Beautiful - Beautiful formations, very knowledgeable guides and super helpful and friendly bus driver/guide. The other 15 words are just basically so I can get to 100 words so that they’ll post this review.

Incredible experience - Loved this tour. The area was so unique and beautiful. The geological history and the resulting nearly invisible canyon was fascinating. You walk down 100+ through a narrow fissure in the ground and you're world of color and magical formations. Dineh is a Navajo nation-owned company and run by Tildon and his parents Tom and Eloise. Eloise told us personal stories and the history of the area and was wonderful to talk to. Tildon organized the trip perfectly and met us at the hotel to pick us up and complete the paperwork.

Antelope Canyon - Lower & Upper - Truly a bucket list experience! Our Navajo guides were incredibly knowledgeable - we learned so much about the canyons, Navajo life, and the area in general. A special shoutout to our guide Tresian (Tre!) who also helped us get unforgettable photos. We went in late February to celebrate my birthday - no crowds, no heat, a beautiful sunny day and an experience we will always cherish!

Highly Rated Tour!! - These canyons were well worth the drive from the southern rim of the Grand Canyon. As unbelievably majestic as the Grand Canyon is, the Antelope Canyons are about as creative as a natural landscape can be - surreal. We especially appreciated Tom who was our host on the tour. He is a native who is very knowledgeable.

Antelope canyon. - We experienced a wonderful tour with Tom. He promptly picked us up from Walmart and drove us to Antelope canyon for our lower and upper slot canyon tours. He taught us an about the history of that region and the proud Dineh people.
His Native American heritage made our experience even more enriching. The personal stories of his upbringing in the region added to the experience. We all felt proud hearing about stories of American heroes from his tribe also ( Code Talkers).
We also learned some Navajo words!😃
We’re so proud to live in the canyon state that the proud Dineh people have inhabited for so long. Tom was very knowledge of the history of this geological and historical pearl or Arizona.
Thank you, Tom!
Maybe next time we’ll add horseshoe bend to our tour also.

Arizona Canyons - Definitely a must for a bucket list! Lower Antelope Canyon is beyond description for an underground phenomenon although it isn’t really underground until it’s flooded! Almost Kharmic in the undercurrents! Pictures don’t do it justice!
Upper Canyon more of a story telling with many imaginative “faces”!
Both lovely in their own perspective!
I’d do both again plus the Grand Canyon!

Overpriced and Underwhelming - I purchased two tickets for the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tour through Dineh Tours, paying a steep premium with the expectation of a smaller, more private experience. Unfortunately, the tour didn’t live up to that at all.
All Dineh really did was pick us up from Walmart, drive us a short distance to each site, and then hand us off to standard public tours. At Lower Antelope, we joined a large group run by Dixie’s Tours, and later we were handed off to Tse Bighanilini Tours for Upper Antelope—also very crowded. Both guides at the canyons mentioned we had missed the best lighting times, which added to the disappointment.
The total cost, with tips, came close to $1,000. By comparison, if you book directly, Lower Antelope Canyon tickets are around $60 per adult with Ken’s or Dixie’s, and Upper Antelope is about $150 with Tse Bighanilini. That means we paid roughly twice as much for no clear added value.
To be fair, our Dineh guide was friendly, and the van was clean. They provided Costco water and snacks. However, most of the added "extras" felt like filler: we watched a short video in the van, briefly looked at and discussed some displays in the lobby, and stopped by a rundown hogan behind a gas station. None of it added much to the experience.
If I could do it over, I would skip the Dineh tour entirely and book directly through Ken’s for the Lower Antelope deluxe tour ($135), which offers a smaller group and a better value overall.
Also, you don’t really need to see both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon—either one is very good on its own.
