Mythos Alaska – Believe it or Not
Here are some important questions and answers about Online Savings and Reservations |
| Q: |
Could I organize the same package by myself for less money? |
| A: |
You can’t - because tour operator and corporate identities receive always much lower rates than an individual person. On top you will need to spend a significant amount of time to find the right products, call the supplier, echange Information and get the right recommendation for the entire vacation package. Virtually impossible. |
| Q: |
But Tour Operators are working with huge mark ups? |
| A: |
They don’t – at least not the majority of them. It’s just a nice try to lure you to the company who suggest this. |
| Q: |
Should I reserve the tour with a company who guarantees the same rate as each individual supplier I found online? |
| A: |
Well – you can - but it’s foolish and does not make sense because you are better off to make the reservation in this case by yourself. This cost is either the same – or probably less - if you use certain advertised online discounts. If your calculation is still higher we suggest using a tour company. |
| Q: |
I don’t like any of your Scheduled Tours – Any Alternatives? |
| A: |
We can customize a tour the way you like. Provide us with your preferences and we will forward a proposal to you within 24 hours. |
| Q: |
Should I book a Self Drive Tour or use other means of Transportation? |
| A: |
This depends on your personal preference. Alaska has some good and scenic highway connections and driving is easy. A rental car provides an independent way to discover the beauty of Alaska: You can stop were you like, have plenty of time for sightseeing off the beaten path and you are more flexible. Other tours are very limited in flexibility: Do you want to sit on a transfer bus longer than needed because he runs from hotel to hotel first? |
| Q: |
Should I Compare the Rates of Tour Companies on the Internet? |
| A: |
Yes definitely. You will notice sooner or later who is serious with his promises or who is “blowing hot air“ because meanwhile almost everyone claims that he/she either has the largest selection or most affordable tour program just for you. Compare the actual rates and ensure they are current, check all services included, look for hidden charges such as reservation or ticketing fees and taxes - and than make your decision. |
| Q: |
What is the advantage booking with a “ long time “ Alaskan Resident Company? |
| A: |
None. Most Alaska residents are traveling less than your self. |
| Q: |
Can I Trust a Company which claims “ 30 + “ Alaska Travel Experience more? |
| A: |
Don’t believe any mythos or claims of 30 + years of travel experience - unless you have thouroughly checked the company record. Some companies who are claiming this are not even incorporated. |
| Q: |
How can I check the Credibility of a Tour Company? |
| A: |
On various ways: You can call the applicable Better Business Bureau for information – but understand that most information (with the exception of complaints) are provided directly by the tour operator -, check the company history record within the Alaska Corporate Section Database, make sure the company is an incorporated LLC, INC and LTD, or simply trust the company of your choice. Don’t let anyone play with your fears because most online companies are reliable. |
