Unsafe Driving, I’d Pass on this Tour

While the scenery is beautiful, our PicTours Alaska guide was tailgating other drivers, and took out his phone while driving, although he mentioned to us there’d been a number of terrible accidents on the highway we were on. We had several other tours during the week with other companies and guides that were different. I would not recommend this tour to others.

Aaron is an excellent...

Aaron is an excellent tour guide. He is courteous, professional and quite entertaining. He is knowledgeable about the local geography, culture, language, traditions and history. It is obvious that he cares deeply about giving his guests the best experience possible. Highly recommend!

Out in Alaska nature

Anna was our tour guide and did a terrific job on our six-hour tour going down south. We were lucky and had nice weather so got bonus view of Denali at the end. We were a small group of 5 and that made for plenty of room in the van and we were able to see many scenic spots and many animals so lots of photos. My sister and I did not take the cruise in Portage so Anna took us to a place where salmon were spawning. Overall, a very enjoyable tour with knowledgeable guide. Only suggestion would be to talk a little more about the history of the conservation location. We should of asked after walking, but we forgot.
