Beyond our expectations
Our National Parks tour was beyond our expectations. This was one of a few times that we have traveled with a tour group. The Hall family does an outstanding job with logistics-from flights, to hotel rooms, to all the meals!
We got to know so many great fellow travelers, kindred spirits when it comes to National Parks!
We saw beautiful lakes,glaciers, bears, whales, and so much more. We highly recommend this trip.

We traveled with John Hall in June 2026…
We traveled with John Hall in June 2026 on the Grand Slam tour.
We visited Anchorage, Valdez, Fairbanks, and Denali/Talkeetna.
The price of this tour seemed a little high at first glance, I admit. But as we researched everything included in the fee, we decided it was worth taking the chance on. We were so glad we signed up. The tour was amazing! And that fee covered everything ! The only thing we spent money on once we were picked up by John Hall representatives were souvenirs and a few lattes. We visited 2 national parks, Trailbreakers Kennel, Prince William Sound, and many other great places. Every meal was first class (I gained 4lbs in 10 days!). We had several lunches and dinners as a group but we also received meal vouchers to eat on our own several nights. This was really nice as we had time with our group to socialize and make friends but we also had time to spend alone. We especially enjoyed the Fat Mermaid in Valdez and Michael’s Pizza in Talkeetna. Our tour guide, Pat, was friendly and knowledgeable. We were incredibly impressed with the obvious time and effort Pat put into learning little details about every stop along the way and sharing them with us with his great radio voice! He really took the experience of the tour to the next level for us!
