We had an incredible day on this tour with our guide John. He was very knowledgeable friendly and provided great insight. He also had a lot of good suggestions for additional experiences while we’re in Alaska that we hope to do on a future trip.

Did the Turnagain Arm Tour and had a blast with our guide, John! We was both engaging and informative. Loved the first hand knowledge he shared with us. We lucked out with a GORGEOUS day and got some awesome pictures! Only downside was trying to get lunch at the top of the tram at Alyeska, but that was on us for choosing to go that way. Warning for others... it was over an hour wait for food and seating was a nightmare. John, however, was great and so patient while waiting for us. We ended up just switching the food to go and ate in the bus. Thank you John for our outstanding experience!!!!

We had to change our plans at the last minute. I called GLA at 9am and by 10:30am we were on our tour. John was terrific. The experience was professional and fun!
