I have mixed feelings and personal opinions about this tour. I did the Summit Tour with Glacier Landing. The tour itself was fantastic! I had waited 14 yrs to do this tour and landing and walking around on the glacier was beautiful. My only disappointment was the training we had gotten on how to use the oxygen. ½ of us used it one way and ½ of us used it another way. I felt like I missed 10 minutes of the best part of the flight over the peak of Denali messing with my oxygen because it wasn't sitting on my face correctly. I actually didn't even get to see the peak. I wished they had actually demonstrated how to put the oxygen on and maybe had us practice on land at the airport first. As once you are in the air the pilot cannot look back at us to know we are ok nor can we talk to the pilot, as you are not given a microphone to ask questions. Otherwise the tour was fantastic. I did actually speak with the office about this this and hope it will be changed for future travelers to make their experience perfect. The assured me this doesn't happen and so maybe it was just my own personal experience that flight. Otherwise I would definitely say this is the tour to chose from because Denali is so beautiful.
