Guest User: Absolutely fine establishment. Our only concern was the water took almost 5 minutes to heat for the tub and the shower. Not a big deal but it felt like we were wasting a lot of water. I would recommend this place.

Lower Antelope Canyon

Lower Antelope Canyon is definitely worth a visit. We were lucky to have a great guide, Joanna from Ken's Tour. Hope I spelled her name correctly. Here's a picture of her. She was very efficient in teaching us how to adjust our camera settings and helped us take photos. For the last photo, she asked everyone what language they spoke and said "seahorse" in Chinese. Joanna took all the particularly good, wallpaper-worthy photos and also offered to take group photos for everyone. A good guide makes this trip even more perfect.

Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park is a truly spectacular place that leaves you amazed from the moment you arrive. The endless canyon views, dramatic cliffs, and beautifully layered rocks create a landscape unlike anywhere else. Every viewpoint offers a different perspective, especially during sunrise and sunset when the colors become incredibly vibrant. Walking along the rim feels peaceful while surrounded by such immense natural beauty. For adventure lovers, the hiking trails provide an unforgettable way to experience the canyon up close. It is a perfect destination for nature, photography, and exploration. If you could visit, would you choose sunrise or sunset?

Upper Antelope Canyon

Definitely worth seeing! To see the golden sand pillars effect, you need to go during the dry season. We came in late October, and it had rained the previous two days, so the sand was wet and didn't create the desired effect. However, overall, the scenery is stunning. Our guide was a young Navajo native in his late twenties; his English was excellent, and he was quite patient. He even helped us take photos at various points along the way. Thumbs up! 👍👍
