Kevin was incredibly friendly and well-informed, providing an excellent overview of Fairbanks and its history. We visited all the major attractions, including the Thompson Cultural Visitors Center, Museum of the North, North Pole reindeer and Santa House, and Pioneer Park. Since our group was small and we had extra time, Kevin even took us to see the Alaskan Pipeline, which wasn't on our original schedule. He went above and beyond to tailor the tour to our interests, making additional stops along the way. I would highly recommend this experience.”— stronchnw
