Great question. The choice is entirely up to you. We assist guests from around the world with their vacations to Alaska. Each with unique traveling styles and preferences.
So whether you have your trip specifics already mapped out or just a general idea of the highlights you'd like to hit, we go to work for you to ensure a memorable experience!
Here's quick overview of the process from start to finish:
Step 1: Consultation
First, we'll ask you qualifying questions along with adding our local tips on how you can maximize your time and budget. Options for itineraries are seemingly endless and we'll help to narrow down choices based on your interests.
Explore's team of experts also know the roads, schedules, accessibility, and visitor traffic patterns, eliminating the guesswork for you. So ask away! That's what we're here for.
Step 2: Itinerary Suggestion & Price Quote
Once we've compiled your budget, level of accommodation, planned length of trip, we'll hand select and customize an itinerary that factors in all of your needs and fine tune with you until perfect!
Step 3: Reservations
Explore secures a hefty inventory of hotel blocks, activity seats and transportation components to allow for instant confirmations for many Alaska products. This may allow us to book you on a trip that might otherwise be sold out.
And once your entire tour is confirmed, we'll put together a detailed day-by-day, instructional program to follow during travel. This includes advice on what to bring, what to expect, driving directions, when to check in and more! You can simply be on vacation and leave all the details to us!
For sure! We're having a lot of fun connecting with our fans and encourage you to join us on both.
Follow us on Twitter for regular "tweets" from our team of local Alaska experts. We'll share tips, advice, news, events and exclusive offers!
And you can find us on Facebook to learn about what's happening in AK along with viewing some of our most amazing photos captured by ET staff on our very own Extraordinary Alaska Adventures! Become a fan and you will become eligible for extra special deals!
Like many other travel companies, Explore Tours receives commissions from the tour suppliers we work with. As the commissions are off of the published brochure rates, this ensures that you are typically not paying more than you would buy purchasing the components on your own.
You receive the convenience of having knowledgeable reservation specialists assemble your itinerary with one phone call!
