Our driver Steveebe was great! He covered a whole lot of miles and kept us on a strict schedule. His knowledge and sharing of information was terrific. The poor guy had a troubling van though. The microphone didn't work so he had to yell all day and the rear door wouldn't open so he had to crawl over the back seat to get our lunches...which were very good. We were so fortunate to have Leonard Nez as our canyon guide and he is the best. Helped us with our cameras and took wonderful photos for us to make sure we got good ones. His knowledge and flute playing were a blessing. We also were fortunate to watch Thomas do his hoop dancing which was impressive! Once again, a great Viator trip!!!
Excellent experience. Lynn was a great tour guide with lots of historical information shared along the way. Especially enjoyed information about the original settlers of the Sedona area. Lynn arranged for us to have Leonard Nez as our Navaho tour guide for Antelope Canyon. Words cannot express how awesome Leonard is a guide and as a representative of his people. We really enjoyed his somewhat corny whit! Leonard's ability to take any camera used within out group and show us how to take amazing pictures was beyond my expectations.
Wonderful surprise: Based on the information I had read about tours of Antelope Canyon, I expected it to be amazing scenery but probably a somewhat rushed experienced, with guides keeping you moving rather quickly through to accommodate the large number of groups. This was NOT the case with our experience. Leonard shared much information about the canyon's formation and continued changes. He showed us where and how to take pictures to use the lighting in amazing ways and to get just the right angle. It was amusing how he enabled my pictures to look remarkably more professional than they generally do.
At the end of the walk through the canyon, Leonard played his flute. A haunting, melodious Native American song. We noticed that the other guides did not provide anything close to this experience for their group. When you go to Antelope Canyon, you will be blessed with a rare treat if you have Leonard Nez as your guide!
The tour guide, Kevin, was very knowledgeable and had many interesting stories to go with the areas we were seeing. The hike to Horseshoe Bend was just right to give us a chance to stretch our legs. Glen Dam and Lake Powell were very interesting. The highlight of the tour was Antelope Canyon. The slot canyon was fascinating and beautiful. Our canyon tour guide was great at telling us the best way to photograph the canyon, where to stand, what settings to use, etc. It was a day well spent.
