From a town tour that takes in historic and cultural sites, to a journey over Alaska's farthest-north highway to Prudhoe Bay, motor coaches are a popular choice for viewing the Great Land.
Some companies also offer optional add-on adventures.
Often a motor coach tour is one leg of the trip, the other being a flight or cruise to or from the state. A little time shopping around may produce a satisfactory package deal, since competition is stiff in the motor coach industry. Ask tour operators exactly what the tour includes and does not include, from meals to admission fees at concessions where the motor coach stops. Ask how long the company has operated this tour in Alaska, what their standards are for hiring and training drivers, their standards for maintaining vehicles, and contingency plans in the event of a breakdown. Ask about stops for photo opportunities, shopping and stretching.
