    Claudia was great. Only thought would like to have connected with other passengers earlier. Go through and have passenger give name and where they are from. If a passenger does not want to say so that is ok also. Quicker connections that way. Also as a single I would have enjoyed a single seat at least one segment of the trip since she changed locations of where we were seating anyway.

    Madonna and Matt were great as the tour director and the bus driver. The organization of the trip was wonderful. Madonna provided us with commentary and information on our route. I would have loved one additional day in Denali and more communication regarding when the tour officially ended. Great way to see Alaska without having to drive.

    Well thought-out tour package design. It was perfect for our first visit to Alaska. The tour director Madona and driver Phill were terrific in guiding the visitors and in helping them with everything. The tour covers the most important sites including Denali, Prince William Sound, Glaciers. The optional excursions add high-lighted experience. We get to experience the beauty of the vast land and sea that only Alaska has. We get to see the land and marine wildlife. Before we even left, we want to come back to Alaska already. Perhaps another Cosmos/Globus tour. Thank you everyone.

    Hotel accommodations could've been better. When doing price comparisons there were better more comfortable options at comparable pricing. Especially in Valdez. Also, food recommendations could've have been better. On the plus side the experiences were amazing all the guides, especially Claudia, and our bus driver Cheryl were outstanding. We had an incredible time!
