Originally from Portland, Oregon, I fell in love with Alaska during a January trip in 2019 and made Fairbanks my permanent home the following summer. My journey in local tourism began as a shuttle driver transporting guests to an Aurora destination, where I quickly discovered my passion for sharing local history and stories along the route. Since then, I have guided tours across Alaska, constantly acquiring books along the way, and learning everything I can about this amazing state. But no matter where I travel, coming back to Fairbanks always feels like coming home. My tours aim to share what makes the Golden Heart City special. You can expect deep dives into local history, native culture, and gold rush lore, plus hot springs and the adaptations needed to live and thrive in the subarctic environment. I keep my tours relaxed, conversational, and tailored to your interests, ensuring that you leave with not just great photos, but a true local's perspective on life in the Far North.

Fairbanks City Highlights
Overview of your Fairbanks tour
For travelers who have only a few hours, but want to see the most popular sights in town. The following itinerary is a suggestion. If you have visited one of the destinations on this tour, don't let that stop you. I am more than happy to recommend alternative stops. Just ask!
Your Fairbanks tour itinerary
The tour starts when I pick you up downtown or at your lodging. We proceed to our first stop at the Trans Alaska Pipeline to learn about this incredible feat of engineering. Next, we drive over to the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. Here we spend about an hour exploring the collection of vintage automobiles, early Alaskan transportation history, and period fashions. When we leave the museum, it is time to visit Santa! Located in the city of North Pole, the Santa Claus House is a classic tradition. Visit with Santa Claus, snap photos with the giant Santa statue, and browse the gift shop. Once we finish up at Santa Claus House we will finish out the tour and drop off right back where we started.
