The tour was nice, horseshoe bend and antelope canyon are really beautiful. Lake Powell isnāt a stop- you just drive by it so Iām not sure it should be written as an inclusion. The guide at antelope canyon can be hit or miss, unfortunately ours was terrible and we didnāt learn anything except how to take a good photo inside the canyon. You need to wear a mask outdoors at antelope canyon, which should be made more clear prior to booking. Our guide for the whole day was generally nice and very knowledgeable but was extremely off putting about the rules at the canyon. She didnāt need to lecture my husband who questioned the not being able to take off your mask for a photo. She could have said this much was nicer but instead treated him like a child or like he was coming to disrespect the culture and he simply asked a question. We were pretty annoyed at this and it affected how we felt the rest of the day. I get that this is not the tour companyās fault but when paying over $500 for two people to go see a place that is known for taking amazing photos, to not be able to lower your mask for a photograph is absurd.

4 STARS! This tour really does have some beautiful sites. For future travelers let's clarify some errors in your review:
We do not commit anywhere that Lake Powell is a stop on this tour. Always good to read the tour description.
Mask mandates on the Navaho reservation have been in place for two years as is their sovereign decision.
This requirement is clearly posted on the third party website next to our tour. This requirement is clearly posted on our website. This requirement was sent to you via text and in a voicemail 48 hours prior to your tour which you confirmed.
Your guide who routinely conducts this tour indicated she was concerned about your potential non-compliance which would have required you be escorted from Antelope Canyon and fined. Her stern approach was to remind you that you had been so advised and needed your cooperation so that you might complete the tour.
We find that information and cooperation are key in these unprecedented times.
