awesome tour! - IT WAS AMAZING! Got to travel with Matt and he really knew his stuff! He was a great driver; so accommodating for accessibility needs — both for language and mobility! Absolute gem of a trip and it’s the best to get both all the knowledge and all the laughs! Thank you!

Book now!!! - FANTASTIC! You will not regret booking this tour. Gary was so fun, personable, and informed about every sight and spot. He took photos for us at all the scenic places and was so passionate about the beauty that it felt even more beautiful to us, too. He always had an anecdote to fill the air and we could feel how much he truly loves Alaska and the people he meets doing these tours. The glacial lakes were breathtaking and we learned a lot about the landscape and wildlife. This was the perfect introduction to Alaska for my family — we had a blast and we were so impressed by Gary. Thank you so much!!

Worth it - Highly Recommend! Matthew was absolutely fantastic, he was funny and educational. Simply getting a ride to each of these breathtaking stops would have been worth the price of admission, but Matt taught us how to see Alaska through a different lens. Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to fully appreciate such wonders.

Very Informative Ride - It was mostly ride and look. The guide had a lot of knowledge, and his presentation was very informative about everything we saw in the way down the wildlife, and Turnagain Arm itself. The best part was Portage Glacier Valley, but it takes a while to drive down there. We were able to get out and take some pictures there. It's beautiful.

It was a beautiful sunny... - It was a beautiful sunny day. Abe had a lot of information to share. This was not our original tour we booked but it was nice. We had already gone on a similar tour the day before. We learned several interesting facts about the area

Do not waste your time - Our tour was cancelled and we are updated to same tour with wildlife sanctuary. The tour was exactly the same thing you will see on a bus ride from anchorage to Whittier. We actually captured better photos on the coach bus. If you like to see the wildlife of Alaska behind barbed wire then this is the tour for you. Quite boring and a waste of money

very disappointed in their unprofessional actions - Booked tour and it was cancelled for my time slot and they supposedly offered upgrade to another time slot. When we arrived the bus was not there yet and the guy at checkin said go into coffee shop, which is where his desk is located' and get coffee and snack if we liked. We did and then came out to load when van arrived. Not any seats together period. Why would a couple book a tour on vacation and choose to set apart 4 hours and not be able to talk and share the experience? Then they try to lie on another site and blame us for not getting in van first. DO NOT BOOK. They refused refund and wanted us to book anther tour. Our trip was full so we could NOT do this.

Separation by Van - My Tour time was changed due to not enough people on my group. So they crammed us all on a Van me and my Husband was the last to get on so we were not even sitting together. The tour was a 4-5 hour tour so I asked for a refund and was going to go about my way. They refused and tried to make me reschedule but I couldn't but still no refund. They were very Unprofessional and very Rude.
