The mother of the company in her 70's guided our tour. Amazing how she was able to easily maneuver though the canyon. She was very wise in the Navajo culture. You could see she had a strong heart for her culture. My husband and I loved her stories. Loved that this company is small and family owned. We happened to have a private tour which was awesome. Becoming off season. We loved the vision hee daughter has for the company and that the matriarch only wants to hire guides that have they heart!! ❤️ of course the canyon was beautiful. I am an amateur photographer, so I was engrossed with all the designs on the rock. We even recommended Mysical to a German couple the next day while stopping at the Navajo National Museum Monument.

We had a wonderful tour in Antelope Canyon X. Our guise Al was our guide and he was friendly, relaxing, informative, and had a sense of humor. He offered photo taking for all the people in our group. It was a very sunny and hot day. Al also offered a complimentary bottle of cold water. He looked like an angel. Highly recommended.
