    Seeing three kinds of whales in Seward was really lovely. Walking on the glacier at McCarthy was very special.

    It was pretty close to the description given. But I could have done with longer times for outdoors activities. Like the Thursday when we did thatcher pass could at least have gone back n a two mile walk or a guided tour of the mine. Did not know why we had to hurry on to anchorage when no activity was booked there

    Good but not for the faint-hearted. Long drives & early starts. As much action as you want in your free time. Variety of accommodation, some rather basic. Circuit gives good snapshot of Alaska in a short time & packs in a lot.

    Many thanks for your review, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip. There are some long drives to be able to cover so much ground, but we hope that the spectacular scenery en route made these worth it.

    There was much too much time on the road. Much of it over dirt roads. The accommodations were poor to average. Dali was great. The other locations were average & not worth the travel time or the low quality of the accommodations. The Guide Batina was great, but the plan of the trip could be improved.

    I would have liked Homer to be included in the holiday. Also I think the tour of the Kennecott Mine should have been included in the holiday
