Alaska Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Jewels of Alaska (Classic)
For only having 8 days to try to highlight such a massive, incredible state this tour was amazing! It really gives a great glimpse into the majesty of Alaska and the awesome local people who live here. There were a couple of bumps as the state is trying to recover from covid but all the workers did an awesome job trying to give us the best experience possible. Everyone was incredibly friendly, from the managers to the servers to the housekeepers. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time visiting Alaska!
- Majestic Alaska
Super guide and driver Led from the front.... in all regards Tour would have been nowhere near as successful without them
- Spectacular Alaska!
Enjoyed the tour but was very disappointed at the lack of excursions offer during our free time. Globus prides itself on a variety of excursions so there are many choices for all types of personalities. This is my first tour ever that the excursions were so limited! I had to go online to book my on excursions during my free time. I booked a Northern lights tour and a trolley tour which I do not understand why Globus could not offer them and more, if so, I would not have had to spend my free time online searching for things to do. Brady was an excellent tour director always insuring we were taken care of and there to assist with any issues or concerns we may have had. Our bus driver Rose was a breath of fresh air! I have never had a tour bus driver who was that personal, knowledgeable, involved, and as full of life as Rose! She truly needs to become a tour director! Overall, the only reason I give the tour an 9 over a 10 scale is due to the lack of free time excursions. Thank you Brady and Rose for a great Alaskan experience! Respectfully and sincerely, Rhonda and Robin “Elton” Parker
