Luxury Tours was nothing short of exceptional.

From the very beginning, Jill was wonderful to work with. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the planning process seamless, and she was instrumental in ensuring every aspect of our program came together perfectly. Our guests who experienced the Rainforest Waterfall Trek absolutely raved about their guide, Lisa. Her knowledge of the area, engaging personality, and genuine passion for Alaska created an unforgettable adventure. Guests returned talking about the breathtaking scenery, beautiful trails, and incredible waterfalls, sharing that it was one of the most memorable experiences of their visit to Juneau. Lisa’s enthusiasm and storytelling truly brought the rainforest to life. I also want to recognize Kevin, who demonstrated outstanding professionalism and flexibility throughout the day. Although changing weather meant his tour ultimately wasn’t needed, he remained on standby without hesitation, ready to step in at a moment’s notice if our helicopter guests needed an alternative experience. His patience, positive attitude, and willingness to adapt gave me tremendous peace of mind during a day when flexibility was everything. Having a partner who is that dependable is invaluable. As a destination management company, having trusted partners makes all the difference, and Alaska Luxury Tours proved to be exactly that. Thank you to Jill, Lisa, Kevin, and the entire team for your outstanding service and commitment to creating exceptional guest experiences. We look forward to working with you again and highly recommend Alaska Luxury Tours to anyone looking to experience the very best of Juneau.

A great hike with informative and patient guides!

Our group of 4 was perfect for this hike. We had one member of our party who came down with a cold on short notice, but still wanted to go. The guides were great and very understanding. We went slower than most groups that I read in previous reviews, so I'm glad we were the only people on the tour, so we did not hold up strangers. We took many short breaks along the hike but the trail through the woods was magical. We were expecting to get closer to the glacier (which may or may not have had to do with our slower than average pace). I believe we were told there would be about a 600 foot elevation gain, but it felt like more.

Family hike & waterfall excursion

Cruise into Juneau, and booked this tour for a hike and waterfall tour. The rain had us wondering if this was the best decision. Our tour guide, Katie was excellent. She offered several suggestions, and we decided to take a shorter hike and walk over to Nugget Falls. She was entertaining, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! Thanks Katie!!!

Beautiful hike

This was a highlight of our cruise! Our guide was amazing - knowledgeable and kept a nice pace. We were the only people on the trail and it was so clean and beautiful. A much needed break from the crowds. My kids had a blast. Perfect effort to reward ratio!

Highly recommend this scenic hike!!

This was an amazing hike! Kevin was friendly and informative. The hike timing allows for an easy pace. Usually I like to go a little faster, but the scenery was so unique and beautiful, it was nice to go slower and soak it in.

A wonderful way to spend a day in Juneau.

Gene was a wonderful guide. He possessed extensive knowledge of the forest growth, region, local history, and current challenges. The trek itself was moderate in difficulty and enjoyable and scenic.
