The following are actual thank you notes from guests of Yellowknife Tours:

Messrs C.Y.Chung & Associates Advocates & Solicitors MALAYSIA


Dear CK, Angela & Verda,   I hope you still remember me ....a member of Dato' Francis Ho's tour group which visited Yellowknife recently.   I do like to be frank and candid in any assessment but to be really honest, I can't think of any instance where your conduct of the tour was not top notch.   I especially enjoyed CK's running commentary on Yellowknife and its various attractions, even if my Chinese is rather half-baked. CK was indeed a treasure trove of knowledge when it came to Yellowknife and this despite being a Hong Kong native!   I also liked the variety which you injected into the programme ...like for instance viewing the aurora from different locations/places (cabin, indigenous village and lakeshore etc) which gave us a wonderful perspective of how the aurora looks like in different locations. The disappointment of failing to view the aurora on the first night and we were all dead tired having flown into Yellowknife from Ottawa via Edmonton was more than made up for by the spectacular views on the second and third nights....simply stunning!!! The view of the aurora perfectly silhouetted against the backdrop of the lake will forever be etched in my memory!   There were some in the group who felt that the aurora viewing on the first night should have been dispensed with. Of course we were all dead tired but we only had 3 nights in Yellowknife and it was the right thing to maximise our chances of viewing the aurora. I was in Finland on one of Giacomo's tours some 4 or 5 years ago and we were allocated just one night to view the aurora and didn't see anything! Yellowknife more than made up for that disappointment of not seeing the aurora in Finland. Indeed Yellowknife truly lived up to its reputation as being the aurora capital of the world. I was made to understand that the aurora viewed in Scandinavia usually does not last as long as that viewed in Yellowknife... but I never expected it to be shimmering skies for hours. It simply exceeded my expectations!   My experience in Finland was a let down ... they did not provide the same kind of facilities to view the aurora. No heated cabin for visitors to await the aurora and coupled with coffee/tea and snacks being served on top of that. We were in fact out in the open for 2 hours in the dead of winter and all huddled around a bonfire for warmth! For me the Yellowknife experience was a more pleasant and comfortable way to view the aurora!   I must also commend your agency for having Kris take pictures for us. The pictures were expertly taken and when I shared them with friends and family, some were piqued into making a trip to Yellowknife and for which I will definitely recommend your agency. I have yet to come across an agency that offers such a service!   The meals provided were adequate... there was also variety . The Chinese food was quite good but my favourite was the steakhouse where I had a rather succulent burger for lunch. Of course one cannot expect a small city like Yellowknife to have the same smorgasboard of culinary delights of big cities such as Vancouver or Toronto!   All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable 3 days in Yellowknife and my sincere thanks to the Law family for making dreams come true.   Kind regards, Michael Chung Messrs C.Y.Chung & Associates Advocates & Solicitors MALAYSIA
