We appreciated the thoughtful touches- toilet paper and hand sanitizer for the the rest stops, Bear spray for the hike (saw a bear!) and good communication to arrange pickup. We will use him again!

James was 5 star and beyond! He provided a transfer from Seward to Anchorage after our cruise. James loves Alaska and it shows in every story, every nugget of information. We peppered him with questions and he never seemed to tire of answering them. It was an unexpected gift to have him at the end of our cruise. We stopped at numerous spots along the way, got out for pictures, stopped at a perfect spot for lunch. The weather was cold and wet and it didn’t matter…James made the best of everything! I hated to see our day come to an end. It was perfect. Thank you James!James was a very calm driver and guide.
