Brent was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour gives a great overview of Fairbanks. The museums were well worth the visits.
It was an informative tour. Our guide, Kendall was very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided some interesting stories and also some advice to use on this trip, our first visit to Alaska.
This was an excellent opportunity to learn about Alaska and Fairbanks history. The Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center had well designed displays describing the local and state history. Stops at the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska brings you even closer to the people of Alaska.
Blake was an excellent guide. Very informative! Enjoyed the museums and especially liked seeing the pipeline.
This was a great tour. Learned a ton. Our driver and guide Blake was on time, very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely attentive. He chose the closest drop off spots, accompanied us but not too much, took terrific photos, and didn’t rush us. Loved the Museum of the North and Cultural Center. Fun at the North Pole stop. Applause. 👏🏻
