I did this tour with my husband last year and loved it so much came back to vegas and did it all over again with the whole family. Once again, they did not disappoint.

Bull was our tour guide for Upper Antelope Canyon, it was a long day and an absolutely worth it in every way. The history, driving through the Mojave desert, Horseshoe Bend and Upper Antelope Canyon, getting to hear the history and education was exceptional. Yes it was hawt!! Bill provided umbrellas which was needed, unlimited drinks and snacks and he had perfectly timed rest stops that were clean! Great trip would totally do it again!

We just completed the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley 3 Day Tour and had a fantastic experience. We packed an incredible amount of beauty into three days but never felt rushed.
Our driver and guide, Orlin, was fantastic—cool, knowledgeable, friendly, and, most importantly, a very safe driver. He always had an interesting story, fact, or reference about the places we were visiting, but never sounded scholarly or rehearsed. It all came naturally and made the trip that much more interesting. He kept everything relaxed and enjoyable, and we loved his playlist! He made sure we got to experience so much along the way.
The ride itself was comfortable, especially considering how many miles we covered. The seats have decent cushioning and lumbar support. I do wish I had brought a small neck pillow for the longer stretches. A small organizer on the back of the seats for phones and other little things would also be a nice addition.
The included meals were mostly on the go, which makes sense with such a packed itinerary. The sandwiches for lunch and pizza for dinner were delicious, filling, and just what we needed. Orlin always made sure that there was also plenty of snacks, bananas and ice-cold bottled water available at all times, which was much appreciated.
Important tip: Be prepared for a very long and tiring first day. The schedule is packed and quite demanding, but it is absolutely worth it!
Also, pack very light. Bring only one backpack or small soft duffel per person. Wheeled duffels are not allowed, which was not clear when we made the reservation. There is truly very little luggage space in the van, so plan to store anything that does not meet these requirements before the trip. They do not make exceptions, and you may be left behind!
A wonderful tour, spectacular scenery, and a great guide. Thank you, Orlin! We’re so glad we did it!

What an incredible three days in Arizona and Utah! We managed to see and experience all the most important places, but I think the real magic was hidden in Ken’s “bonus locations.” Those unexpected stops and little surprises truly made this trip something special. Thank you, Ken, for organizing such an amazing adventure. You didn’t just take us from one place to another, you fed us well, surprised us, entertained us, and filled our heads with fascinating facts and stories about the places we visited. Now we can go home and share them with our friends like true adventurers!
Coming from another continent, these aren’t just memories from a weekend trip, they’re experiences I’ll carry with me for a very long time. I’m sure they’ll become some of those stories we keep telling years from now. Thank you 🙏

The whole 3 day Grand Canyon tour was amazing and Ken made it even better. He really gave his best to make sure we see as many beautiful places as we can in the limited time we had. He always had interesting stories to tell about the places we were visiting. Great tour and a great guide. :)
