My wife and I both loved this tour. Our guide, Matt, is extremely knowledgeable not only on this tours highlights but has also lived in Alaska for over 30 yrs. Matt uses a variety media, stories and hands on activities to help us understand Alaska, Dalton Highway, people, culture, pipeline construction and challenges. It’s a wonderful tour to take part in if you ever are in the area. It’s soo much safer to travel with them than attempting to travel the Dalton in your own vehicle.

Thank you Bill B for joining Matt on your Arctic Circle Drive Adventure. So glad you enjoyed your time with him...he is getting ready to head out now to share Alaska's Arctic again! These guides seem to never tire of doing this "job". Thank you again for joining us and sharing your experience. Kathy

I took this tour on 28th May with Ryan as our guide. He was very thoughtful, knowledgeable and adventurous in his spirit though extremely careful about the safety aspects of driving on the Dalton Highway. The terrain was beautiful and Ryan knew some terrific spots from where we could get a 360 degrees panoramic views of the Alaskan landscapes. Really enjoyed the tour and will highly recommend the tour company and Ryan for this tour!!

Had a great time on the bus tour to the Arctic Circle. Our guide Tony did a great job driving and telling the history of the area. We saw some of the most beautiful scenery along the way and got the experience the Dalton Highway, which was an adventure itself. It was a long day, but worth the experience.
