    Awe inspiring

    Unbelievable trip ! I almost canceled it, thinking 12 hr day might be boring. It’s Definetly worth it!!! Burton, our driver, explained and shared everything about the area and the different topography as we drove . Burton planned the stops perfectly and added an additional stop per a guests requests. The antelope canyon and horseshoe bend were outstanding. I will never see this topagraphy duplicated in my lifetime ! Burton knew that some of us were going to Grand Canyon the next day. He outline the day for us., recommending stops and which area to avoid. I don’t remember the cost of this trip…. Whatever it was …. It was worth it. Thank you Burton, best guide we have ever had …. And we travel a lot !

    Response from the operator: Nothing more credible than an outstanding review on tour and guide than from someone who travels a great deal and knows excellence when they see it!!!  No amazing site, no unbelievable topography can be reached in Northern Arizona readily.  It is why our guides are so informed, entertaining, and intent on maximizing the guest experience.  We love that you celebrate this experience and the value and our singular team Member Burton Stone.  Thank you Thank you for the stars and the awesome review.

    Request Burton!

    Burton, our tour guide and driver, was great! I have motion sickness, he removed the front seat headrest so I could see out the front window to help me on this trip as the van was full. Burton also arranged with the company that takes us to the Antelope Canyon entrance to get permission to sit in the front seat as well. Request him! He was knowledgeable and funny. Burton made sure all of our needs were met.

    Brad was a very...

    Brad was a very knowledgeable guide for the drive to and from the slot canyons. Ethel at the canyon helped us take some great photos that will likely end up as canvas prints on our walls. I highly recommend this tour (slot canyon X) as the groups going in are smaller than the other slot canyon tours.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest..Any photo is a great idea for going on a wall.  It is so beautiful and unique.  We hope you enjoy all your photos and they continue to remind you of your great experience with us.  Antelope Canyon X is less crowded and beautiful as all the other slot canyons.

    The views were amazing

    It was a wonderful experience. The sights were breath-taking and each of our guides along the way were so curious and informative. It was so much to see seamlessly, making it a wonderful day.

    Response from the operator: Seamless and Wonderful are our goals!  Antelope Canyon really is breathtaking and we are so grateful to be able to share that experience with you

    Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.

    How much does Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona cost?

    +

    Prices start at $312 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sedona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona take?

    +

    Plan for about 11.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sedona is not rushed.

    Is Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 138 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sedona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona?

    +

    Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sedona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sedona and add a light layer if any part of the 11.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sedona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sedona?

    +

    Sedona's activity market is dominated by off-road jeep tours, and the difference between operators comes down to which trails they are permitted to run. Beyond that: vortex and energy walks, hot air balloon lifts at dawn, stargazing sessions in one of the darkest skies in the country, and Grand Canyon day runs north. We rank on permit access and group size. On Outty we rank every Sedona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Grand Canyon Complete Tour from Sedona or Flagstaff, Sedona’s ONLY Guided ATV Tour: Western Red Rock Backcountry, Kayak Tour on the Verde River. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sedona?

    +

    March to May and September to November. Summer afternoons bring monsoon storms. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sedona?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona?

    Included: Arizona State Law Requires All Children Eight Years and Younger to be in a Car Seat/Booste; Bottled water; Knowledgeable, fun professional guides; Historic Cameron Trading Post; and Horseshoe Bend. Not included: Gratuity not included - 15% - 20% tip for your guide recommended if you enjoy your tour; Guests are required to provide their own car seat/booster seat for their tour; and Lunch.

    What languages is Antelope Canyon via Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Scenic Tour from Sedona offered in?
