Great 1st day in Fairbanks

Ripley was a great guide! He made sure to give us plenty of information about each stop and was great at answering all of our questions. We never felt hurried and I especially enjoyed the Museum of the Nirth.

Educational yet fun and interesting. Right amount of walking and riding

3 senior ladies never had a better time on a tour. Ripley picked us up right on time and gave us a day to remember. He was flexible, knowledgeable, personable and very patient - answering all our questions and making recommendations. 5 stars!

Fairbanks- A tour of the past and present

Excellent experience! Fantastic employees. Craig (?) who called to arrange my pickup was very professional. Ripley my guide was the best! She guided my tour with professional decorum yet was able to make it feel fresh and personal at the same time. 10/10. Would definitely book this tour again.
