    This was the most amazing tour and one of the biggest highlights of our entire trip! Marissa, our guide, was so engaging, funny, flexible, interesting, and a great storyteller and photographer. You can tell she takes great pride in what she does, and it truly shows. We signed up for this excursion mainly because of the dog camp, but had no idea how gorgeous the entire voyage to and from the camp would be! When we first arrived to her shuttle, she was washing all the windows to ensure we had unobstructed views during our tour. Now THAT is a person who is proud of what she does and cares about giving us a memorable, exceptional experience! Her shuttle was clean, and the size of our group was small, which just makes it all the more enjoyable and intimate. I was a bit worried I might be sad or upset seeing the pups if the conditions of the camp weren’t great, but the animals all seemed happy and well cared for, and everyone there was so nice! It was gorgeous up there at the camp, too. So, we left feeling happy to learn about dog mushing and the great Iditarod race, after having a good amount of time to engage with all of the adorable poochies! My husband has mobility issues, and Marissa was very accommodating and patient with us and ensured we were well taken care of. If we go back to Skagway, we would do this tour all over again. We loved it that much! Thank you, Marissa! You are definitely doing what you were meant to do! We wish you much success!
