Glacier adventures - Exceeded our expectations. It’s a once in a lifetime thing to do and it was worth every dime. All the staff with Alpine air were just outstanding and Aaron Even drove us to have lunch after another couple and my friend and I flights. I would recommend this company to everybody.

Auroa Experience - Scott was an amazing guide and picked us up at our rental. He took the time to answer all of our questions in detail and wasn't in a hurry. We stayed until we were ready to come back. He shared his pictures since my camera didn't have the capability to capture the Northern Lights. He is honest and won't take you on the tour unless you have a chance to see the Aurora. We all highly recommend this company.

Northern Lights light show - We really enjoyed Scott taking the time to give some history and educational instruction to photography and the Northern Lights. He also provided us with snacks, hot beverage and a warm place to sit and wait for the lights. He truly loves what he does and the people he meets and it shows!!

Best Aurora Quest in Anchorage with Scott - Scott was amazing. He found the best place to view Northern Lights. He gives all those extra details that make your trip memorable. I also learnt photography titbits from him. He ensured we were comfortable with adequate heating.

Solo light tour - This was above and beyond what I expected. Super smooth communication with my tour guide, pick up and drop off was very helpful. He had great conversations but also felt comfortable and safe to take a nap on the way there and back. Tour was 8pm-2am so we had loads of time to relax and enjoy the views. Saw the lights around 12pm. Thank goodness I didn’t pay for any other tour that was shorter because once the other tour got there, they missed the lights and didn’t get to see them at all that night. Truly a great tour guide and highly recommend his services.

Highly recommend - Scott was information and knowledgeable and cared about the experience instead of just a booking. He took us to a spot and read the forecasts and made sure we were given the best chance at seeing a good, quality light show. We were successful and our friends and family love the pictures. We were even able to get great photos with our cell phone cameras. This was a great tour with a great guide.

Northern Lights Adventure with Scott - Look, if I could give Scott a 10 out of 5, I would. He was in contact with us days in advance, picked us up, had everything we needed, and we got to see the lights. He literally knows everything about the area and he shared all of that with us, which made the rest of our trip excellent as well. He went out of his way, over and beyond, and if we get to come back we will ask for Scott specifically. This was a superior experience.

Best-of-the-Best! - Scott is the perfect host. His knowledge of where to go to see the Northern Lights is phenomenal. He stays in touch with apps and other colleagues to assess where and when we would see the lights. Another great point is…Scott Will Not do a tour if the conditions, weather, impede seeing the lights!!! He is a wealth of local knowledge which he researches and verifies before sharing. I was so impressed with his knowledge and ability to explain how the various ranges in the apps determine the chances of seeing the aurora. As advertised he helps with camera settings and provides you with copies of photos he took. Not to only was this a bucket list item, I was so happy that I selected the Best of the Best! Thanks Scott!!!! P.S.: Snacks, water and hot beverages, and a warm vehicle made the trip a success.

Just don’t go ! - I wouldn't recommend this Northern Lights tour with Scott at all. The promises made when we booked and paid were not kept. First of all, the place where Scott took us to watch the aurora was on the side of a road with a lot of traffic, which was quite dangerous. There were supposed to be chairs and blankets for us to sit outside, but we stayed in the car all evening. It was written that we could have hand warmers, but my friend asked for them and never got them. What's more, Scott spent his time eating and sleeping, so we're the ones paying attention to the Northern Lights. Finally, Scott is a professional photographer and was supposed to give us advice on how to take photos of the Northern Lights, but we had to manage on our own, and when we asked him to take a photo of us in front of it, he made it quite clear that it bothered him because he was cold, he was wearing jeans and a light jacket, no gloves when it was -35, I don't understand. On top of that, he was falling asleep on the way back, so we were really scared. In short, don't spend your money on this excursion, download an app and get around on your own!
