Celeb was our tour guide. He took great care of us and made sure we were safe and comfortable during the entire ride. The downhill ride was thrilling and exciting. My family and I had lots of fun doing this tour.

I didn't realize when we booked how many people would be riding down at a time. The group was so large that you really just had to ride your break the entire time. Lost a bit of the trill of a downhill ride.

Great train ride but the windows need to have the ability to be opened for air and better pictures. FANTASTIC BIKE RIDE. Need the option to go on this ride and be in a group that rides as fast as possible down the path.

We wanted a tour that got us off the tour bus and let us experience the real Alaskan air. World class views and all down hill and flat except 100m. Great service from all and personal thanks to Melissa and Taylor for looking after us. Cruisers book direct couldnt be easier and much better value for money. -Mel and Shaun, Dover, UK
