Our guide - Bob was great. Very knowledgeable, patient and took the time to get to know all of us in the group and know each other. At the center - we saw it all - the bears, moose, wolves, bison, and more! Great trip and tour.

Bob was a great guide, he was in communication hours before. He was pretty knowledgeable sharing history of Alaska, Anchorage, wildlife, natives. He was always encouraging to get out of the van to take pictures.
