Perfect in Alaska - Tour guide was great. Offered tons of information and allowed us to spend ample time in each location. On our way back from the tour, my husband spotted an eagle. She offered to circle back so that we all could see and take pictures (two eagles with a baby eagle and a magpie). The weather was perfect! We also saw Belugas- once you knew what to look.

Happy Trees - Mathew was a wonderful tour guide for my family. He kept my kids interested and cracked jokes we thought were funny. My 7 year old daughter loved JB one of the older grizzly bears. She thought his initials stood for “Joe Biden” which everyone laughed. The enchanted forest walk we all enjoyed.

Informative and Entertaining - Matt was an excellent tour guide. He was very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and entertaining. It was so nice of him to tell us the best picture spots and to take photos of everyone. He made sure to time everything so that we could see the animals when they were the most active at the wildlife preserve. Something else I appreciated was that he was kind to everyone he came across... other tour guides, the cashier at the preserve, etc. We loved seeing the glaciers, rain forest, and preserve. Matt was also great about giving recommendations for where to eat and things to do in Anchorage. The tour was definitely worth the price!

Very good - Great tour, would give it a 5/5 but our driver talked WAY too much, like an uncomfortable amount of forced conversation . She wouldnt turn off her mic even when having a private conversation with one of the other tour goers in the copilot seat

Would recommend but weather dependant - Overall this tour was good. The visit to the Wildlife Conservation Center was the bulk of the trip and the animals were amazing. However, it rained throughout the day and overcast so we couldn't see much of any of the glaciers. The rainforest was small and took 10-15 minutes to walk the loop; it was not the highlight of the experience. So, while Melissa was an excellent tour guide, I experienced better parts of Anchorage and other tours.
