Had a good fairbanks visit!
We did this tour with Gina, and it was really fun and informative!✨ She was a very sweet host. She not only covered the itinerary spots, but also took us to see muscox and bisons on the way, which was very nice. 😍 Since we were the only ones touring with her that day, she let us spend as much time as we wanted at places, with no rush as well as she shadowed us with helpful information throughout. She also made a quick stop for us which was not in the itinerary. Really good, flexible and fun experience overall!💯

Very Pleased
We went on the Fire and Ice tour to the Chena Hot Springs Resort with Gina. We enjoyed hercso much, we booked her Heart of Fairbanks tour fir the next day! It was a pleasure to spend our time with her. Gina was very quick to respond to our questions pre-tour. During she was pleasant, prompt, and attended to all details so we didn't have to. She even told our dinner restaurant it was my birthday. Her knowledge was amazing and on the rare questions she didn't know the answer, she said she didn't know but found the answers. She went above and beyond trying to show us a glimpse of the Northern Lights. She asked us a number of times to see if we wanted to see anything in particular, or if we'd like her to stop anywhere before being dropped off, etc. We saw and learned so much during our time with her. It us with high confidence we can absolutely recommend AK Bucket List Tours with Gina.
