Great tour - Alan, our driver, did a fantastic job in getting us to the Arctic Circle and back. He was kind enough to make several stops that we used to take photos and just stretch our legs. The van was very comfortable and I really liked that there were only five people on the bus so it was not crowded at all. The bus temperature was good and we had no issues. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in going to the Arctic Circle.

Visiting the Arctic Circle - Aaron was a great guide and a very professional and courteous driver. The scenery was absolutely driving and I can finally say I've been to the arctic circle. The camp we stopped at for dinner served delicious food. We got to sled on the frozen Yukon River and stopped along the way for many pretty photo ops. The aurora started hidden unfortunately, but it wasn't for lack of trying to find it. It was a long day of riding, but well with it to say you've been to the arctic circle.

Bucket list and bragging rights! - The Arctic Circle has always been on my bucket list and this was the best way to get there. Our driver, Alan, was fantastic! He was very kind, friendly, professional, and a great driver. Although the drive is long, we had many stops along the way and the van was comfortable which makes all the difference. Having a great driver and guide like Alan was very important. He shared stories and provided information, answered all our questions, and stopped at several interesting sights including the Alaskan Pipeline, the Ghost Forest of trees, and the Dalton Highway sign. We arrived at the Arctic Circle, took pictures, and got our bragging rights certificate. We had a delicious dinner and a remote outpost next to the Yukon river, and luckily, we were also able to see the Aurora! Alan took great care and pride in finding the Aurora for us and took lots of pictures for us. He was GREAT!!

Well worth it, must do when in Fairbanks - Alan was a friendly and knowledgable guide. He made lots of stops for us to enjoy the natural landscape around us on our way. The trip was safe and exactly as advertised. Seeing the arctic circle was surreal and learning about the pipeline was interesting. The only negative is that I wish the trip had been more educational so we could learn more about the unique environment, wildlife, northern lights, special properties of the arctic circle.

Amazing experience. - Absolutely wonderful experience. My wife and I really enjoyed it. We were so amazed at the birds on the arctic circle. The are not afraid of people at all. It's amazing.. they even picked food from our hands. Alan our guide was very accommodating. definitely an amazing guide. This experience was definitely very memorable for me and my wife.. but please set your expectations accordingly. This is a trip to the arctic circle and it's very remote. There are a few stops and the scenery is amazing with all the snow. and you'll get a chance to take a photo at the end marking the beginning of the artic circle.

A worthwhile experience - A bucket list experience! Our driver Alan was friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed our tour even though it was a very long drive. The scenery was amazing. We wish there had been more commentary about the mountain ranges, wildlife, the Dalton Highway, and other things we saw along the way, but definitely worthwhile.
