I thought this tour would be ideal but unfortunately it didn't resemble the advertised tour hardly at all. .Photography on Ice Road - we were allowed one stop on the ice road until my friend asked if we could stop again. Visit Snow Castle and Fish Plant - we didn't visit the snow castle or the fish plant Up close photography of boat houses - no close up photography of the boat houses, they were just dots on the other side of the lake. Learn the history about Great Slave Lake and the local residents that call it home - no history of either was given. Taste some of Great Slave Lake smoked fish from fish plant - nope it didn't happen. we never went to a fish plant and certainly never got to taste any fish. Absorb some knowledge from local fisherman on how they manage to catch some of the world largest fish in extreme cold temperatures from fully frozen thick ice on Great Slave Lake. - Didn't happen. At the fish market you will have opportunity to shop fresh fish and smoked fish from Great Slave Lake - again it didn't happen. At the end of tour your driver/guide will drop you off at hotel. We were taken to 2 gift shops in the old town as I believe the driver was receiving commission on anything that we bought. The tour only lasted 1½ hours. It was a complete waste of 177. We are going to Las Vegas next year and I was looking at the trips available through Viator but to be honest if this is the quality of the trips I think I will shop elsewhere. Very, very disappointed.
