He was amazing was in Alaska for 2 weeks took at least one tour a day. Best tour by far He was very knowledgable and was so helpful and polite. It was so much more organized than other tours. Don’t miss his tours
We stayed at the Aleyeska Resort so the tram was right there on property. Such beautiful views!
David was phenomenal. He was super detailed on the guide and very nice. His top priority was making sure we saw great views. Highly recommend on your trip to Alaska.
David was exceptionally knowledgeable. It was a treat to be driven through the Park. The photo stop at Portage Glacier was wonderful.
OMG. This was great! The driver was so awesome She was very knowledgeable. She knew the history of the state and the geology. She knew all about the wildlife refuge, the animals that were there and was able to keep us on schedule while maintaining a flexible feel. The trip was wonderful. Given the limited time, we got to see many beautiful places. Was definitely worth the money.
A fellow traveler recommended Frontier Tours and it was a great way for us to end our Alaska stay but it would also be a great way to start yours. Alex our guide was great.
