What you'll see and do
Horseshoe Bend
Superheated rock in the earth’s mantle pushed the crust upward with such force that it cracked. A 240,000 square mile chunk of it was thrust upward. That’s the Colorado Plateau we’re standing on today. All of this happened in the blink of an eye — well, geologically speaking. To us, the transformation was agonizingly slow, taking hundreds of thousands of years. Note: The tour is over 1.5 miles long, with more than 10 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.

Glen Canyon Dam Overlook
Page is one of the youngest towns in America, dating back to only 1957. But why build a town out here at all? Well, the whole thing exists because of Glen Canyon Dam.

Waterholes Canyon
It’s called Waterhole Canyon. Erosion from water and wind has carved the canyon walls into a wild, curving pattern you simply have to see in person.

Antelope Canyon
You might not think “bright colors” when you think of a canyon, but that’s just what you’ll get in Antelope Canyon. This wild, twisting slot canyon is Instagram-famous for a reason. The wind-carved sandstone walls look like something out of a dream, and the sunlight filtering down from above casts the whole thing in a fabulous red glow.

Fraud
You can’t pass off a guided tour as an entrance to the site, among other things only in English (not even Spanish I don’t say Italian) I know so much about scam! The only thing you pay for at the horsebendshoe is parking. The site is worth a visit very nice, but the tour with audio guide is a scam
Response from the operator: Luigi, Thanks for your feedback. I want to clarify that this is a self-guided audio tour only, not a parking pass or entrance ticket, as clearly stated in my listing. I can see you contacted us twice for the password, which I provided, so I’m not sure why there was confusion. Please feel free to request a refund, and I’ll be happy to process it.

I recommend you book a...
I recommend you book a tour with one of the local groups in order to have a real quiet experience of the area.
Response from the operator: Rui, thank you for sharing your thoughts. While our self-guided tour offers the flexibility to explore at your own pace with stories that bring the landscape to life, I understand some travelers may prefer a more traditional guided experience. If you're planning to explore more of Arizona, check out my Ultimate Arizona Self-Guided Driving and Walking Tour Bundle — it features must-see spots like Grand Canyon National Park, Sedona, Petrified Forest National Park, and more!

Must see visit- tour guide not necessary
The information was ok but not worth the price . It was a definite must visit but too much for the tour app. You could easily just find the information online if that was something you wanted to know.
Response from the operator: I’m glad you enjoyed my Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour. My tour is crafted with the help of local guides to give you insights and stories you might not find online. The app includes features like offline access and automatic audio triggers to make exploring easy and convenient. If you’re up for more adventures, check out my 100+ self-guided tours with the same flexibility. Happy travels!

Waste of Money
Viator Tickets are not necessary to go to Horse shoe bend. You only need to pay for a $10 parking permit. This was just an audio tour but was presented as a self guided tour that you need to buy.. You do not have to buy anything at all from this company to go to horse shoe bend. Don't be fooled by this. The audio tour amounted to a few sentences you could google.
Response from the operator: Kevin, I provide only a self-guided audio tour, not a parking permit, and my listing clearly states that. Right after purchase, you should have received an email with instructions. The app and tour must be downloaded beforehand, as the app works offline once downloaded. The product is valid for a year, so there's no need to worry if your travel plans change. You might have been looking for something else, so if you booked by mistake, please email me to request a refund.

Treat Yourself to One Hour Here
If you are visiting Page to see the Antelope Canyon, this is a worthy and convenient stop. The audio guide provides basic information (would have liked more), the parking lot is a long walk to the Bend, a consideration for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Fortunately, there are two sheltered rest stops on the path.
Response from the operator: I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the Horseshoe Bend tour, George! It sounds like you're ready to dive deeper into Arizona's stunning landscapes. If you're up for more adventures, our Ultimate Arizona Self-Guided Driving and Walking Tour Bundle might be perfect for you. It includes not only the Grand Canyon and Sedona but also the Hoover Dam, Petrified Forest, Saguaro National Park, and Mt Lemmon – plus a bonus tour in Page. You can find all these gems where you booked your last tour. It's a great way to keep exploring at your own pace!

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Page.
How much does Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass) cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Page usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass) take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Page is not rushed.
Is Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Page, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass)?
+
Around 3 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 Page 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 Page and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseshoe Bend Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour (No Parking Pass) 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 Page 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 Page?
+
Page exists for two icons: guided Antelope Canyon slot tours, which are the only legal way in, and Horseshoe Bend overlooks, plus Lake Powell boat trips and Colorado River float runs. On Outty we rank every Page experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lower Antelope Canyon Hiking Tour, Navajo Dinner Theater, Hoop Dancing, and Native Storytelling, Secret Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Overlook. 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 Page?
+
March to May and September to October; midday canyon slots are best for light beams. 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 Page?
+
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.
