Our guide, Dawnisia, was great! She provided tips on the optimal settings for each phone to capture the various colors and lighting in the canyon and pointed out the best photo angles (and famous shots) throughout the tour. The guides are skilled at spacing out the groups so that with the various turns, we had moments where we were the only folks in a specific cavern. Given hundreds of people visit each day, they made it feel like a more intimate experience as you make your way through the canyon. After checking in, they share some of the history of the Navajo people and the land, followed by a live 'hoop dance' performance by a local tribe member. Upon arriving, it appears just as every other tourist trap however, it quickly exceeded our expectations. Decided to book the Dixie Ellis' Lower Antelope Canyon Tour after some late-night research and was pleasantly surprised they had availability on such short notice.
