Entertaining safe exciting

5.00Amazing trip. Super comfortable and safe ride with a great guide. Ian is versed in Alaskan history, wildlife, weather and so much more. He’s superb driver, with fully equipped car. When talking in CB radio with truckers on the road he shows respect and kindness. We had great music for our ride and he didn’t mind when we all started singing along. It was best carpool karaoke. Ian is a good singer too. The trip passes many different eco biomes. Very interesting and never boring. Accommodating, comfortable, safe, entertaining. I would highly recommend taking a tour with him. Ian, thank you so so much. The Grants of Enumclaw.

Arctic Circle expedition for those who appreciated the journey

5.00Ian is good driver, provided comfort on safety with his experience and very familiar with the journey to Arctic Circle. The journey to Arctic circle passed through the enchanted forest that is low in visibility and icy road. The road is muddy and slippery after rain in past days however Ian controlled the vehicle very well. It is remote highway with no network and basically rely on wakie talkie and satellite phone. We heard the road is dusty during summer and icy during winter. Here we experienced muddy and icy routes. We stopped over at Yukon camp which is clean and tidy and a must stop over after a long drive. When we stepped into his car we wonder why the car is kind of dirty however after completing the tour the whole car was in brown color and muddy. Arctic circle exploration through Dalton highway is really once in a lifetime experience and private tour provided the flexibility though it is expensive. Luck is not with us as there was no northern light and low alert that night.

5.00Ian was a very good guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the different sites. We asked questions about different things we saw and he was very informative. Very friendly and accommodating. He was sorry the weather was not cooperating for us the see the northern lights due to the clouds and rain. He did point out the fresh snow that was on the top of some of the mountains.

Drive in the Dalton highway is once in a lifetime experience. We couldn’t see the Aurora because it was cloudy other than that it was a wonderful experience.

5.00Ian was fantastic. Told great stories, had a play list of classic rock songs and made sure we saw all the sites. I also appreciated the respect he showed for the trucks on the road. He always used the CB to ask to pass when the trucker said it was safe and ready. Take good care Ian. Rick & Treva, Jim & Debbie……

1.00Why do you ask for a review when the tour was cancelled by the operator? Looks like its a frequent occurrence with this Operator
