The most booked two-day small-group tour sits in the centre. Beside it: the one-day run that
reaches the rim at dawn, and the same operator's three-day loop with Bryce and Monument Valley.
Two days in a 14-seat minivan: Zion, Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, a night in Page or Flagstaff, then the Grand Canyon South Rim and Route 66.
What's included
Hotel night in Page or Flagstaff (one room per booking)
Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend entry fees
Hotel pickup within 2 miles of the Strip, air-conditioned minivan, water
Two breakfasts; lunch and dinner are not included
Not included: $30 guide service fee, $100 non-US resident park fee
The prices look far apart until you add what each one leaves out. The real differences are where
you sleep, how long you get at the rim, whether Antelope Canyon is in the price, and how early you start.

Grand Canyon & Antelope Canyon 2-Day Tour
Page or Flagstaff
Antelope, Horseshoe Bend and the rim without a midnight start
Non-US residents aged 16 and over pay an extra $100 per person at the Grand Canyon, Zion
and Bryce, usually collected on the day; the Antelope-only day tour avoids it. MaxTour adds a $30 guide service fee
and refunds in full up to 6 days before; the one-day tours and the Bindlestiff two-day cancel free up to 24 hours before.
The route
Two days, four landscapes: and the sunrise is not a given.
The two-day loop draws a circle through the desert. Day one heads north-east from Las Vegas through
Zion, crosses into Arizona to Lower Antelope Canyon, the Navajo slot canyon you walk through with a
guide, and ends above the Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend. You sleep in Page or Flagstaff. Day two drives
to the Grand Canyon South Rim for about three hours of viewpoints, then home along Route 66.
One honest correction. The old Viator link for this trip is still named the "Two-Day Sunrise Tour", but today
it opens a three-day itinerary, and the current two-day plan does not promise a sunrise at the rim: the hotel is
two to three hours' drive away. If a Grand Canyon sunrise is the point of your trip, choose a tour that sleeps
in Tusayan or Cameron, or the midnight departure, and treat the two-day tour as the relaxed all-rounder it is.

Pickup, prices and fees, the rules and what to pack: one tab each.
Hotel pickup covers hotels within about 2 miles of the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas.
Pickups start 30 to 60 minutes before the 6:00 AM departure; the exact time comes by email the day before.
To speed things up you may be asked to walk to a hotel next door or across the street.
Booked within 24 hours of departure? Hotel pickup is not offered, so book earlier.
Pack one small overnight bag: the van has limited space.
The two-day MaxTour tour is from about $400 per person, one hotel room per booking.
Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend fees are included; so is Grand Canyon entry for US residents.
Extra: lunch and dinner, the $30 guide service fee, tips, and $100 per non-US resident aged 16 and over.
Prices on Viator move with the date; the checkout price is the one that counts.
Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a Navajo guide; tripods, monopods and selfie sticks are not allowed.
Not wheelchair accessible; not advised with back problems, heart conditions or in pregnancy.
MaxTour refunds in full up to 6 days before, 50% from 2 to 6 days, nothing inside 2 days.

Where the tour goes
The two-day loop
Las Vegas to Page and the South Rim
Las Vegas, Nevada · Page, Arizona · Grand Canyon Village, Arizona
The tour starts and ends at your Las Vegas hotel. Page, home of Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, is about
270 miles north-east; the South Rim is about 135 miles south of Page, and about 275 miles back to Las Vegas.
Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time all year, while the Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon lies, uses
daylight saving time, so in summer your canyon slot runs an hour ahead of Page.

★★★★★
It was such a well organized tour, with enough stops that the trip didn't take long. Our driver Dale was so nice and helpful. I would go again and again.
★★★★★
This tour is worth taking if you have 2 days to spare. The itinerary is well curated, with enough time in each place. The hotel choice is decent and clean.
★★★★★
I went solo to this trip and everything was worth it. When we arrived at the canyon it was sunrise - makes the photo beautiful and stunning.
★★★★★
As a solo traveller, I felt well looked after by our guide Momo. The van was comfortable and we were provided with lots of water and snacks. My favourites were Horseshoe Bend and Zion NP.
★★★★★
It was a lot of experiences packed into 2 days. Antelope Canyon is so amazing. It is crazy how many different colors and shapes it has. Our favorite!
★★★★★
Saved time by not having to plan. Saw amazing sites, didn't have to drive. Never felt rushed. I'm 40 and my mom is 70 and in great shape. Lots of walking! Amazing experience!
★★★★★
This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to the States from the UK. Justin was our brilliant tour guide, so knowledgeable.
★★★★★
Ken was an AMAZING tour guide who shared his knowledge of the area and even took us to bonus stops along the way, all while keeping good time. We never felt rushed.
★★★★★
This is a great small group tour. Just the right amount of time at each location. The driver was fantastic and all accommodations were as expected or better.
Driving yourself?
Book Antelope Canyon direct
With a rental car you do not need a tour from Las Vegas, but you still need a Navajo guide to
enter the canyon. This is the most reviewed Upper Antelope tour in Page.
Upper Antelope Canyon Guided Tour from Page
★ 4.7 · 2,116 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes
Driving yourself, or staying a night in Page? Skip the long van days and book the canyon direct: a Navajo guide takes you through Upper Antelope Canyon, the A-shaped slot famous for its midday light beams, in about an hour and twenty minutes. All Navajo fees and taxes are included.
The Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon sit about 135 miles apart and four to five hours from Las
Vegas, which is why a two-day tour with a night in Page is the sweet spot. Here is what you get, what you pay
on top, and how to choose between the overnight, the one-day dash and the longer loops.
What the two-day tour is, and what it isn't
MaxTour's small-group overnight is a guided road trip in a 14-seat minivan. Day one covers Zion National Park,
a Navajo-guided walk through Lower Antelope Canyon and the Horseshoe Bend overlook; you sleep in Page or Flagstaff
in a Comfort Inn, Days Inn or similar. Day two is the Grand Canyon South Rim, about three hours of viewpoints, and
a Route 66 stop on the way back. It is not a hiking trip, there is no time to walk below the rim, and it is not a
sunrise tour, whatever the old link name suggests.
Navajo guides lead every Antelope Canyon visit and know the best photo angles.
What it really costs
The tour is from about $400 per person on Viator in 2026, with one hotel room per booking. That covers the hotel,
two breakfasts, transport, the Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend fees and Grand Canyon entry for US residents. On
top, budget for two lunches and a dinner, the $30 guide service fee and tips. Since January 2026, visitors who are
not US residents also pay $100 per person aged 16 and over to enter the Grand Canyon and Zion, usually
collected on the day. For a couple from abroad, that is roughly $1,100 to $1,200 all in.
The honest small print: the complaints are rarely about the canyons. They are about long
drives, a cramped back row for groups of four, and the extras above. Ask for seating when you check in, bring cash
for meals and fees, and know that the 6-day cancellation window is stricter than the usual 24 hours.
One day, two days or three?
The one-day sunrise tour is the cheapest way to see both canyons, from about $328, but it leaves at midnight,
lasts 18 hours and gives you around 40 minutes at each Grand Canyon viewpoint. The two-day tour costs a little
more and adds a bed, Zion, and three hours at the rim. The three-day loop doubles the price and adds Bryce
Canyon and Monument Valley with most meals included. If you only want Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, the
15-hour day tour from about $160 skips the national park fees entirely.
The South Rim is cold early in the day for much of the year: pack a warm layer.
Making the most of the two days
Pack a small overnight bag, wear layers and closed shoes, and charge your phone each night. Leave tripods and
selfie sticks in the van, because they are banned in Antelope Canyon. Eat a good breakfast in Page, and if the
sunrise matters to you, ask your guide whether the day's schedule allows an early rim stop, or book one of the
tours that sleep beside the canyon.
Night one is a simple, clean motel in Page or Flagstaff, one room per booking.
Straight answers to what travelers ask most about the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tours.
Can you see the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon in two days from Las Vegas?
Yes, and two days is the comfortable way to do it. The most booked tour, MaxTour's small-group overnight, visits Zion, Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend on day one, sleeps in Page or Flagstaff, and spends about three hours at the Grand Canyon South Rim on day two before driving back. See the tours.
How much is a Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tour from Las Vegas?
Two-day small-group tours run from about $400 to $425 per person in 2026, and three-day loops from about $800. One-day marathons start around $328. On top, budget for lunch and dinner, a $30 guide service fee on the MaxTour tour, tips, and the $100 national park fee if you are not a US resident. See the price guide.
Does the two-day tour include a Grand Canyon sunrise?
Not on the current MaxTour itinerary. The Viator page still carries a "Two-Day Sunrise Tour" name in an old link, but the published two-day plan spends the night in Page or Flagstaff and reaches the South Rim on day two. For a real sunrise at the rim, pick a tour that sleeps in Tusayan or Cameron, or the midnight departure. Read the sunrise guide.
Do foreign visitors pay the $100 Grand Canyon fee on a tour?
Yes. Since January 1, 2026, non-US residents aged 16 and over pay an extra $100 per person at the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canyon, and it applies to tour groups too. Most tours collect it on the day, not at booking. Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are not national parks, so they are not affected. Details in the fee guide.
Which part of Antelope Canyon do the tours visit?
The two-day tours on this page go to Lower Antelope Canyon, the narrower slot with steel stairs and ladders. The one-day sunrise tour uses Lower Antelope or Antelope Canyon X. Upper Antelope, the flat walk famous for light beams, is a separate booking from Page. Compare them in Upper vs Lower Antelope Canyon.
Can I visit Antelope Canyon without a tour?
No. Antelope Canyon is on Navajo Nation land and you can only enter with a Navajo guide. The tours from Las Vegas include that guided visit and the Navajo fee; if you drive yourself, book a timed tour in Page ahead.
Is lunch included on the two-day tour?
No. The MaxTour overnight includes two breakfasts, bottled water and snacks, but lunch and dinner are paid by you at stops along the way. The three-day version includes most meals.
Is Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon in one day worth it?
Only if you have one day. Same-day tours run 15 to 18 hours, often leave around midnight, and give you about 40 minutes at each Grand Canyon viewpoint. The overnight tour spends similar money for a bed, a shorter van day and more time at the rim. See one day vs two days.
What should I wear on a Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tour?
Layers. Mornings at the South Rim can be near freezing in spring and autumn while Page is hot by noon. Wear closed shoes for the sand and stairs, bring a fleece, sunglasses, a hat and a water bottle, and leave tripods, selfie sticks and big bags in the van. See what to wear.
Where does the tour pick up in Las Vegas?
MaxTour picks up at hotels within about 2 miles of the Strip and Downtown, starting 30 to 60 minutes before the 6:00 AM departure. You get an email the day before with the exact time and place, and you may be asked to walk to a neighbouring hotel.
Can I cancel a Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tour?
It depends on the tour. The MaxTour two- and three-day tours refund in full up to 6 days before, and 50% between 2 and 6 days. The one-day tours and the Bindlestiff two-day tour cancel free up to 24 hours before.
Is the two-day tour good for kids?
For school-age kids who cope with long drives, yes. Under-16s are exempt from the $100 park fee, and Horseshoe Bend is a short, easy walk. Lower Antelope Canyon has steep stairs, and some Antelope tours do not take very young children, so check the age rules before you book.
