Awesome. The Navajo guide was so helpful. The scenery with the red rocks was truly a sight. Horseshoe Bend view was so beautiful. Lake Powell and dam unreal!! Our van driver and tour escort was very knowledgeable. Wish we had had more time to visit other canyons in the area. Plan a return trip.

The tour was really worth the price. The driver was really helpful. The Horsheo Bend and Antelope Canyon X is a must visit!

Photographers dream

Leigh_D, Apr 2024

Everything was incredibly well done smooth it was awesome! I really like the fact that the guy gave us tips on what filters to use in the canyon to photograph because my photos came out amazing

Very poor experience

Stacey_W, Mar 2024

1) it was a 13-14 hour journey. Driver made no attempts whatsoever to tell us where we are at , what we are seeing , when is our next stop 2) the mode of transport was terribly cramped for this journey. Too many of us in the vehicle, we had no leg space and the air was incredibly stale at the end of it all 3) again back to the driver. He seems very weak at under basic request Both antelope canyon and horse shoe bend is a must visit , but I will suggest that you use another tour operator

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We were anticipating your review, as we recall your initial disappointment upon realizing that you were booked on a small group tour rather than a private one. We want to address some of the points raised in your review to clarify our position and the quality of service we strive to provide. Firstly, regarding the comfort of our vehicles, it's important to note that the van used for your tour was indeed spacious, with 14 seats available and only 10 of those occupied on the day of your trip. This setup is designed to ensure that all our guests have ample space and comfort during their journey. We take pride in the quality and maintenance of our vehicles. As for the interaction with our drivers, we encourage them to be friendly and engaging, providing a welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. While the drive to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend does not always allow for continuous commentary, our drivers are trained to be responsive and informative to passengers who express interest in learning more about the area. Once at the Canyon, our tour guides take over, offering in-depth knowledge and ensuring plenty of opportunities for photos and exploration. We're proud of their expertise and the positive feedback they consistently receive. We understand that the tour did not meet your expectations, and for that, we are genuinely sorry. However, we must express our concern over the review suggesting issues that we believe do not accurately reflect the service provided or the conditions of the tour. We are committed to transparency and honesty in all our communications and services, and we feel it's crucial to clarify these points for the sake of future guests and the integrity of our tours. We value all feedback as it helps us to improve and refine our offerings.

Warm regards, Mario Marvit Tours

The places were breathtaking!

Briar_D, Mar 2024

Luis was amazing. He told us the plan and when we would do our stops. He even took pictures for us. He was helpful and all smiles. The places were breathtaking! I do wish we had more time, since it goes by fast. but it’s nice to know what to put on our list of places to go. The drive was beautiful. Got to watch the sunrise and the sunset. I wish we had done more tours in our short time.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello, we are happy to hear you had an amazing experience and that Luis was amazing! We hope to see you again soon on your next adventure!

Nightmare

Yuthaphong_A, Feb 2024

The trip very rushed for the Antelope! I don’t have a time to take much pictures. Whole of the trip I need to sit on the sharp seatbelt. It was very bad more than 10 hours, go and back. That hurt my butt and my back. It was a nightmare. The driver so friendly with everyone laughing loudly in the car whole the way accept me. Some how he ignored me. I paid more than 700 for this trip for my friends and myself but I am only one got very bad experience. I started thinking about Asia Racist because driver and the other customer talking about Made in china stuff and many things. He even show a Chinese actor and said I look like twins to him. Excuse me, I am from Thailand not Chinese. I was there with everyone but he now even looks at me.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Yuthaphong, I am the manager from Marvit Tours, and I would like to address the concerns you raised regarding your recent tour with us. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you encountered, and we have initiated a thorough investigation into the matter. It's come to our attention that during the tour, the dynamics may have been less inclusive due to the varying interaction levels amongst guests. Our driver has expressed that while you were quieter, other guests were more talkative, which might have led to an unintended imbalance in engagement. He extends his heartfelt apologies if this made you feel left out—it was never his intention to exclude you from the conversation. As for the comment about resembling a Chinese actor, it seems that it was actually someone from your group that showed him a picture of the actor and asked the driver if he thinks you liked like him. The driver casually agreed with another passenger's remark, rather than a deliberate attempt to misidentify your heritage. Our driver meant no disrespect; he was trying to be polite without realizing the impact. While we are not able to process a refund, we want to assure you that we take your feedback seriously and are committed to improving our services to prevent such misunderstandings in the future. We hope you will accept our sincere apologies for any discomfort caused. Should you wish to discuss this further, please contact us directly. Your experience and satisfaction are important to us, and we are here to help. Warm regards, Mario Customer Service Team Marvit Tours
