PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE 9:30 TOUR IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANTELOPE CANYON AT PRIME TIME, WHICH IS NEAR NOON.
THIS IS WHY THE TOUR RUINED MY ENTIRE TRIP:
“Your booking is now confirmed for Antelope Canyon Prime Time Glen Canyon, Horseshoe Bend 4 hour Sightseeing Tour. Thanks again for booking with Tripadvisor”
1)THE 9:3O TOUR IS NOT PRIME TIME. PRIME TIME IS AROUND NOON
I made this mistake because I did not read the fine print: it does say that the tour of Upper Antelope Canyon is at 9:10. Because it said it was a 4 hour tour, I thought that it meant the canyon tour was at the end of the 4 hour tour.
2) IT IS NOT A 4 HOUR TOUR; IT IS A 3 HOUR TOUR:
It is advertised as a 4 hour tour, but we were actually on a 3 hour tour, as stated by every person doing the actual tour informed us.
3) USING THE TOUR WASTED OUR TIME:
We got up a little at 6 a.m. to make sure we had eaten and checked out before we boarded the bus at 8 a.m. We got on the wrong bus, even after I pulled out my e-ticket, which the friver said I didn’t need yet. While waiting for the people at the next hotel (who did not get up early) it was discovered that we were not on the 4 hour trip, we were on the 3 hour trip—even though I showed them the booking receipt. We had to go back to where we started to get on the 3 hour tour bus.
3) I AM DOING YOUR RESEARCH FOR YOU:
I did not do my homework. We could have driven to Antelope Canyon from PAGE, AZ in 18 minutes,8 miles from the town. It cost $100 if you buy it from Navajo Tours, $120 for the 11;15 prime time tour. Horseshoe Bend is 8 minutes. 5 miles from town. It costs $10 per vehicle. The Glen Canyon Dam Overlook is free.
4) DO NOT USE A THIRD PARTY

My bus driver connected me to an administrator of Navajo Tours who explained to me that, because I booked through a 3rd party, nothing could be done.
The Antelope Canyon tour was great, the booking of this tour was a giant mistake on my part.
