Customer Reviews
The Alaskan train tour/ride was amazing. All of our tour guides were helpful and patient and knowledgeable. Some of the areas were a little more congested than I would have imagined, but I learned more about Alaska than expected, which is great! Our manager, Katie, is a lovely person, and I was grateful to have her.
Hotel in Fairbanks was not up to Collette or HAL standards. Too crowded for early morning departure and buffet. Food was not refilled and mostly empty. Not enough seating. Room was clean - but sad and tired. Enjoyed the riverboat ride more than I had anticipated. That was great. Our bus driver Peter was amazing on our Denali tour! Cannot remember his name, but from Fairbanks to Denali bus driver was lovely! Really enjoyed the domed train ride!! Loved HAL very much. This trip was magical. Kind of fell in love with Alaska. Katie Johns was an amazing tour guide. Thank you, Collette!
Wonderful experience. Our tour manager, Lee, was terrific. The bus trip through Denali National Park and the Discovery boat trip were my favorites. Alaska is beautiful!
