We visited North Pole and it was fun to meet Santa and Mrs Claus and their herd of caribous with elaborate anthers
We also visited Fountainhead Antique Automobile Museum. There are 85 classic cars from 1900 to 30’s Side by side with the cars are historic fashion collection and snapshots from Alaska’s own automotive history .I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent!

Our guide was super nice. Went extra mile for my mother at Santa's house it was her birthday. We both thoroughly enjoyed trip it made our 1st Alaska experience a truly more fulfilling vacation! Highly recommended! (Ps suggest changing 'who was with you' option to just family/non children)

Had a great time. Randy was very knowledgeable about the area and the stops and told us a lot of the history of Fairbanks and Alaska. Definitely would recommend this tour for any visitor. The Morris Thompson Center was pretty cool and had a great visit with Santa at his house.

We always like to take a city tour so we know where we want to go back to. This one was great for what we wanted - a bit of driving around and stops at a few places. Aaron, our guide, is a local and very informative about Fairbanks. There is not a lot of specific information on economics, history and statistics of Fairbanks but more aimed at seeing what's here with stops at various points of interest. The Visitors Center is well worth a visit - even has a variety of free movies about Alaska. We didn't have time to see a movie on the tour but went back later. The Museum of the North on the University of Alaska is fabulous also has films for a small charge and our visit for about 30 minutes was just a taste so we'll go back. We wanted to mail our Christmas cards from North Pole and Aaron very kindly took us to the Post Office there for a brief stop to do that. Santa Claus House is fun - it's a big gift shop but so interesting and the Santa there is great - his name is really Santa Claus - he'll show you his driver's license! Don't miss the Alaskan Bowl Factory - the work is beautiful!! A good afternoon.

Because we went in mid-January, with winter in full swing, tours that meant someone else drove were wonderful. In warm weather, you could do all this yourself in a rental car, but if you don't choose to drive, I highly recommend this tour. The Museum at the Univ of Alaska, Fairbanks and the visit to North Pole were the best parts for me. The Morris Thompson Center was also wonderful, but I had earlier walked there myself from our hotel Springhill Suites and spent enough time to watch all the movies, which you don't have time for on this tour. The driver was very nice and knowledgeable, too. I believe his name was Aaryn. My brother an I were the only two people in the van, so we had a chance to dialogue a lot.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
