    Tanner was our tour guide and he was amazing. He had a lot of experience and shared a lot of wonderful stories and facts about Alaska. He made our tour really special by hunting northern lights all the way.

    What an incredible experience! It was our first time in Alaska, our expectations were sky high, and this did not disappoint. The scenic views and Northern Lights were breathtaking, but what really made the trip special was our tour guide, Paul. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely a great person. He went far above and beyond what was expected in so many ways including: finding ways to make our kids feel special, extending or making bonus stops based on our preferences, and not rushing us through the tour. We made unforgettable memories alongside our new friend, Paul, in Alaska.

  • Hands down! Paul’s the best guide

    This was my first time in Alaska, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paul was our guide, and he was absolutely exceptional. What stood out the most was his passion and enthusiasm. When almost everyone on the bus had fallen asleep on our way back, Paul noticed the aurora intensifying and immediately woke us up so we wouldn’t miss it. What we saw was beyond words—fast-dancing, vivid auroras that felt unreal. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. Even after we were almost back at the hotel, Paul made an extra stop in a random parking lot just because the aurora appeared again. That moment alone shows how much he truly cares about giving people the best possible experience, not just following a schedule. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me, and Paul played a huge role in making it unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in the best hands possible.

  • Paul Made Our Alaska Tour Truly Special

    his was my first Alaska tour, and it was an amazing experience! I highly recommend our tour guide, Paul. He is extremely reliable and a very experienced driver, which made us feel safe the entire time. Paul truly cares about what he does, he shared so many fun and interesting facts about Alaska, and you can really feel how much love and passion he has for this place. His energy made the trip even better, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He worked hard to find the best spots to see the Northern Lights and stopped at multiple locations so we could get better photos. That effort made a huge difference and created unforgettable memories. Big thanks as well to Josh and Susan for the delicious sandwiches-they were much appreciated! Highly recommend Paul for your next trip. He made my Alaska experience so much better! Thank you!

    Long day but the views were so worth it. The dome, the drunken forests, the enchanted forest and being able to say we have been to the Arctic Circle! The roads are rough but it’s an experience in itself with the real life ice road truckers flying by

    Paul is a very serious and friendly tour guide, carefully speaking, but also taking care of the team's various physiological needs, and strongly recommend coming to Alaska in the winter to take part in a trip to the Arctic Circle in search of the light. The road is more distant and requires mental preparation, and the best way to get a certificate across the Arctic Circle. At the same time, when the weather is more cold, you should pay attention to clothing equipment.

    The first time I came to Alaska, it was really cold, I could sit in the car with friends to the Arctic Circle very conveniently and safely, there is also a smooth view of the lights, the driver is also very good, and he talks well about preparing a snack!
