Overall, the tour experience was great and was very informative. Only thing that soured our visit was the rain, I'm sorry, but it is impossible to completely enjoy yourself when you're soaking wet. We made our reservations several months in advance and they call your name by order of reservation, so they called our name first for the sled ride and we were able to sit in front and have a great view. We were also fortunate that our dog team was led by the record setting lead dog, Rudder, so that was an extra treat. The ride was most enjoyable although a bit short. They said the conditions, low 50's, were actually TOO hot for the dogs as they are used to running in -20 below. Following the ride they showed us the actual sleds used in the race and how they outfitted the dogs. We were also able to see all the trophies they had won. Then, we got to pet and hold puppies that will one day be in the race.
Overall, a great tour, guides answered all questions and gave an informative narration. Just would have been perfect if it hadn't been raining.
