Learn more about Alaska - Gary was a great tour guide. I had been on an 11-day Alaska bus tour, so I thought I had heard a lot of information on the state. Gary proved me wrong. Also, he was very generous in allowing us to take photos at various stops, and acted as a photographer with many participants.

Wonderful Scenic and Educational Tour! - Matt was very helpful and quite knowledgeable. His tour was interesting, and he had everyone asking questions. When I was unable to see something due to medical limitations, he offered to take pictures of what everyone was seeing. He physically helped me to get in and out of the vehicle. I thought he was a genuinely friendly and helpful person. I learned a lot about the geology of Alaska, animals, culture, and history. I loved seeing the wildlife conservation program. I would highly recommend this tour.

Disappointing Rain Forest Experience - As all nature related tours a lot depends on luck and the whims of nature. Our guide, Melissa was friendly and knowledgable enough but seemed a little lacking in time management skills. She left us- all the tour members, waiting at an unnecessary break stop for +/-15 minutes while she was getting coffee (sic). As a result she shorted us at the glacier stops. To her credit she gave us ample time to photograph the Dall Sheep a tour participant saw while drivig past the Beluga point. Also, too much time was spent at the Wildlife recues facility (that may be my bias). In summary, this was the worst Tour , of the many we took during our trip.
