WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY ABOUT FAMILY VACATIONS WITH ALASKA TOURS

  • It was perfect. Great hotel. Absolutely loved the Borealis Basecamp. We didn't have a single issue; it was easy to book and easy to access once there. They took care of the transportation planning and everything. Thank you!

  • Great experience working with Alaska Tours! They made planning so easy. Great suggestions, extremely helpful in arranging all our priority items plus options for our unscheduled time. Clear and timely communication was appreciated. I would definitely contact them again for future trips to Alaska.

  • We visited Alaska in March to see northern lights (aka aurora borealis), ride the Aurora Winter train, and soak in hot springs. This 10-day itinerary was flawless. No problems anywhere along the way. Every day (or night for the aurora viewing) featured a highlight. The trip itself was highly successful and entirely enjoyable.

  • The varied sites in our tour of Fairbanks were all interesting! The pipeline and the Museum of the North were great! North Pole, Santa Claus House and the reindeer were fun! Our guide was informative, and pleasant!

    Chris - Trip Advisor

  • We participated in two separate tours while in Alaska and both were wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The northern lights had been at the top of our bucket list and it was well worth the trip to Alaska to experience this natural wonder!

  • We had vouchers for our hotel stays and daily activities, so all we had to do was show up. We really enjoyed our tour of Turnagain Arm, and from Anchorage to Fairbanks during the winter.
