This tour was AMAZING!! Our tour guide was absolutely the BEST!!! We were with a group of 16 so we were in 2 different cars. Both tour guides were so knowledgeable, friendly and extremely informative. They went out of their way to make sure we saw all of Juneau and explained everything to us along the way. All 16 of us had a blast! Can’t say enough good things about this tour.
Pedz took us everywhere and was above and beyond! He knew where the best photo spots were and would even offer to take them for us. He even stopped at a grocery store so we could buy some cold medicine for our daughter then dropped us at a restaurant instead of back at the dock. A great tour guide and a great value.
We were dropped at the glacier and hiked for an hour. Charlene was entertaining and full of local facts. Just what we signed up for.
Pedz was amazing from the picture of the tour van and supplying drinks and snacks to a informative day of all the Juneau sights and the Mendenhall Glacier well worth the 5 stars
If you want a very detailed explanation of everything you see on this excursion, then Pedz is the guide for you! There were many stops along the way and our favorite was the Saint Theresa shrine. Pedz also took many pictures of us at each stop to make sure we accumulated many memories. Great job Pedz!
Fantastic tour. Got to see all the sights we wanted and our guide took great pictures for us! Very friendly.
Easy pick up. Lots of time to see the glacier. Friendly driver! We enjoyed the commentary during the drive.
Our tour guide was excellent. He was very informative and ensured our entire trip was enjoyable. He made sure our first time in Juneau was memorable!
So peaceful and beautiful, our pilot was knowledgeable and so sweet. The beauty was worth every penny.
Great communication prior to tour. Our guide took a pic of his van and told us exactly where he would pick us up. Great time at the Glaciers, Shrine and whale exhibit. Our guide was very knowledgeable of Juneau and the surrounding area. Offered us soft drinks and water throughout the tour. Great day!
