Five Star Experience

Rebecca_B, Apr 2026
We had an amazing experience on this tour, and Sultan made it truly unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and went above and beyond throughout the entire 12-hour day to make sure we had the best experience possible. What really set him apart was offering to pick us up again later that evening so we could try to see the Northern Lights—after already completing a full day tour. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible Northern Lights show that was one of the highlights of our trip. Sultan didn’t just guide a tour, he created a memorable experience we’ll never forget. His generosity, dedication, and passion for what he does really stood out. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you can go with Sultan.

Tomas was very friendly,...

Tomas was very friendly, efficient, and understood his audience very well. I would definitely recommend. He was committed to showing us everything we wanted, and went above and beyond! The drive was long—so be prepared for that—but the sights at the glacier bay and diamond beach were incredible!

Best day ever!

This was the highlight of our trip! Sultan was a knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to make sure we got in everything we wanted to see. This country is just beautiful and it was so nice to learn so much while experiencing it. If you can fit it in I definitely recommend this tour!
