This was an awesome tour of Fairbanks and the North Pole. Cedar was an excellent guide with lots of local knowledge and she was great fun! She guided us through the city museum and then let us explore the University museum on our own. We had lovely stops for photos all along the way. She included the Alaska Pipeline, which I had studied in school! Then off the the North Pole to see Santa's reindeer and his home! He was still on holiday so we did not get to see him. This was definitely a tour worth taking!

Very enjoyable tour with home-grown guide, featuring lingering visits to Fairbanks Cultural center, Alaska Pipeline, University of Alaska Fairbanks Museum, and North Pole. We were the only guests on the tour, so we received special attention from from our tour guide Coleen.
