Alaska caravan

[austondog]

Just booked a Canada Alaska 60 day tour with fantasy tours. First time to Alaska so decided to go with group. Does anyone have experience with this company

have a great time and ignore those who say you must 'eat where they tell you',
'you must travel where they tell you to', ignore those who say 'you are led around'. you are spending a lot of money, enjoy it. on our 2004 trip caravan with Creative World was GREAT. they tell you where you will spend the nite, how, when you got there was up to you. the events and meals were also great.

this was the best vacation we ever had, and the most expensive.
3 times we left the group and rejoined later.

A 60-day trip to Alaska for $10,500 isn't too bad, and the itinerary certainly covers a lot.

I figure the cost to you will be more than double that after fuel is paid for.

For some folks, caravans are a good thing. I would be annoyed by not being able to adapt the schedule to accommodate a temperamental Mother Nature. And sometimes we just want to stay in a spot longer to enjoy the recreational opportunities, or to just sit and time-out alone in the bush for some fishing or 4-wheel exploring. This is when you get to feel the real Yukon and Alaska, rather than the tourist-front.

Of course, the bigger issue is I'm a planner and would have a hard time letting go and letting someone else do that for me :B

DW and I had lot of discussion on tour and going alone decided on tour for first trip also this includes stampede next year we will go alone and explore and use tour money for fuel thanks for input everyone

I have never been but a couple of days ago I was talking to a guy who had been on one through Fantasy and he couldn't say enough good things about the tour to Alaska. Another pea for the pot.

Some like it.....some don't. I felt ripped off. If you like someone else to plan your vacation (where to stay, what to see and do, when to go, what time to go, where and when to eat) you'll enjoy it. If you like to venture off on your own and explore you don't get a lot of opportunity to do that. Either way you won't forget the trip.

You want to go to the Stampede? Adventure's trip, for $1300 less, is full. Their other Alaska trip, for $1700 less, has availability.

I have been on trips with both Adventure and Fantasy. Both were good trips. Adventure trips are usually less than Fantasy and Adventure is a little easier to deal with. Nothing wrong with Fantasy.

Actually did some research but it was late in year before this became possible and everything booked spot came open due to cancelation thank u

Did a Rose Parade Tour with Fantasy.
We were parked the whole time and they bused us around to lots of activities.
Had a great time! No complaints!

Yeah--I would have recommended Adventure over Fantasy.
