Jeremy was welcoming, knowledgeable, and had a great attitude throughout the tour. He was very accommodating and made sure we had plenty of time to take pictures and soak in the stunning beauty of Alaska. The entire experience was wonderful, breathtaking views, a relaxed pace, and a guide who clearly loves what he does. It was truly a memorable adventure.
Great half a day trip
