Hjertet af Fairbanks Tour Kultur, historie og sjov

After such a wonderful experience the day before, we booked a second tour with AK Bucket List Tours, and we're so glad we did! Since my daughter is interested in attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks to study Wildlife Biology and Conservation, Gina helped us customize the beginning of our day to include UAF's Large Animal Research Station (LARS). Our guide, Kendell, took us there first, where we learned all about muskoxen, reindeer (and how they differ from caribou), and bison. It was an incredible experience and a perfect addition to our visit to UAF. Next, Kendell took us to The Crepery for brunch, and it was absolutely delicious! After picking up another couple, we continued on to the Heart of Fairbanks Tour. One of our stops was the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, where Kendell explained not only how it was built, but why it was engineered the way it was. Throughout the drive, he shared fascinating facts about Fairbanks, the surrounding landscape, local wildlife, and the science behind the region. We especially appreciated how much context he gave us; as a science teacher myself, it made every stop even more meaningful. We also visited North Pole, explored the Great Alaska Bowl Company for unique souvenirs, and stopped at the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center, where we learned about Alaska's rich history, cultures, and the people who have called this region home. We finished the day at the Museum of the North on the UAF campus, which was the perfect ending to our trip. The exhibits beautifully tied together everything we had learned over the past two days: from Alaska's geology and wildlife to its Indigenous cultures and history. Both Gina and Kendell were fantastic guides, and what really stood out to us was how willing they were to customize our experience around our interests while sharing their genuine passion for Alaska. We highly recommend AK Bucket List Tours to anyone visiting Fairbanks!

Knowledgeable driver/guide. Saw good highlights of Fairbanks. Would've liked more time at the museum

Great experience! I was solo and joined another couple. It was a great intimate tour that allowed me see so much of the city before I had to sadly head home.

Packed in some great Fairbanks sights. Combined history, culture and interesting facts. Our guide was great.

We had a great time with Kendall as our guide. You can tell he has a passion for what he does. The pipeline was so interesting and I learned so much about it. The North Pole stop is great if you’re looking for a gift. For me I loved the bowl factory stop. They are just beautiful. The last stop was the museum where I could have spent more time. So much to see and read. This is a great tour with a little bit of everything. There were only a total of five guest so it was perfect.

Tour picked up at hotel spent four hours with visit to north poll, wood carving and museum of Alaska - You should take snacks - and water as you would need on your own with visits. Retuned to hotel. Traveled by van - good tour guide with knowledge of the area

Gina very friendly and informative. She looked for ways to make our trip enjoyable

Was informative and nice but little less than 4 hours. Recommended we try to get to pioneer village with old ships and stores. Wondering why we didn't go on what was supposed to be a 5 hour tour

Visited places in Fairbanks that we did not see with our cruise excursions. The museum at the University of Alaska was the highlight.

Gina was our tour guide. The two of us were the only people on her tour that morning. Gina was flexible in where she took us based on our interest of what we wanted to see and do. She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend Gina. Excellent tour guide.
