Read on to learn a little more about who our guides are and what they love about their job with what many visitors call the best Antelope Canyon tour company around.
Our Tour Guides: Members of the Navajo Nation
All of our tour guides are members of the Navajo Nation who are fully authorized to lead tours of Antelope Canyon. You may or may not know that Antelope Canyon lays on land belonging to the Begay family near Page, Arizona. The Begay family are longstanding members of the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. Antelope Canyon is a sacred site of the Navajo people, for whom it is a spiritually significant location akin to a cathedral that is deserving of that level of respect. As a result, it is a Navajo Tribal Park that can only be visited via permit while a tourist is being led by an authorized guide. Being members of the Navajo Nation allows our tour guides to truly understand and appreciate the Canyon as well as its historical and cultural importance.
