Guest Stories

“I really enjoyed my tour of Nome with Running Fox Tour Co! I've visited Nome several times over the past 15 years and knew a little of the history, but Carol brought it to a whole different level with her knowledge of the different historical landmarks in the town and what they represent. She kept the tour very interesting as well as informative. I highly recommend her as a tour guide!”
