Paul was awesome. Very knowledgeable about everything Alaska. Wasn’t planning on coming back. This was a one and done trip until we talked to him when we come back we will definitely call him for an itinerary.

Punctual, professional. Got us from our start point to the destination efficiently. Vehicle did not seem to be in the best of shape. There was not much clean space for the luggage.
We had several excursions booked with 1st Alaska Tours and all were excellent! The staff coordinated everything, followed up to re-confirm, and were flexible and great to work with! The shuttle to Fairbanks had both hotel pick-up and drop-off in a very nice 9 passenger van. Highly recommend any of their tours!
Brittney was FANTASTIC! She was very friendly & informative along the route. She stopped along the way & offered to stop anywhere else we needed. Great service. Highly recommend.
Easy pickup and drop off by the driver - just what you’d expect from the shuttle between Denali and Fairbanks.
Safe driving by Jake much appreciated. Plus, he was quite informative, able to answer all our questions about wildlife, to trees to towns along the way.
We really enjoyed the trip and Joseph was an awesome tour guide! Super knowledgeable about the area and wildlife.
