“When I discovered Thomas was recommended on Facebook and later on TripAdvisor, I knew his tour was perfect for my Birthday celebration. I prefer private tours over crowded ones. Communicating via WhatsApp was effortless, and Thomas was very quick to respond. He met us at an easy-to-find spot after we disembarked from the boat, and our adventure began. During our six-hour experience, I enjoyed exploring the Yukon and crossed into Canada for the first time. We saw beautiful lakes, a stunning beach, mountain goats, and plenty of bear poop. Thomas was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, always ready to stop for photos. He had a great sense of humor that made the time fly. I even faced my fear of heights by walking across a suspension bridge, which was amazing. This day was undoubtedly the highlight of my cruise and a Birthday to remember. The scenery was truly magical. If you're looking for stunning landscapes with a professional guide, book Thomas right away. You'll have a much more enjoyable experience than being on a train among other tourists looking at trees. Thank you, Thomas, for being an excellent host and creating unforgettable memories!
