Jessica was an incredible guide and gave us so much information about Alaska. Our day was very long but so worth seeing the Arctic Circle and all surrounding scenery.

It was a wonderful day trip. All the people in our group were wonderful... Pete was amazing guide. The stories Pete shared really made the experience more personal .

Very bumpy, few restrooms (had to pee in the bushes!) Saw one juvenile black bear. Guide was fairly new and couldn't answer many questions

The trip and driver were fine, but the weather didn’t cooperate to make it the most enjoyable. Cloudy, rainy, and almost “pea soup” condition some mountain passes reduced the ability to enjoy the scenery as much as possible due to low visibility.

This was so much fun. Definitely a bucket list item. Our driver was awesome! Super knowledgeable and friendly. It’s a long trip, but fun as heck! Be sure to bring snacks to feed the tame birds at the arctic circle sign. That was so cool! Despite the high price, it’s totally worth it.

I had an amazing time. Kendall was a great guide. He was super knowledgeable and I learned a lot. Plus, the views were breathtaking.

Roger was an awesome guide. Great driving. Efficient tour with mostly driving and seeing the signs. It’s a lot of sitting, but worth the bragging rights

My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Kendall, our guide, was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We had several stops along the way including the Pipeline Viewing site and Yukon River Camp. The scenery is breathtaking.
