Canyon X photo tour review on 9/17/2026. Check-in was a breeze (Mara was very professional and friendly), AC on the short van ride to the drop off area was appreciated, and the actual photo tour was excellent (Garrett was our guide). We spent 3.5 hours in the northern and southern slot canyons; details on where the best photos could be taken were openly shared; Garrett was very personable/funny/overall great guy. read more

I cannot recommend this tour company enough! It's a little cheaper than the other tours (Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon), but the views at Canyon X are spectacular! Check in and take a short, 10 min van ride to the site. The descent into the canyon is a little steep, but there are steps to help (especially on the way back up). Our guide, Kelly, was so informative and gave history, facts and showed us the best photo spots. She even took photos of us looking up to the sky. Definitely recommend this tour, hands down! read more

Bambi was incredibly rude and left a really bad taste in our mouths. Beautiful place, but unfortunately, our experience with her overshadowed the entire tour. :( This happened on December 31, 2024, and almost two years later, I'm still sad enough about our experience that I feel compelled to finally write this review. The place itself was absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, our guide, Bambi, was incredibly rude to us, and it really put a damper on what should have been such a memorable experience. :( One instance that stuck with me was when my dad accidentally hit his head on one of the canyon walls. Instead of showing any concern or empathy, Bambi told us that we needed to make sure we were watching him, almost as if he were an unruly child. It was such an unnecessary and condescending response to someone simply having an accident. Throughout the tour, she also didn't seem very interested in actually telling us about the canyon or making the experience enjoyable. It honestly felt like we were being herded around like sheep she didn't want to watch over. Everything felt rushed and impersonal, and like she just wanted to get the tour over with. :( Something else that has bothered me: while looking through other reviews mentioning negative experiences with Bambi, I noticed that several were from people with Asian-sounding names. We are Asian as well. Obviously, I can't say for sure that this had anything to do with how we were treated, but after our experience, I couldn't help but notice the pattern. I really wish we'd had a guide who made us feel welcome and excited to be there, because unfortunately, Bambi's attitude is still what I remember most about the experience almost two years later. read more

Taadidiin Tours is the one and only company that takes folks on tours of Antelope Canyon X -- the smallest and least visited of the three Antelope Canyon areas. Their tour price is about $60 +- an $8 new fee that I believe is set to be implemented soon. The other canyons are $80 and up and more crowded per online reviews, so I went with this one. I had a great time on the tour! My tour guide was super knowledgeable about the land and the canyon, and was also great at getting good photos of people (he knew where all the best spots were and even told folks how to pose at some spots to get the best pics). The tour pickup area is easy to find, they have a big sign by the freeway and you can see through the fence to the large parking area (all red sand/dirt with wooden markers). The place was pretty crowded when I came but it makes sense -- I think most tours sell out for all the canyons any given day/time. Do be sure to come at your time though, and note -- there is a time zone between this area and Page, AZ but the tour company goes off the same time as Page, AZ despite this!!! It says so on their website, and I called the morning of my tour to confirm because I wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally miss the tour by an hour. It's nice if you're staying in Page, AZ because you know the time at the tour is the same as the time where you are (although as you drive closer, note that you will spring forward an hour, and then fall back again if you drive back toward Page after the tour). After you park you check in at the counter, and they tell you where to wait until the vans pick you up. From there, you're assigned to a van and this is your tour group. You ride about 10-15 mins by van to the entrance of the canyon and then your guides take you from there. The whole tour itself takes about 40-50 minutes. Do note that because there are others in your group you have to take turns at some photo spots so just be prepared! And remember that according to Navajo nation laws, you can't take bags into the canyon so make sure you have a water bottle to hold, your phone, and any other small items you might need (e.g. tissues) in your pocket. read more

We loved our knowledgeable drivers and guide. We appreciated their willingness to capture great photos of us throughout the tour! Thanks to Josh for your humor, knowledge, and mobile photography skills! read more

We had such a great time here! It's a family-owned spot and you can really feel that warmth, everyone was incredibly friendly. We actually arrived right before they closed (heads up: they do close a bit earlier than other tours in the area, so try to get there by 2:30 PM for the final tour). ​I called ahead to check pricing and it's definitely more affordable than other options nearby, especially for kids under 17. The walk was about 1.5 miles, but totally worth it. Our guide was even kind enough to help us snap some amazing photos! Easily the highlight of our day. read more

I planned a trip to Arizona just to see Antelope Canyon. It wasn't until a week before my trip that I realized that Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land and you need a guided tour to be able to visit. I did some research and since I was going in February, it didn't matter if I went to Upper Canyon because I wouldn't be able to see the light tunnels. When I was trying to decide which one to go to, and which tour company, I came across a travel blogger who had done all three parts. He said that he recommended Canyon X. I saw that Taadidiin Tour was the only tour operator for Canyon X. The reviews stated that it was less crowded and less rushed, resulting in an opportunity to get better pictures. I was sold. I booked for a Wednesday at 1 PM since a lot of the recommendations said 10 AM to 1 PM was a good time. However, the morning of there was a snowstorm at the Grand Canyon and we could not exit the east entrance to Cameron and had to detour to the south entrance through Flaggstaff and with the snowstorm we would have made it right around the start of the tour and not 20 to 30 minutes early. I called when they opened and spoke to Naomi who was very friendly and accommodating and rebooked my family to 3 PM. A couple hours later got a call from Kendrick saying that they're making the difficult decision to cancel all the tours for the remainder of the day due to snow and the road closures. We discussed options and he was able to rebook me for 9 AM the next day. He was very helpful and friendly as well. We arrived the next morning and the check-in process was very smooth. We were told to come back about 10 minutes before the tour and could use the porta potties. The ride to the canyon was about 10 min. It was bumpy because the road is terrain and not paved. We were in like a 14 passenger van. Our tour guide was with Tommy and he was so friendly and funny. He showed us where we should take pictures and helped us take pictures as well using the panorama features. Even though I didn't go in the afternoon as originally planned the 9 AM timeslot was great. The tour was an hour and a half. There are steps to walk down and which is the easy part, but you do have to take the steps back up. The other family with us had young children and a toddler with a car seat, but they did fine. read more

I booked the X canyon tour via third party, next time i will book directly with the tour company. The operation is transparent and efficient. The tour leaves on time, stages 10 minutes before they depart and the website recommends arriving early ( 20 minutes, get checked in, confirm the waiver is signed, use the bathroom ( there are not restrooms on the hike ) and make sure bags are left in the car ). Each van has around 8 - 12 people and that will be your tour group. The drivers are friendly. After 10 minutes, the van drops off on the top of the canyon. We only brought our phones. They don't allow equipment, bags, purses, food or any drink ( besides water ). Our guide was Van and he was beyond perfect. He was informative, helpful and fun. He walked us down explaining the. History, geology and cultural background. He also took great pictures at the best spots. Next time we're in the area we will book the longer hike in the other canyon. read more

I highly recommend this tour company! Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and professional--from the staff who checked us in to the drivers who transported us to the canyon. The highlight of our experience was having Mike as our tour guide. The stars truly aligned for us that day because he was phenomenal. His knowledge, personality, and passion for the land made the tour even more special. It was such a gift to experience the beauty of these sacred lands, and Mike helped make it an unforgettable experience. If you're considering a tour, I highly recommend this company.

The process of booking this tour was so easy. We had to reschedule because the dates of our visit changed. They were so accommodating! Our driver, out to the site, Cynthia, shared a little about her life and shared some phrases in Navajo. She was friendly and made us feel at ease. Our guide, Josh, was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and funny. He was also accommodating as he took time to take pictures of guests in the canyons. Truly, he made us feel welcome! He also shared some tips about our next destination which made our trip so enjoyable. I highly recommend Taadidiin Tours! Don't miss this if you are in the Page, Arizona area! read more

If I were just rating our tour guide I would give 5 stars. Justin was the best. He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time and learned some new things. Antelope canyon is cool to see. Everything else about the experience was trash. We got there 10 minutes before our tour left. I went to drop off our party so they could check in and this women starts yelling at us. I tried to explain and she was extremely rude to us. Not a great way to start off. The. We went up and waited in line for the women at the check in to say we missed our tour as the van was still sitting there. They made up wait another hour and a half so after having the first 2 people be incredibly rude I was like I just want to cancel. To bad so sad no refunds after your within 48 hours of your tour. They had us. It's hot out. We have to wait. The women kept shutting the window, looking at us and talking to the other lady with her. It was just a bad experience and I would never ever ever recommend any one book with this company. read more

I feel like I've been seeing photos of Antelope Canyon for years, but never thought I'd have an opportunity to see it in person. But when we discovered that this place is only a few hours away from the Grand Canyon, where we visited first, we added it to our travel itinerary. The more "famous" areas are the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons, but we had heard from friends and other online reviews that the experience can be adversely affected by the sheer numbers of visitors every day. But then we learned of lesser-known Antelope Canyon X. With only a single tour operator and fewer tour times, we had read that it makes for a more pleasant visit. For reference, there are six tour companies operating in Upper Antelope and two in Lower Antelope. Though we wouldn't be seeing the more iconic parts of the canyon, we figured that we would still have a good experience. Pricing for the X tour was considerably less expensive than Upper and Lower Antelope. Online booking was easy, and we received clear instructions from Taadidiin about their policies. We showed up much earlier than planned for our scheduled tour, but the person checking us in kindly put us with an earlier group. After a short van ride, we arrived at the top of the canyon. The tour starts with a fairly steep descent, so be aware that it does take a bit of effort to come back out. At the bottom, the group splits off into multiple smaller groups of about 12 guests, with a Navajo tour guide assigned to each. The canyon is beautiful - I never realized just how narrow a slot canyon can be. Our guide was knowledgeable and relaxed and never made us feel rushed - in contrast, another tour guide seemed to be rather impatient with his group. We were allowed ample time to take pictures, and she pointed out the best places to get some nice shots, while also offering to take photos of us. So, you won't see the Insta-famous views here, but you'll get an excellent tour at a more relaxed pace (as long as you don't end up with the one pushy guide). read more

It was wonderful! I consider a must do if you are in the area. Darlene was our guide and I felt like she made every effort for my trip to be awesome! She gladly took and ASKED if we wanted our pictures taken. She encouraged us to take as much time as we wanted. Never felt rushed. I'm 74 and the climb out of the canyon is steep. She stayed with me the whole time to be sure I was ok! The stories she told, info she gave and her unimposing way made this trip great. Views unbeatable! Loved it and would gladly pay to go again. read more

We had the best guide! Jameson is Navajo and had stories handed down from his ancestors about the caverns. He also took wonderful photos of us in perfect spots. A van takes you down to a lower area where you walk down to enter the canyon. The walk down to the slot canyons is a lot easier than the walk back up but there are shaded benches along the way. Leave everything except water and a camera or phone in the car. (If you have Jameson, you won't need a selfie stick!) Inside, the walk is easy with no climbing, no ladders and no crawling. It's magical and a must do for anyone that can handle the walk back up the wide, low steps...but there are a lot of them as it is a 250 foot elevation to return after the tour. read more

Had a fantastic visit to Cardiac Canyon this week. Booked it for me and a buddy. The Taadidiin Tours operation was very well organized and efficient. They did a great job keeping in touch and letting us know what we needed when we got there. Our host Joshua was awesome. Great guy, very careful, and did a great job. Inside the canyon, it's just as beautiful as the best pictures you'll see of slot canyons. The entire three hours we were out, only saw three other people, and they were a photography party. There was none of the waiting for people to clear out in front of you to get an empty picture. I would do it again in a second. And they've developed a new way into Cardiac, so we didn't drop down not have to traverse the sand dune. By the BTW, Cardiac Canyon is in the same general area as Antelope Canyon and the same company does their own tour of Antelope Canyon. I did not do that tour so I can't comment on it, but the company and the people are awesome. read more

We had a great time with Taadidiin Tours! I did a lot of research on Antelope Canyon and ultimately decided to go with this tour company instead. Although we did not visit Antelope Canyon, we visited two other canyons that I assume are very similar or pretty much the same thing as antelope. Taadidiin Tours is the only tour company that visits these canyons so there were only about 30 or 40 people there while we were there. I've heard horror stories about Antelope Canyon being Less than pleasant because it's so crowded. Also, we paid half the price to tour with Taadidiin versus the typical antelope tour company. I highly recommend it, everyone was very friendly and courteous. Our tour guide was wonderful as well! Skip the typical tourist trap and pay half the price and get the same experience with Taadidiin Tours! read more
