We were not able to see the Aurora Borealis due to snowy & cloudy nights, but in spite of that, it was still a great experience. We met some really nice & friendly people, went to some great restaurants, bars & museums; had a fun time on a dog sled ride, a snowcat ride, slid sdown some ice slides in an outdoor ice scuplture park, had a martini in an all ice martini glass in an ice museum and heard some interesting facts and nuances about the Northern Lights from Bob Berman.breakfast at the The only less than great experiences were waiting 30 minutes for our luggage to be unloaded from the Alaska Railroad train we took from Anchorage to Fairbanks as well as the buffet breakfast we had at the Fairbanks Westmark Hotel...worst buffet breakfast that we have ever experienced...cold and poor quality food with almost no variety.

Beyond expectations! Drawn there by the stars, but also fascinated and impressed with the people, history, geology, and excursions. Top notch gourmet food in addition. And thanks to Anjali and Sam for a super job!!

Everything about this trip was fantastic. Everything went very smoothly. The train and trolley rides were great fun. The ladies running the tour were very competent and fun to be around. The bus driver was the best I have ever known. I have worked with quite a few and this gentleman was by far the best. The ladies were really helpful with restaurant reservations and any other problems that arose. The restaurants and other meals included with the tour were great. I cannot begin to say just how much I enjoyed the tour and all the people involved. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves trains as much as I do.
