Excellent tour! Our guide Savvy was delightful: punctual, friendly, and very informative. I learned a lot from the varied itinerary. Definitely worth the price and the investment of an afternoon. I also really appreciated being picked up and dropped off at my duplex. Highly recommend!

I did my solo Alaska trip and it was easy, comfortable, and truly enjoyable. Every part of the journey, from exploring the pipeline, visiting the museum, to stopping by the charming Santa Claus House, was seamless and memorable. Savvy mu tour guild, her friendly and guidance made everything stress-free, and she went out of her way to make sure I had the best experience possible. She even helped capture great photos along the way, which made the memories even more special. Thanks to her, I got to enjoy Alaska to the fullest and came away with an unforgettable adventure!
