Wonderful Alaska Trip June 2024. The trip was very well planned out. We did a lot and saw a lot of different places, but didn't feel rushed or get too tired. Our guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* was excellent, as was the bus driver *Personal information removed by Feefo*. All of the hotels we stayed at were very nice, even the ones away from the cities. My mother and I had a wonderful time on our Alaska trip! We saw a lot of beautiful landscape and all kinds of cool animals. It was definitely a once in a lifetime trip for us. The guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* was particularly nice and knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend the ten day land trip we took to people over doing a cruise.

Majestic Alaska, spectacular Trafalgar. Expensive in July, but worth every. Every T crossed, every I dotted. Majestic Alaska via Trafalgar was the trip of a lifetime. Have traveled many wonderful places, continents, but this trip was extraordinary. Itinerary was spectacular. Tour guide Scott Ellmore was extremely knowledgeable and funny. (He needs a raise)! My favorites were the 7-seater flight to Denali with breathtaking views. And the helicopter flight that landed us on a glacier was incredible. I made a snow angel. Also the boat trip to the Kenai Fjords - stunning views or glaciers, whales, sea life. The sound of glaciers calving is otherworldly. We learned so much and want to return but at 74 still have much in my bucket. Thank you again for an amazing itinerary.

Great wonderful trip. Great we didn’t have to lug our luggage around. Everything was scheduled from hotels to scheduled meals. Tour director was great. The tour was “majestic”. Loved every minute. If you’re looking for a tour on Alaska you couldn’t do better. Would do again I enjoyed it that much. Every where you look ?? it’s a picture. Took a helicopter ride to Valdez glacier. Pilot was great. Loved getting out and walking on a glacier. There is so much to see and do.

Too much time on the bus. Late evening followed by early mornings, Meals were not planned in a timely matter. One day it was lunch at a grocery store or subway, I understand that there are few places to eat on the road, but a box lunch would be better then the choices we had.
