We were disappointed...

3.00We were disappointed because our bus tour to Denali park was cancelled and the bus returned due to unexpected snow storm. It was not the tour companies fault. Three star review is not about the tour company. Nathan was amazing and accommodated us after we were back to Bus Depot. We were told by the Park employees that we will get refund automatically but since we booked our trip through Viator, we would need to contact them. We are hoping that we will receive our refund soon.
Price Performance very poor

5.00Great experience. Nathan did a great job getting us where we needed to be and answering our questions. He accommodated our request to forgo the dinner portion and get us back to the pick up point. Highly recommend booking with them.
