Scenic and Peaceful
I cannot recommend this tour enough. The planning was meticulous, from transportation to accommodations. Every guide we met was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, making the trip both fun and educational. The aurora sightings were out of this world—we were lucky to see them several times, and each show was different. The cold was intense, but the tour company provided good advice on how to dress, so I never felt unprepared. What stood out to me was how inclusive the experience was; the group bonded quickly, and we shared laughter and awe together. Anchorage added another layer with its culture and food. This seven-day journey felt like living in a dream.
