The tour covered a lot of ground and many hours in the van. If you have visited Alaska on land (as in traveled from Anchorage to Denali or Denali to Fairbanks), this tour maybe a disappointment because it goes through many of the same landscape and scenery. We saw more wildlife in a 4 hour Denali tour than this 10+ hours van ride. The only thing this tour has over others was the arctic circle, which is just a sign. Nothing special but nice bragging rights. Our driver, Cassie, was a first class rated driver, though. She made the ride more interesting and her knowledge of the area was amazing.
