Tour exceeded my expectations! Long day but we’ll worth it. Steve Z was a fabulous tour guide. He highlighted sites, answered questions, stopped at various sites. I learned a lot about terrain, history. Will definitely do other tours on next trip!!

Unfortunately the smoke blocked much of the view, but the scenery was great. The last video was definitely worth while and the stories about building the pipeline brought memories of the 70’s.

Aaron was a great tour guide. I loved the information he shared and he willing answered all of our questions. The salmon burgers at the Yukon River Camp were amazing. Loved the snacks on the bus too. We were well taken care of. I never lost interest given it was such a long day.
