A super amazing amazing small group experience
zillahruthp, Apr 2025
A most amazing tour experience from start to finish. Our tour guide Brenda was extremely knowlegable and helpful. We were so excited when it started to snow while we stopped to wait for our turn to go through the Homer tunnel. This small group experience was personal and very wonderful. Highly recommended.
