With Horseshoe Bend
An Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour means one of four listings here, and they are not interchangeable. Two start in Page, Arizona, at $170 and $556; two start in Las Vegas at $259 and run the whole day. One of the four will not say which canyon you walk. This page sets out what each description actually names.
Quick answer
The short answer. Four of the thirteen listings name Horseshoe Bend. The cheapest is a four-hour trip from Page at $170 that also takes in the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook — but its own text says Upper or Lower, so it does not commit to a canyon. The only Page listing that names the Upper canyon and Horseshoe Bend together is $556 over five and a half hours, and it carries five reviews. The two Las Vegas departures are whole days at $259.
The honest version
Two departures from Page, two from Las Vegas, and one open question.
Horseshoe Bend appears in four of the thirteen descriptions on this site, which already makes an Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour a narrow shelf rather than a broad category. Two of the four leave from Page, Arizona, and two leave from Las Vegas. The remaining nine listings are canyon walks with no viewpoint attached.
Then comes the awkward part. The cheapest of the four, a four-hour trip at $170, is written as Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon. It names Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook plainly enough, and it carries 197 reviews at 4.3, but it does not fix which canyon you walk. So it is a slot canyon and Horseshoe Bend, not a firm pairing of the Upper canyon with the bend.
The listing that does commit is the five-and-a-half-hour trip at $556. Its text names the Upper and Lower canyons, a hike to a viewpoint at Horseshoe Bend, lunch, and permits and park fees. It is also the highest fare on the site and rests on five reviews, which is a thin record however it is rated.
What the listings publish
Each point names its source. Where a description is silent, this page says so rather than borrowing the missing half from somewhere else.
The $170 trip names a slot canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook, with a Navajo guide. Its own text reads Upper or Lower, so an Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour is not what it promises in writing.
The $556 trip names the Upper and Lower canyons, a hike to a spectacular viewpoint at Horseshoe Bend, lunch, and permits and park fees included. It is the one listing that spells out everything in one sentence.
The $259 description names the Upper canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell and a stop for lunch, with photographs taken alongside a local Navajo guide inside the canyon. Lake Powell appears in this description and in no other.
The $259 listing describes a day trip to the canyon and Horseshoe Bend by coach with WiFi, with plenty of photo opportunities along the way. It says nothing about a dam overlook or a lake.
Only the five-and-a-half-hour trip at $556 states that permits and park fees are included. The other three say nothing on the subject, and this page does not extend the claim to them.
None of the four publishes how far the viewpoint is from the car park, how long you stop there, what order the stops come in, or how long the drive takes. Those numbers are not in the data and are not invented here.
The wording that matters
Its own text reads Upper or Lower, and that is the whole decision.
At $170 for four hours and three named stops, the cheapest of these listings looks like the obvious buy, and on price per hour it is. It is also the second best reviewed of the four at 197 reviews, behind nothing except the two Las Vegas days on 70 and 66.
But its description says Upper or Lower. If you have come to this site specifically for the Upper canyon — and most people reading about an Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour have — then that single word is the whole decision. A listing that does not name your canyon cannot be relied on to deliver it, and no amount of reviews changes what the text says.
One more thing worth being precise about: the web address of that listing mentions a lake, but its description does not. Lake Powell is named in exactly one description on this site, the full-day departure from Las Vegas. On the four-hour trip from Page, the stops the text names are the canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the dam overlook.

Hours and fares
Ninety minutes becomes four hours, and the fare moves with it.
A canyon walk on its own is short. The nine Upper-only listings sit mostly around ninety minutes, and the most reviewed of them — the most booked tour on this site with 2,987 reviews against 1,214 for the next — runs seventy-five to a hundred and sixty minutes at $90.
Adding Horseshoe Bend changes both numbers. The four-hour trip at $170 is roughly $80 more than that walk and more than twice as long. The five-and-a-half-hour trip at $556 adds the second canyon, lunch, permits and park fees as well, and it is the highest fare here. From Las Vegas an Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour is $259 and the entire day.
Read per hour, the four-hour trip is the most efficient of the four by a clear margin, which is exactly why its wording deserves the second reading above. The tables on this site print cost per hour for every listing, so the comparison does not rest on anyone trusting this paragraph.
What the data does not cover
Trail length, stop times, ages and group sizes: none of it is in the descriptions.
An Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour raises a specific set of practical questions, and the honest answer to most of them is that the listings do not say. How far the walk from the car park to the rim is. Whether there is shade or a handrail. How long you stop at the viewpoint. What order the stops come in.
The same goes for who the day suits. People ask about an Upper Antelope Canyon tour with kids more than almost anything else, and not one of these four descriptions publishes a minimum age, a height limit or anything about what a younger walker needs to manage. That is a question for the booking screen of the listing you choose, and it is a fair one to ask before paying.
Group sizes, what you may carry, whether a tripod is allowed, what happens if conditions change: all absent. This page could fill those gaps convincingly and would be guessing. The listing you book is the only version of those answers that binds anyone.
How to choose
Each one can be answered from the descriptions themselves, which is why these are the questions worth asking.
Then the four-hour trip at $170 is not it, because its text says Upper or Lower. The five-and-a-half-hour trip at $556 names the Upper canyon and Horseshoe Bend in one sentence.
From Page, Arizona, you have the four-hour and five-and-a-half-hour trips. From Las Vegas an Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour is a whole day at $259, on either of two listings.
Four hours, five and a half hours, or an entire day. There is nothing shorter on this list, because the shorter listings on this site do not include the viewpoint at all.
Only the $556 listing states that they are included. If that is the detail you care about, it is the one listing here whose own text covers it.
The four-hour trip holds 197 reviews at 4.3 and the two Las Vegas days hold 70 at 4.4 and 66 at 4.7. The five-and-a-half-hour trip is rated 5.0 on five reviews, which is a rating with very little behind it.
The four-hour trip adds the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook; the full-day departure from Las Vegas adds Lake Powell. Each of those appears in exactly one description, so neither is a feature of the category as a whole.
Where this page stops
Path lengths, stop times, temperatures and ages: absent from the data, absent here.
A page about an Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour could tell you how long the path to the rim is, how many minutes you get there, how hot it is in July, whether there is a barrier at the edge, how early to arrive and what to wear. None of that is published in any of the four descriptions.
Nor is the driving time from Las Vegas, the distance between stops, the size of the group or the minimum age. The restraint is deliberate: a number invented on a page like this is indistinguishable from a number taken off the listing, and only one of the two is worth planning around.
What this page can hand you is checkable: four listings naming Horseshoe Bend, two from Page at $170 and $556, two from Las Vegas at $259, one description naming the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook, one naming Lake Powell, one including permits and park fees, and one that says Upper or Lower and leaves it there.
Common questions
Yes, on four of the thirteen listings. Two start in Page at $170 and $556, and two start in Las Vegas at $259 as whole-day departures.
The four-hour trip at $170, which also takes in the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook. Read its description first: it says Upper or Lower and does not commit to a canyon.
The five-and-a-half-hour trip at $556. Its text names the Upper and Lower canyons, a hike to a viewpoint at Horseshoe Bend, lunch, and permits and park fees included.
Four hours or five and a half from Page, and a whole day from Las Vegas. An Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour is never a quick errand, because the viewpoint and the canyon are separate places.
It is named in one description only, the full-day departure from Las Vegas at $259. The four-hour trip from Page does not mention it, whatever its web address suggests.
No listing publishes a distance, a gradient or a walking time. One description calls it a hike to a spectacular viewpoint, and that is the full extent of what the data says about it.
On one of the four: the $556 trip, which states it in its own text. The other three say nothing about permits or fees, so do not assume either way.
The descriptions do not say. No minimum age, height or walking requirement is published on any of the four, so ask on the booking screen of the listing you are considering rather than trusting a guide page.
Then skip all four. Nine listings cover the canyon without a viewpoint, from $90 for seventy-five to a hundred and sixty minutes, and they hold most of the reviews on this site.
