This trip was a truly memorable experience. First, fantastic awe-inspiring scenery that managed to be different every day, but always majestic and unbelievably grand. Second, an excellent guide who not only knew his stuff but managed our group in a very effective, pleasant, but low-profile way in every respect. He was always there for us, and necessary changes were handled seamlessly and pleasantly without fuss. Third, overall organisation, so that things happened when they were supposed to.

Alaska had been on my bucket list for years. This trip was everything I hoped it would be--plenty of varied activities, scenery and opportunities to see wildlife. Alaska is a huge place, and this trip allowed me to see many of the must-see areas with a great group of like-minded participants led by a knowledgeable and helpful guide. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who would like to experience the best Alaska has to offer.

This was a fabulous trip with a great tour leader. The last tour of the season turned out to be a very good option; it was pretty cold at times, but we had lots of sunshine and you don't want it to be too warm when walking!
Those considering doing it should be aware that the "optional"tour to Monument Valley is the only way you're going to see it and if you don't you'll be sitting in the van in a car park for 2 and a half hours waiting for everyone else! I guess it's presented as an option in case the tour is not available.
I'd also say that the guidelines re. meal prices need updating, they're just not realistic.
But overall, I'd highly recommend this trip and you'll be lucky if you have David as your leader.

I enjoyed the trip mainly due to Ruth Hauri. She is par excellence for her caring, knowledgeable, hard working and loving nature. The only complaint is that the tour vehicle is not comfortable. Thank God v r 9 of us plus the driver totalled 10. Cannot imagine the company takes in 11 passengers for this tour. Just too cramped.
