Our guide Tony was so incredible. Easy to talk to, knowledgeable and very informative. He took the time to show us things on our route we would have never known about. Great personality. Would recommend you request him directly if possible. Will definitely use him as our guide in the future. Will request only Tony. Good job Tony. You are amazing. Be safe this year and I will see you in the summer.

Kevin was a very good guide (his daughter tagged along too and she is very cute). He took pictures of us in the hot springs which was a great touch given we left our phones in the lockers. Wasn't the best night for seeing the aurora but did catch a glimpse. Ice museum is underwhelming but the apple martinis are really good. An experience that can't be missed!

Didn’t plan much for our Alaska trip but found this tour last minute and it was awesome! Tony our tour guide had a lot of information about the area and shared it with us on our drive over to Chena hot springs. It was cloudy and we couldn’t see the northern lights but Tony kept us entertained while we waited and the Chena hot springs were amazing! We went in twice while we were there. Definitely would book this tour again, thanks Tony!

Some Northern Lights would've been great, but I had a wonderful night hanging out with you guys even without them! Thanks for your kind review. I'll be sure to do the same when I make a spontaneous trip to Cali for some Japanese Fried Chicken!
