We had a wonderful time today on the Fairbanks history tour. Colleen was fun, knowledgeable and overall amazing! Highly recommend!
A delightful tour! Our guide, Zac was the perfect combination of driver, local expert and organizer, and he was great fun! We like to learn about local places, activities and issues and we got all that on this tour. Two great museums, the pipeline and other stops make the tour excellent We recommend highly!
Thank you Daniel!!! Great tour with great information. Very attentive to our needs and made the excursion great.
Our tour guide Zac, made the tour worth doing! Very kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and tall! Learned so much about Fairbanks and his girlfriend without even asking! Best part was seeing reindeer for the first time, and watching tour guide shake snow out of a tree bare handed! Thank you Zac for a delightful tour about the town!
Dan introduced us to the city, and we had such a wonderful time! We’ll definitely reach out to him if we ever need anything again.
Mr. Claws is so nice; he truly shares what the real life of a native Alaskan is like!
The 2 museums were fantastic, could have spent more time there. North Pole was kitschy, touristy,
Both museums were terrific. Pipeline was much more interesting than I expected. North Pole is just a fun thing to say you have visited! Colleen did a great job of making all the stops interesting, and of sharing her personal knowledge as an Alaska native.
Colleen is definitely a professional and knowledgeable tour guide. I would recommend VIATOR with her as the guide. She's very patient and It helped because my husband and I asked too many questions. It didn't bother her, instead, she just answered it diligently and professionally.
The museums were fascinating, but what really made the trip special was our tour guide, Paul. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely a great person. He went far above and beyond what was expected in so many ways including: finding ways to make our kids feel special, extending or making bonus stops based on our preferences, and not rushing us through the tour. We made unforgettable memories alongside our new friend, Paul, in Alaska.
