Cruising through Alaska - Let me first talk about our guide. Jet is a wonderful guide that had plenty of knowledge about Alaska in the whole. Very informative, entertaining, and fun. He has a great personality and a really great attitude about quick changes. I would definitely recommend him as a guide. He's a strong asset to the company. If you visit Anchorage. And have time to go take a tour. This is the company and the guide you want. We can't wait to plan our next adventure. Thank you, Jet, for being our guide.

Going on an Anchorage Glacier Hike? Ask for Jet! - If you’ve ever been on a tour anywhere for anything, you know that the tour guide sets the vibe. The wildlife glacier hike with Jet is not a 6 hour walk on a mountain side, but a combination of scenic road views with many gram-worthy photo stops, fun facts and personable conversation, good snacks and gorgeous waterfalls, and a guide as enthusiastic as the guests to experience why everyone comes to see Alaska! Don’t hesitate to book this tour…and ask for Jet!

Anchorage excursion tour - Aaron is the best travel guider,he is not only generally introduced each place but also told us details from history, zoology, botanics, geology, ecology to many other topics. We learned a lot so that we would like to Anchorage again and refer to our friends. Aaron is enthusiastic, companionate, friendly. We like him!

Tour Down the Coast - I was in Anchorage for a short time for work. My coworker and I had one afternoon to explore when we landed and this was the perfect tour for it. Patrick our guide offered such a calm demeanor with great history while showing us along the coast before stopping at the wildlife conservation center and more into the forest for glaciers up close. This is right for… Those who want nice sights without a lot of driving or walking Have a limited amount of time and cannot go too far outside of city center Aren’t comfortable self guiding or don’t have a car Thank you again Patrick!

Amazing escape from Anchorage to See the Real Alaska - Patrick was great guide who took us around to some really beautiful parts of Alaska. I'm still new to the area so I can't tell you exactly where we went, but we saw some amazing glaciers and had some really cool experiences that we could have had without a guide. I'm also a little better at taking photos which is exciting! Pretty glad I did this.

Many iconic vistas for great photos - This was a wonderful tour. Jet was our tour guide and he was very knowledgable about the history, animal life, glaciers, and waterways. He took us to some of the most beautiful places and pointed out the best vistas and angles for photos. Jet also had a very nice camera and took pictures for us which he later emailed to us at no extra charge. Jet was born and raised in Anchorage so he knew many of the less visited sites and areas. The van was comfortable, there were bathroon stops and water and snacks were available. This was a great tour to visit some of the more iconic places in and around Anchorage and to see glaciers, waterfalls, trout streams and many other sites.
