Overall, this was a truly eye-opening experience. Getting the chance to meet indigenous communities and see local projects up close gave us a much deeper understanding of Mexico than we could have had as travellers. It felt genuine and meaningful, and it’s something I’ll carry with me long after the trip.

In this itinerary, there was an item on Agual Azul Waterfalls which has been missed by some local road blocks. But the alternative option is not that interesting. Also I have checked, we could visit Agua Azul from Palenque. So I think there is a scope of improvement on this.

I felt it was a good price for everything that was included on the trip. Mike the tour guide was awesome as well as Brandy. This was my first trip with Collette but it won't be my last. It was very well put together I loved all of the places we toured but my favorite stop was the tomb of the unknown soldier. So moving.

The tour was wonderful, so many great things were included. Not only did we see Mt McKinley in its entirety, but we saw the Northern Lights on multiple nights. The dog sled run was amazing, as was the tram ride up to Mt Alyeska, seeing the International Ice Carving Championship, Alaska Conservation Center, the Musk Ox Farm and riding the Alaska train.
Our tour director, Kathy Fil, was phenomenal! She really made the trip. She was so knowledgeable and shared her love of Alaska with all of us.
I'm home several weeks now but still raving about the fantastic trip I had to Alaska!
