Our John Hall trip to South Africa was the trip of a lifetime! The personal attention to details and our enjoyment was way beyond what is typical of a tour company. Thanks to our tour guide, Elizabeth, I was able to experience a trip I had long hoped to have. There just are not words to express how much it mean't to me.
South Africa was our 2nd trip with John Hall's Alaska and both trips were excellent. Everything from the planning, the communications, the itinerary, the inclusions, the hotels & resorts, etc, etc was perfect. It's a pleasure to travel with a great team of pros!
This is my second tour with John Hall's Alaska and they are first class all the way. Not only in the experiences, hotels, food that they offer but in their customer service. They make you feel like family and provide you with a time of your life.
2018 - Alaska via plane (charter, float and bush), train, boat and motor coach! Trip of a lifetime! 2024 - South Africa via plane and boat! Treasured experiences! Many thanks to Elizabeth Hall and staff for their outstanding work to make these travels truly exceptional!

Wonderful trip and great people!
Tremendous attention to detail, very well planned.
Well organized with obviously several team players for all to work out so well, as it did. I loved the itinerary and we so lucked out with the weather. Every destination on the "Untamed Alaska" was different, but my favorite was the boat trip from Valdez. I thought our tour guide, Paul was very informed and our driver, Larry did a great job behind the scene, with all the luggage tagging and moving. Nice to see the family work so well together!
My wife and I traveled on the Joh Hall Untamed Alaska tour in August 2024. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The accommodations, food, transport were all top of the line, but most importantly the path the tour took through Alaska brought us to so many great sites and experiences that we will remember always. Everyone from John Hall we came in contact with could not have been more professional, accommodating, and personable. It was a trip of a lifetime!
We had a wonderful time on our John Hall’s Untamed Alaska trip. The tour guides were very good, the adventures fun, food was delicious everyday and we hope to do another trip in the future.
We enjoyed the stress-free opportunity to see Alaska for the first time. It was almost flawless. The food was great and most restaurants were of the highest quality. There were a couple of lunch stops that were in keeping with the adventure we were on. So not as fancy. The accommodations were terrific. The bus driver who narrated our adventure was professional and personable and fun. We were both a small group, and they were friendly and silly and all and all a great time.
We took the John Hall’s Alaska “Untamed Alaska” tour in August. This was our first “premium” trip in 42 years of marriage, and the John Hall’s Alaska experience met our every expectation. A very well organized and coordinated trip with a perfect variety of tour locations and excellent excursion experiences either for our whole group together or as optional smaller group choices. Great lodging accommodations at every stop. The “small group” tour aspect was very enjoyable for us, and we had a great group of people on our tour with us. Our Tour Manager, Paul, did a great job keeping us all on the same page, and his own travel expertise and overall knowledge of Alaska and our specific tour experiences were a huge plus. A great trip all around! John Hall’s will certainly be our first option to consider for our next premium travel adventure.
The staff. They were outstanding. Everything was as advertised,
What a wonderful experience from start to finish. The bus driver/guide/ host Eric was the best. In the early part of the trip Rebecca was an added bonus. We had a single gentleman on our trip that Rebecca helped fit in and make friends. It goes to show John Halls Tours care about its travelers 👍👍. I have and will tell people what a great tour and great value for your money. The only complaint if you can call it that, is that food portions at some restaurants were way too much for some of us. Great friends were made.
WE really loved our trip. Paul our tour guide did an awesome job. Every part of the trip was planned and executed well. Thanks for the great adventure. We will tell friends about John Hall.
John Hall's Alaska - Untamed Alaska - tour was great. We got the chance to do so many different items, Helicopter Ride & Landing on a Glacier, ATV Riding in water and hilly terrain with the beautiful landscape as our backdrop, taking a train ride in the 1st class dome section and taking a jet boat ride getting so close to class 6 rapids while seeing lots of bears and eagles. People just need to remember that 50 or 60 degrees there is still quite cool because of the permafrost. Dress in layers.
Wonderful service & super food. Outstanding bus driver/tour guide, Eric Vega. It was a trip of a lifetime.
Our tour guide on the bus was very knowledgeable of Alaska. He was very friendly and tried to meet the needs of everyone on the bus. His enthusiasm made our trip enjoyable. The accommodations were top rate and the vast array of food choices were delicious.
Staff was very courteous and knowledgeable, always asking if we needed anything. 3 meals a day, waayy to much food, we started spliting meals. Accommodations were very nice. Our travel coach was very nice, of a size that could fit 56 seats but only had 42 so leg room was plenty. Kurig coffee maker, loaded with several flavors of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Bottled water and snacks galore. Got to see the real Alaska.

Feb 24,2025No details were overlooked and everything was included. All of the activities were excellent! We would not hesitate to take another trip with John Hall’s Alaska- whether in Alaska or internationally. Our Southern Africa adventure was the trip of a lifetime!
