Awesome - Must Do!!! - This was an awesome tour combining two highlights here in Page and accessing the canyon and horseshoe bend via not populated areas. Our tour guide “T” was great and took time to explain how the canyon was formed as well as taking the time to take some memorable personal pictures of each pair on the tour. Great memories and probably one of the best tours I have taken anywhere. 1000% would recommend.

The most amazing experience ❤️ - Had the most amazing tour today with TK. She was interactive and knowledgeable and shared her tribe history tying them to the land. The views for both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend were breathtaking. It's like nothing you could ever imagine. If you want a small group experience to truly enjoy the history and culture of the land book with Deer Spring Tours!

Must see - The drive to page Arizona through the painted desert was phenomenal. We drove to the slot Canyon with the guide in a GMC Yukon so it was a closed vehicle very comfortable. It was timed, so we were the only group in the slot Canyon at the time. We were able to go back-and-forth through the canyon and experience it without a rush, the highlight of our trip. This has to be experienced. It’s hard to explain the beauty.

Special place - I've been hoping to be able to make it to the Page area and get the chance to go through Antelope Canyon. But I had heard it had gotten incredibly crowded. So as luck would have it, I found myself there!
A really quick search and I found Deer Spring Canyon Tours and looked at a couple of the reviews and booked, and boy am I happy I did. The selfish part of me wants to not say much to really keep it one of those hidden gems because of the experience I had.
After checking in and signing the waiver, our driver/guide, myself and a family of 4 hopped into the Suburban and headed off to Secret Canyon. Our young driver (I'm so bad with names, SORRY!) was full of information and just loved to talk about all sorts of things, the stories about his grandmother were my favorites.
After a short ride we made it to the slot canyon, and how blessed were we? The 2 other vehicles that were there left moments after we arrived, so we were all alone for almost the entire time in Secret Canyon. What an amazing and beautiful moment. I was able to set up my tripod multiple times and I was able to take all the photos I wanted. After we finished, and drove back, we crossed Rt 89 and we went to this "side" view of Horseshoe Canyon, and again, we had the place to ourselves. There was a small bluff that blocked visibility to the main viewing area that the general public stops at. The entire experience was perfection. And as much as I would love to be able to keep this special, but l so very much would love the folks running this so well,they were wonderful to talk to and spend my time with, I hope you will too

Book the tour! - I was a bit hesitant to book, because they didn’t have many reviews. However, all the reviews they had were good, so I did anyway. Tyler was such a great guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour! We chose Deer Spring Tours at Secret Antelope Canyon, because we wanted to avoid the crowds and also get to see horseshoe bend without the crowds. It was SO worth it! It happed to be just our family on the tour and he let us go 100% at our own pace. He took pictures, shared his wealth of knowledge, and was super laid back. Book with Deer Spring!
