Totally awesome! - Very thorough explanation of everything we saw and did. Tim was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. It was obvious he enjoys what he does. This gave us a very good taste of the Alaskan countryside.

Beautiful experience in Turnagain. - We had this tour on a beautiful sunny day, and everything we did with our engaging and knowledgeable guide was great! Besides the beautiful drive, we pulled off the highway to view lakes and mountains and glaciers! Also visited the Alaskan Wildlife Conservation Center which was so interesting. We can’t say enough about this excursion …what a great value! And lunch at the Girdwood Brewery was delicious !
