Ended up being better than expected although was a bit more expensive. Tour guide was very good. Many interesting things to do. While a few of the accommodations were good - a couple were not the best. Fall time was beautiful time of the year to go with changing colors. Was good that we were in the 10% of visitors to get to actually see Mt Denali on our bus tour into the National Park - Wow !!JTZ

Excellent: Gold panning and Boneyard, Trail Breaker Kennel including dinner, Train journey to Denali, Denali National Park, Local discussion at Talkeetna, and Glacier cruise. Good: Museums, Riverboat Discovery, and Musk Ox farm. Bad: Meal before Riverboat Cruise and going away meal at steakhouse - YUCK! Overall, highly recommend to friends!

I enjoyed the visit to the Trail Breaker Kennel. The domed rail trip to Denali National Park was a wonderful experience. And of course, the glacier cruise through Prince William Sound was a highlight, especially when whales and otters were spotted. Lastly, the optional opportunity to walk on a glacier is a chance of a lifetime.Karen Woodard

Our tour manager and bus driver were excellent. Alaska was not what i envisioned so perhaps i should have done more research. The covered wagon , which was a substitute due to a fire, was the most fun. I also liked the Denali train ride. I believe the tour is more geared to “outdoor” people which I am not.

I have two great memories for this trip. The first is being able to see Mount Denali for three straight days and taking awesome pictures of it at different angles. Also I really enjoyed my flight to Pikes Glacier, where the views were amazing and the mountains and the many glaciers go on and on and on. All the places that I went and all the people that I met we're so inspiring and friendly that I definitely would recommend this trip.Debi Ryan

Tour was good. Lodging in Denali was not the best. At times the tour guide over talked when quiet time would have been good.

There were several things with this trip that i didnt enjoy anf i have thoroughly enjoyed Collette trips before. The musk ox farm was boring. It seemed as if they needed a filler. The hotel The Bluffs was not good. I felt like i had paid a lot of money to go to a summer camp. No air conditioning, which would have been fine if we had had windows to open, the tv didnt work, and we had no internet. I would not suggest this place. When i said something to our tour guide she acted like i was being childish. She made me feel bad for talking to her about it. I did enjoy the train with breakfast. It was very enjoyable and the glacier boat trip. Our bus driver, Levi, was excellent. He should be the tour director. Very personable and talkative. This is not a trip i would recommend.

We were totally on our own in Fairbanks. Luckily, we were able to rent a car and see all the significant places that our tour guide did not do, even though she said she would do one of them, the Visitor Center, but did not do that anyway. She seemed to do the minimum, unlike previous leaders on Collette. For example, she was not around on our various stops to take pictures.Fern Stoffer
