Amazing!.

I really enjoyed viewing the animals in their 'home'. The added glacier cruise was eye opening. It makes me sad to see how much of the glaciers have thawed. What I did see was gorgeous and breath taking. I'm going to go back to Alaska to take in more of its beauty

Unforgettable

Jules was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She is so knowledgeable, adventurous and made sure we all stayed safe! I was only in town a very short time work trip so it was just me! This is a great way to capture beautiful Alaska and learn some history in a small amount of time! I never once felt “alone” with Jules and the wonderful families I joined!! And I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel!!! HIGHLY recommend Jules and this tour!! Thank you for making my short time here something I will never forget!!

Once in a life time experience

A beautiful experience. Unfortunately, we didn’t see much of wild animals because it’s hibernating time but Greg was very informative and super nice! He gives a lil quiz for a prize in the end so pay attention to what he’s talking about. Definitely made our experience in Alaska 10x better.

Conservation Center Wasn't the Prominent Part of Tour

We were looking forward to seeing native Alaskan wildlife. However, most of the tour consisted of stopping at scenic places to snap a few photos. We did see two bald eagles at one of the stops, and a wild coyote at another. Juls was nice and knowledgeable, but we only spent roughly 30 minutes at the Wildlife Conservation Center to see the animals and make quick purchase at the gift shop. Not the wildlife experience we were hoping for but informative about Alaska.
