Excellent experience with SW tours, they picked us up early for a tour of Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Lake Powell. We started with a drive to Horseshoe Bend, it's a natural phenomenon and a short easy hike to the look out and famous photo opp. Bring a hat and sunscreen and hiking shoes or trail running shoes that you don't mind getting sandy. The lunch was simple but delicious sandwiches, pasta salad, chips and fruit which we ate by a look-out near Lake Powell. Our guide had an array of knowledge of the area and made helpful suggestions to our week long trip for other not-to-miss sights. The favorite activity was Antelope Canyon!!! The gorgeous photos are breath-taking and even though it was crowded inside, you lose awareness because you are overwhelmed with the splendor of the orange hues and the light. We went in the afternoon around 1 pm, but I heard the morning light is even better. By having a SW guide we didn't have to wait as long as the random people, but we had to wait our turn in the heat. Luckily the Navajo guides hand out water and there's a little shade to wait. Our guide, Vanessa was amazing at knowing the perfect camera angles and settings on iphones for awesome photos. The Antelope Canyon photos are stunning and I am so happy we splurged on a guide to help us enjoy the trip.

I booked my tour last minute and was so grateful to have been accommodated. I was traveling by myself and our guide, Elizabeth was so attentive to our group . She gave us detailed information about the canyon itself and its history . I was worried that by being a solo traveler id feel left out but she made me feel welcome and brought the group together. I had a great time! The tasty lunch was an added bonus!
