I had this activity today, November 26, 2025, and I can tell you that it’s worth the time spent on learning about Alaska history and the events that have shaped such a great state. Kathy, our tour guide went above and beyond explaining the Museum of the North exhibits and artifacts. In addition, she answered all my inquiries about the Alyeska Pipeline and then some. The only thing of the tour that I found not that interesting was the Santa Claus House. It was just a commercial place, and the time spent there could have been used for another attraction.

Was a great time. Definitely go if you're a big museum enthusiast. Saw the Pipeline and made a special trip to see the Muskox. Savvy is great

Excellent tour! Our guide Savvy was delightful: punctual, friendly, and very informative. I learned a lot from the varied itinerary. Definitely worth the price and the investment of an afternoon. I also really appreciated being picked up and dropped off at my duplex. Highly recommend!

This should be everyone's first tout of the city of Fairbanks. Roger crammed so much into our experience with his extensive knowledge of Alaska and the wilderness. We loved this tour and would definitely do again!

I just finished the Alaskan Heritage Tour, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. Rachel, our tour guide, was phenomenal. Her knowledge, passion, and genuine love for Alaska’s culture and history made every moment engaging. She shared fascinating stories, answered every question with patience and insight, and created such a welcoming, fun atmosphere throughout the day.

Wonderful tour guide who went out of the way to make sure we enjoyed the tour. She was very knowledgeable and able to share her knowledge in a way we all understood what she was communicating. Friendly, knowledgeable and understanding. The tour took us to all the places described. We especially enjoyed the visit with Santa and his store.
