5.00Great tour! My family loved that it was a small group (14) so they could stop and take pictures as much as they wanted. Our tour guide was engaging and funny. Having the Horseshoe private look out was amazing. I would only do the secret tours! No crowds it was an amazing experience.

5.00Secret Canyon was very picturesque, host was knowledgeable and personable. The drive is a bit wild but Gail explained about getting stuck in the sand and why the driving has to be fast enough not to get stuck.

5.00It was beyond our expectations. So crazy roads to get to the canyon were so fun it felt like a roller coaster and the canyon itself was beautiful. We'd love the small group and our guide made sure we all got pictures and took our time. Just do it!
So fun!

5.00Make sure you arrive in Arizona time. Down the road a few miles, we stayed in a different time zone and arrived at the tour an hour early.

5.00Deer Spring Canyon Tours was 5 Star. Would give 10 stars if I could. The booking was easy, location for the meeting spot easy to find, the stag was very nice. Meeting facility was clean, with bathrooms and water if needed to purchase. Nicole, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and informative throughout the entire tour. She took the time to explain the history and geology of Antelope Canyon and made sure everyone had a great experience. What really stood out was how she helped everyone with their phone and camera settings so we could capture the best photos possible. That extra effort made a huge difference and showed how much she cares about her guests having a memorable experience. I would highly recommend Nicole and Deer Spring Canyon Tours to anyone visiting Antelope Canyon. She made our tour truly unforgettable!
