This was a great tour. Our guide, Terry, was wonderful, showing us some stunning sights and helping us all to improve our photography skills in the process. It was a very fun, beautiful, easy-going and informative tour and I highly recommend it. And you will be very lucky if you get Terry as your guide!

We think Terry is a great asset and I'm happy to hear you do, too! Her passion and knowledge for photography is really contagious, and we want our guests to be as excited about photography as our guides. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour so much!

Terry was lovely, she took us looking for moose but was more than happy to stop when I wanted to film a plane taking off. We visited several different sites to take landscape and nature photos, saw moose and beluga whales and watched the sunset from the mountains. Terry was also caring about our slight mobility issues, very much appreciated.

Our guide, Ben is not only a professional, he’s a fabulous person which meant we spent as much time taking exceptional photos as we did talking, learning and enjoying this spectacular part of the country. There were some last minute changes that meant we didn’t get as much drone instruction as we might have hoped for, but Ben got us to a variety of locations outside of parks where we could fly and get great footage. Knowing where to go that is both legal, flyable, and has views requires a guide if you aren’t familiar with the area. We went to a variety of locations for different scenery. We got rivers, glaciers, meadows, bridges, beaches and a moose! We can’t wait to show off our video from Anchorage on our YouTube channel - Well Travelled Life.

I am so glad that your Drone Dreamscapes tour worked out well, and that you were able to get what you wanted from the tour despite the changes you referenced. Ben is a great guide and we are very happy to have him on our team. We look forward to seeing your video!
