Tour guide was the absolute best guide you could hope for. We left the tour knowing so much about Alaska that we couldnt learn just exploring on our own. He made the tour comfortable for everyone as well as a safe and on schedule. Would recommend this tour to everyone wanting to have a educational and very fun learning trip.
Best tour ever!

Had a great tour with Matthew. Very knowledgeable guide but also made it fun. Was very good at spotting animals in the wild for us-we saw bald eagles and Dall sheep. The stop at the Wildlife Conservation Center was awesome-enjoyed seeing brown bears and a grizzly playing in the snow as well as lots of other native animals.
