Regular vs Deluxe

We took the “basic” tour which is not the deluxe tour. The difference is that you do not stop and get off and walk around for ?? minutes on the basic tour and therefore is shorter. The guide, Ian, was entertaining. He was more about engaging with the folks on the trolley and meshing Anchorage and Alaska information into the conversation with them, which was okay and entertaining, but some of riders may not have gotten the satire.
