Jet - best Whittier tour guide ever

5.00We were so lucky to have met Jet. Luckily we were on his tour. Whittier is stunning. Wherever you look the views are breathtaking. We were 6 couples and Jet learned everyone’s name in minutes. He chatted and told us everything there is to know. We saw glaciers, visited a wildlife conservancy that had bears, bison, reindeer, elk, bald eagles, owls, fox and so much more. He stopped by each animal to allow for amazing photo ops. He took tons of pictures himself and shared with all. Jet was full of knowledge. This was a day I will remember forever.
Nature around.

5.00Awesome your with Jet. Great communications before, during and after the tour. His communications skills, customer attention and stops made were fantastic. We stopped at a glacier lake, photo stops of glaciers and mountains, time at the wildlife conservation center and glacier moraine hike. We highly recommend this tour with Jet.

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed the very scenic route from Whittier to Anchorage. Holly was a very informative and entertaining guide who we immediately felt very comfortable with. She shared her love of the land and showed in depth knowledge in her answers to our questions. Particularly loved our stop at the Conservation Center. And Holy was generous in sharing the amazing pictures she took with her very good camera. They were far superior to any we managed to get 😅
Juls is amazing

5.00Juls was an absolute pleasure to have as a tour guide! With an extensive knowledge of history and great photography tips we had a wonderful time! I attached some of the flower pictures I got after her advice, nowhere near as good as Juls but so much improvement! Juls is so caring and organized, we spent the right amount of time in each place and she made sure that no one got lost or left behind!

5.00Bob was easy to deal with and made every effort to be accommodating. He gives excellent discussions of the area and points out the best views. The only animals we saw were at the rescue center but it was quite interesting. Eleven folks in the van so not crowded. His photography tips were great and am using them each day. Having water and a snack was an extra plus. We were a bit late starting due to late customers. However the visitor center is very helpful in pointing him out. We had a good time!
