A fun and informative trip with a nice group - I chose this tour to get to know Fairbanks a little better. Booking was easy, and I appreciated that I was picked up at my hotel. The group was small- only 7 people, which made it feel like a family trip. I loved that everyone was easy going, open for conversations, and looking out for each other. Santa‘s house at Northpole was fun, and the museums were very interesting and informative. The Park was both, and I wish we would have had a little more time there. Kevin did a great job showing us all these places and explaining even more about the culture here in Alaska. This trip was a great experience- I surely recommend it!

Kevin was a great tour guide - Kevin was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable of the Fairbanks AK experience. The train ride at Pioneer Park and the story of the sourdough starter at the Pizza Shop was also a exciting tidbit.

Great Tour Option for Fairbanks Attractions - Kevin is a great guide for a day tour to local attractions around Fairbanks. He was kind, informative, and helpful. He offered recommendations and did not rush us at the different stops that we made. We would consider another tour with him if we returned to Fairbanks.

Some of the events of the... - Some of the events of the day took longer than others… The north Pole visit could’ve been shorter and the time spent at the Pioneer Park could’ve been longer. My wife and I think that the North Pole visit should be eradicated.
