This “tour guide” service was used for this specific tour, as it included many items of interest to our group. For this tour, it was our group (4 adults) only with the driver in a van. We met him at a convenient area in North Pole, which was close to the cabin we were then staying at. This tour was a driving tour starting in Fairbanks and continuing to the Arctic Circle. Our guide was “Frank”. He drove our party (4 total). The guide was very knowledgeable of the entire area, and provided a lot of information. Part of this tour was seeing the Alaska Pipeline. The road we took (eventually turned into the Dalton Highway) essentially followed the pipeline. At the start of the Dalton Highway, there is a pull-off with signs providing details of the man named “Dalton” and the work he did in Alaska. There were additional pull-off spots so you could actually walk up to the pipeline, and there were markers giving you information about the pipeline. We made stops as needed for breaks and for taking photos. The “Hilltop Store” was a good break and was one of the last stops with running water bathrooms. Unfortunately, the Wildwood Mercantile store was closed when we got there – it would have been nice to see what that like inside. We saw wildlife along the way, and along one mountain pass, the snow had coated all the trees and it was magical. The Dalton highway is the roadway from just north of Fairbanks all the way to the “North Slope” or Prudhoe Bay. It is paved in some sections and gravel in others. We were very glad to have a guide like Frank, because he knew the road and the conditions, and was prepared should something unusual happen. There were times when you could barely see the sides of the roadway, as snowfall covered the sides and the road. This is definitely a place where you need a very skilled and knowledgeable person driving. We made stops as needed, including one at the Yukon River. There is a small store next to the river. We walked down to and then onto the Yukon River, close the bridge that carries the pipeline across. We continued on past the Arctic Circle and then stopped at the sign designating the Arctic Circle for photos. Following that, the weather cleared and Frank pulled off the roadway on a large siding area. The northern lights started and were just spectacular for quite a while. Following this, we continued on back to North Pole. I would highly recommend this tour and provider.
