The trip was excellent. I was picked up at my hotel on time, greeted with a friendly smile and my excitement for the trip was fulfilled. Jessica, our tour guide was TOPS!!! She was so friendly, jovial, excited and just so knowledgeable about Alaska, The Arctic Circle, The Pipeline and anything else she had to offer. No matter what questions were asked Jessica provided such interesting answers. I learned so much from her. Her driving skills on the Dalton Highway were phenomenal. Myself, I would have been terrified driving. I felt safe and comfortable with Jessica as our tour guide. Jessica, would even pull over to look at the sky with the hope we would be able to see the Aurora. It didn’t happen but she tried her best. Thank you Jessica for such a great time.
