5.00Great small group tour of Fairbanks hitting several major cultural stops and Santa’s Village. It was clear our tour guide Pepper loves her job and her city and is delighted to share it with people. She was enthusiastic and accommodating of our interests and told great stories, giving a lot of tidbits of information along the way. Seeing both the Museum of the North and the Morris Cultural center gave us such a great overview of the people here. I’d recommend this tour to anyone with limited time as it covers many highlights in a short time,

5.00The guys were amazing! We arrived 1 day early to settle in and booked our tour. Our guide was incredible, very knowledgeable and informative, and fun! She made the tour even better with her great personality. We also had 2 other folks from the company as well, the “Boss” and a very friendly media person. All in all this was a great way to start our vacation and we highly recommend these folks, definitely 5 stars+! Thanks guys!
Expectations were met and exceeded throughout our tour!

5.00The amazing staff guided the tour specially for our group and adjusted as needed for our friends with limited mobility. The van driver fed the energy and kept our eyes and ears engaged. They were diligent to follow up during activities to ensure we all enjoyed the experiences for as much or as little as we wanted to engage. A superb tour group I would use again and recommend to all who are visiting the area.

4.00Our guide Savvy was very, very good personable and knowledgeable. The Van was quite comfortable. There was only one admission fee which the guide paid for at the college museum of the north. To us, this stop was a waste of time and money. The other stops where very good with the pipeline being questionable. Tour ran about 1 hour more than advertised. All in all a good tour and a decent price worth the money.
