"Did the 2-day tour that included Zion and the Grand Canyon. It was the perfect way to see the Southwest without feeling rushed. The hotel they put us in was clean and comfortable. Walking down into Canyon X was definitely the highlight of the second day."

"Very long drive from Las Vegas, but the scenery changes constantly so it is not boring. Horseshoe bend is very windy and cold in November, bring a thick jacket! The guide was very professional and made sure everyone stayed safe near the cliff edge."

"We booked the small group tour in the minivan. So much better than a giant coach! Our driver was hilarious and kept us entertained. Standing at the edge of Horseshoe Bend without a fence is terrifying but the photos are spectacular. Highly recommend this over driving yourself."

"Horseshoe Bend is breathtaking, but my god, the heat is no joke even in May. Glad the tour company handed out plenty of bottled water. The turkey sandwich lunch was pretty basic, but the sights completely made up for it. Just make sure you wear real sneakers, not sandals!"

"It’s a massive day out—we were picked up at 5 AM—but totally worth the lack of sleep. Lower Antelope Canyon was unreal, and our Navajo guide helped us set our phone cameras to get the best colors. The bus had Wi-Fi which was a lifesaver for the 5-hour drive back to Vegas."

"The strict no-bag rule at Antelope Canyon was a bit annoying since I had to leave my expensive camera gear on the bus, but I get why they do it—it’s very narrow in there. The light beams were magical. Overall a solid, well-organized trip from Treasure Island."

Time of Day: If you are driving yourself, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM is best for Horseshoe Bend photography to avoid deep shadows on the river. However, guided tours from Vegas usually arrive mid-morning to midday, which is excellent for capturing the famous light beams inside Antelope Canyon.
