing all her experiences She need promotion.
Antelope Canyon is a magical place. So incredibly beautiful. The drive was long but well worth it. We've traveled alot but the canyon is something really different a must see. Our driver 'Mama' was so informative on the way. Details along the entire trip. Enough stops for breaks along the ways. The canyon guide was exceptional also helping us all with the best photos. Such a memorable day. Thank you.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience with Scarlett and John! I had an amazing time on the Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour! The scenery was breathtaking, but our wonderful guide, Scarlett, and our driver, John, made the experience even more special. Scarlett was engaging, knowledgeable, and attentive, sharing interesting stories and making everyone feel welcome and cared for. John was an excellent driver—the ride was smooth and comfortable, and I felt safe throughout the journey. Even though the tour lasted about 15 hours, the time flew by! A special thank-you for their kindness: I hadn’t brought warm clothing, and John generously lent me his own jacket. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to me and showed how much they care about their guests. Thank you, Scarlett and John, for making this such a memorable day! I wholeheartedly recommend this tour—you made a beautiful adventure truly exceptional!
Olivia did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule, giving us brief history of the small towns we were going through and lots of fun facts along the way. Yan our bus driver did a great job getting us there and back. Once at Antelope Canyon, Cody did an amazing job as we toured the beautiful Upper Antelope Canyon. A must see!
Make sure buses have better identification as to their destination when loading — was very confusing on our morning pickup
Loved our experience using Viator & National Park Express. Everything is well organized and our itinerary schedule was perfectly followed. Our driver Cheng and tour guide Scarlet as well as Mike, our Navajo guide were very knowledgeable & nice. I will use them again in the future.
Mama was amazing, she was so helpful and thought of everything. She even took pictures for all of us. Our driver was top also, got us there earlier than expected. The best guide I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
The canyons were amazing. Thanks to national park express for arranging a very seamless journey. My guide, Olivia, did an amazing job in explaining the key points in each spot and was so friendly. Our driver cheng gave us an extremely smooth ride. Highly recommend NPE since they hit the exact midday slot for the high sun beam rays in the canyon.
My husband and I had an amaaazzzinnngg experience on this tour! Horseshoe Bend and Upper Antelope Canyon were already breathtaking, but we even got a surprise stop/view of Glen Canyon Dam, which was such a nice bonus. Our tour guide, Scarlett G., was phenomenal. Her knowledge of the history, landmarks, and the different tribes throughout the area was honestly mind-blowing. She shared so much information throughout the day without it ever feeling overwhelming, and you could tell she genuinely knew and cared about the area. Also, organization is HUGE for me, and Scarlett had everything planned down to the timing. Clear instructions, great communication, and she was prepared for the entire day. There was rain in the forecast, so she even brought ponchos for everyone. That kind of preparation definitely did not go unnoticed! And we HAVE to give mad kudos to our driver, Wayne! We ended up hitting some pretty intense monsoon rain on the drive back. Okay, maybe it didn’t come completely out of nowhere because we definitely saw those dark clouds coming 😂, but Wayne got us through it safely and handled it like a pro. Even his driving through the canyons, my Texan self could never lol. Overall, this experience was absolutely worth it. None of today felt rushed, and we still made it back to Vegas with still plenty of night time to have more fun! Highly recommend!
It was a long 14 hours tour but well worth it! Both Horseshoe bend and Antelope Canyon are beautiful! Photos come out amazing! I am especially glad I took private tour to antelope since we only have group of 12 with one guide. Carlos (our guide) took amazing photos for us and shared some tips on how to take great photos. Our main tour guide Scarlett was very entertaining and funny. Overall I really enjoy our tour.
We took the tour with Mama and had a great experience. She’s entertaining, engaging and detail-oriented that truly supported the group to make the day tour as seamless as possible. Our driver Carlos was also a great help and even stepped in as an assistant guide when our group split at the Antelope Canyon. The sightseeing at horseshoe bend and the antelope canyon was an once in a life time experience and truly breathtaking. We just wish the local authorities who run the conservation site hadn’t inflated the admission so much over the past 10 years that not everyone could afford to visit. Regardless this is still an amazing experience to have if one has the means to do so.
Everything about this tour was perfect. The organization was seamless, the transport was comfortable, and the views were breathtaking. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Las Vegas!
Hotel pick up time was mis-communicated, but once on bus, the trip was knowledgeable and accommodating. The 2 stops were Out of this World... Nature at it's best
Both Olivia and Luis were exceptionally good. Olivia is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history throughout our trip. Luis is a very safe driver and entire journey felt very safe
Marcelo was an amazing tour guide! He kept us laughing the entire trip, and there was never a dull moment. His knowledge of the canyon and the Navajo culture made the experience even more meaningful, and we learned so much along the way. The tour was well organized and included lunch, plenty of water, and snacks, which made the day even more enjoyable. If you’re considering this tour, I highly recommend it. Marcelo was fantastic, and we would definitely do it again!
Great adventure to see Anthelop and Horseshoe. Every thing is as my expectation. The tour guide direction is great. Thanks to olivia and the driver. Tips for van rider to Uper Anthelop please sit infront row due to bump road
What an amazing experience! It was on my bucket list! The canyons did not disappoint! Our tour guide, Carson, was excellent! He was so proud of his Navajo heritage. I learned a lot from him. He is so kind. He also took lots of pictures of our group for us. I would definitely do this again and visit the other parts of the canyons.
Nice day trip to Antelope Canyon. Our driver John and guide Scarlett were great. They provided a safe and informative trip to and from Vegas. We learned so much about the surrounding nature in Nevada, Arizona and Utah. The location of the pit stop Bees Market was great, clean bathrooms and a chance to pick up snacks/drinks. We also took away an appreciation for the Navajo community, our Navajo guide Carson was absolutely top notch. He was informative, personable and kind. We liked that the bus had plenty of storage for belongings, an available bathroom if needed but the leg room was to be desired on a bus with so many people. The seats recline which is nice but unfortunately the passengers in front of us reclined the entire trip which made the ride very uncomfortable for my husband and his long legs. I understand the significance of the logistics for the day for so many people but adding another vehicle for transport would have allowed for a more comfortable drive. However this is no fault of our driver and guide who were fantastic the whole day. Antelope Canyon is a must see if you are in the area, and we highly recommend the Upper portion of the Canyon.
From the very first time we started our trip it was so well organized. Only if they could have a signage for people to know where to wait it would make things much more easier. Otherwise it was good
Early pickup and very helpful tour guide that took beautiful pictures in the canyon. Vegetarian food was so-so and we stopped at a grocery store for a pit stop on the way.
Olivia was such a great tour guide who I can see is very passionate and knowledgable. The grand canyon itself is so beautiful and a must see place. Shout out to driver Yan for the very smooth ride.
Awesome Canyon, guide Olivia and travel
Fantastic tour - efficient and well-organised.
Our tour to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend was beyond amazing! These places are truly some of the most breathtaking natural wonders I’ve ever seen. The views felt unreal — like something from another planet 🌄✨ A huge thank you to Olivia for making this trip so special! She was incredibly friendly, professional, organized, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable from beginning to end. You can really feel how much she loves what she does, and her positive energy made the tour even better 😊 Also, special thanks to our driver Cheng — he did an amazing job! The ride was smooth, safe, and comfortable the entire trip, and we really appreciated his professionalism and kindness 🚐👏 Everything was perfectly planned, smooth, and stress-free. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Las Vegas. It’s an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip! 💕
Very early start dependant on hotel pick up. Large air-conditioned bus with so kets for charging phones. Our Guide told us to call her Mama, and she is wonderful! Gives lots of informstion, tips and advice. Our driver, Yen, was also wonderful. A out a 20-minute walk to the area for viewing Horseshoe Bend. I went in May, do it was warm but not brutally hot. Wear a hat, sunscreen and do not forget comfortable shoes like sturdy sneakers. Cute little sandals are not for this tour. Chapstick is a must and stay hydrated! Drive traverses 3 states (Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Only sunglasses, your hat, bottled water and a small wallet or cash/card that fits in your pocket, are alllowed in Antelope Mountain. Know your limits! Tell the guide if you are not comfortable with something like posing too close to the edge of a canyon. Most important things are to have fun and stay hydrated. Guides are there to help❣️
Olivia was really professional and gave us a lot of information about the canyon and las vegas in general. Cheng was our driver and he’s a cool guy and gave us plenty of water. I would be joining the Grand Canyon tour too. The tour bus is clean and equipped with a toilet as well, which was delightful. Some stops were made for us to use restroom, brief stop to make some purchases at the supermarket as well.
The tour was amazing! The driver Cheng did a great job giving us a safe drive back to Vegas. The tour guide Olivia is very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend
It would be better if the tour guide will talk more about the site’s geology, Navajo’s cultural heritage , historical as well as environmental changes in the area. The tour guide keeps on repeating the same instructions over & over again. I felt like a small kid & not a responsible adults.
Highly recommend this tour, specially to Mama the fairy god mother!!, it was fun, quick and efficient will definitely back again
Mama is an amazing tour guide, she explained everything clearly and the entire trip was very well organized. Huge kudos to her photography skills, I got so many great pictures at Horseshoe Bend! Carlos is a great driver, and the journey was super smooth. Would definitely recommend!
Had a wonderful experience with the guides. The trip was amazing, service was great. The sandwich provided was good and enough water for a chilly day! Though the drive was long, didn't feel exhauster or tired. Greatly recommend for kids and family as well.
Our trip to the upper antelope and horseshoe bend was fantastic! This was the best time of year to go, not too hot or too cold and right before the rainy season. Our guide Olivia, was extremely knowledgeable, funny, witty, and amazing at her job. I can sense the passion and what she does. Likewise, our driver, Carlos, drove very safe, was polite and cordial, as well as friendly in between stops. I would highly recommend this tour and this pair to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind tour and experience, outside of just the typical restaurants, shows, and casinos in Vegas!
The driver/tour guide drove off route to pick up a person while on the way back to Las Vegas. Also the driver/tour guide did not drop us off back to Treasure Island where we originally hopped onto the bus, nor did he ask us where to drop off after the tour and shifted the responsibility to us. The timing of the tour was not well planned as the driver/tour guide stopped for 2 hours at horseshoe bend which was not necessary.
Our bus driver Mr Cheng and tour guide Olivia were exceptional. The trip was smooth and everything moved timely. Mr Cheng and Olivia were very knowledgeable and worked great as a team! Thank you for giving us such a pleasant and enjoyable experience Mr Cheng, Olivia and National Park Express!
Great tour with Mama and Carlos! We got picked up at different spots with other tours and then transferred to our tour bus at Treasure Island. I think that's a smart use of resources. We went to Horseshoe Bend and Mama found the best spot for group photos and took them for us. Then it was Antelope Canyon with the Navajo. Clint was fun too and took photos for us. Bonus, we even got to get off the bus and cross the bridge at the Glen Canyon Dam. The tour was super organized. The sandwich for lunch was good and there's endless bottled water you could grab whenever. Mama made a group chat and sent all the important tour info. You can really tell they put thought and care into the little things. From telling us to set a timer before getting off the bus (because of timezone changes) to the timing of lunch and bathroom breaks and taking out the trash. Mama even had a charging station on the bus! If they're looking to make this tour even better in the future, maybe fewer seats on the bus, since it's almost 5 hours each way and most people are sleeping, more comfy seats and recline space would make the trip more relaxing. Still, the views are amazing, so if sleeping isn't your top priority, the scenic views still make it awesome. Definitely glad we took this tour!
The tour was a fun and truly remarkable experience. The ride to our destination, driven by Carlos, was smooth and comfortable. Lankun, also known as Mama, made sure everything was well-organized and efficient, which I really appreciated. She was also a fun and engaging guide. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour—it’s an amazing way to tick off a bucket list experience!
Long bus ride but it was worth the trip and a great way to see those amazing views! Lankun aka “mama”, our tour guide has extensive knowledge, very efficient, full of energy, and also volunteer to take pictures. We also had an excellent driver - Carlos.
Amazing experience! Upper Antelope Canyon was absolutely stunning, and Horseshoe Bend had breathtaking views. Huge thanks to our guide Mama—very friendly, organized, and made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Everything was well planned, transportation and lunch were great. Highly recommend!
Horseshoe bend and upper antelope canyon are both amazing, stunning geographies that everyone must see. We truly enjoyed it. However, the driver was not a good one and he swings the bus around all turns so bad that even from back sits we felt uncomfortbale throughout the day. When it comes to ‘the guide lady’, even though it was cleaery communicated the day before where they will drop us at the end of the day, she insisted us to leave the bus at the first stop which was 2.5 kms away from our hotel. If i was not a fluent english speaker, she can convince us to get back to her home early. After i provide proofs and said she has to obey the guidelines, she gave up and accepted to drop us to agreed location. She was not the guide in any of the destinations and always a local people explain everything on the sites. No if i was rating her and the driver, i would give one star only. However, the navajo native guy at lower antelope canyon was the best guide ever. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful to take proper pictures and answered all questions with good care. Thanks to him and amazing landscapes, I am giving 3 stars. You can choose a different company since at the end of the day, that company is just doing your transport to the sites and thats it. Local people is doing the main job.
Fantastic tour. “Mama” was our guide, she’s full of information, and took wonderful photos for everyone!
It was wonderful to join this activity. Since English is not my native language, I really appreciated our guide, Mama. She was professional, responsible, and experienced; she provided detailed information about everything and ensured I was never confused. Meanwhile, thanks to our driver, John, for giving us such a safe trip!
The experience was beautiful! Chang and Olivia were absolutely amazing! The views were amazing and the tour guide at the reservation was tremendous. She took some really nice photos.
Had a great day and totally enjoyed everything. Got to see Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. Olivia was an excellent guide. and she made the day extremely enjoyable! Our driver Chang was great and got us there safely!
The tour guide aka mama and the bus driver Shannon are super professional and helpful to all of us, we highly recommend you to visit these beautiful places and choose this tour guide and the driver
