Great experience! - Loved seeing the sea planes. We got to see a moose! Being able to see the Ulu knives being made, learning about the earthquake, and all the beautiful scenery. Our guide Donna was very knowledgeable and being a local for decades, she had a lot of really good stories.

Great Day in Anchorage! - My mom and I had a fantastic time. Donna was very informative, friendly and we really enjoyed the sights and learning about her history. We took a break from the tour to take another party to the airport, when they were running late, then happily continued on the tour.

The Tour of a Lifetime - This amazing tour ranks as my very favorite excursion that I’ve ever experienced - this being said, of course Alaska has plenty enough natural wonders as it stands - but all of that was so richly planned out, beautifully enhanced by our knowledgeable, fun, witty and super hospitable tour guide, Ben! I learned SO very much and was so wildly fascinated by all of the stories, facts, and historical significances he shared throughout our tour. Safety is also an important factor, and all during the entire trip, I felt comfortable and perfectly safe even at close up observations of the wildlife we discovered and observed along the way - I mean this trip was simply incredible. Ben’s descriptions and shared experiences were so vivid and interesting, it felt as if we all were being transported back to that very moment when they took place. Amazing. And did I mention that we were allowed to sample mouthwatering and delectable treats created by local vendors and watch live craftsmen create beautiful products - all skillfully manufactured to perfection. So awesome! Although I could have toured forever and will always want to return for more wonderful journeys, our tour wrapped up in just the perfect amount of time! I felt wonderfully fulfilled with all of our fabulous hours we spent exploring, and though Ben was such a terrific and generous ambassador to introduce us all to this unique and beautiful part of the country, (and I could have stayed all day to hear more adventurous tales and fantastic factoids)- I floated away from the steps of our van totally in awe of having just taken the most thrilling of thrill rides of my life! Simply Amazing! I can’t believe all we experienced for such a great price! I’ll never forget our time together! Thanks, Ben. My life has been so greatly enriched!
