June 2018 was our third trip to Alaska… June 2018 was our third trip to Alaska planned with Explore Tours. Each time we found the staff to be knowledgeable, professional, flexible, and timely. Our first two trips were exactly what we wanted and went without a hitch. Our third trip was also exactly what we wanted however we had a hitch on the first leg of our adventure, a hitch which was promptly solved by the Explore Tour staff. Specifically, when we arrive in Anchorage, we discovered our flight to Valdez was cancelled due to weather. We called Explore Tours and told them the situation. They told us they would call back within 15 minutes. They did call back within 15 minutes after they had made an Anchorage hotel reservation for us for the night, canceled our first night's hotel reservation in Valdez and confirmed the 2nd and 3rd nights' stay, and changed our glacier cruise reservation to a day later. They gave us all of this information via telephone and followed up with an email. We were impressed with their prompt, thorough, friendly and professional response. We will return to Alaska again and when we decide to do so, we will use Explore Tours. We recommend them highly.

Planning was excellent Planning was excellent. Very responsive to issues that arose with a couple of the activities. You can trust them to do a great job

Outstanding Experience We had an outstanding experience with our reservations made by Explore Tours. Everything went smoothly, and it was nice to have hotels and transportation already paid for.

Alaska Freewheel Initial liaison with Explore Tours was perfect. The girls understood our needs & took our ideas into consideration AND planned a wonderful tour for us. Basically we wanted accommodation & car rental; we would plan our own excursions. Doing the self-drive though the tour agency presented more leverage with both aspects & we paced ourselves on well-researched excursions. Communication detail was brilliant. Our accommodation was exceptional & car hire went without a hitch. We were particularly enamoured with Denali Grizzly Bear Resort & the Knik River Lodge. Knik River is a delightful, out-of-way area. Alaska is a picture-perfect place & our trip will remain etched in our memories forever. I have already espoused the virtues of Explore Tours to friends & family here in Australia.

We just spent two weeks in Alaska last… We just spent two weeks in Alaska last month. Heidi did an excellent job planning the activities for our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!
