Alaska Travel Planning Guide: Help for the independent traveler

You’ve Googled, Binged and blogged. Image-heavy websites overwhelm and leave you dizzy. Guidebooks and brochures with enticing photos are stacking up and toppling over. You have a good idea of what you’d like to see and do but you’re still mystified about how to pull it all together. Your local travel agent, if you can still find one, pulls out a package tour for you and your 2,500 closest friends.
If you’re on information overload, our Alaska Travel Planning Guide can help you cut through the clutter. Whether your special interests are wildlife viewing, nature photography, local culture, historic sites or visual or performing arts, you can give form to your ideal Alaskan vacation and live it as you imagined it could be. We’ve used these guidelines to plan custom itineraries for independent travelers from around the world, including solo travelers. They’ll work for you too. Heeding our advice can save you hours of frustration and wasted dollars, before and during your travels.

The back story of Alaska Up Close, the travel planning service on which these guidelines are based, and the woman who founded it, is now available in "Red & Blue: A Memoir of Two Alaskan Tour Guides."
