I second the notion of good old fashioned talking to people rather than relying on the internet.
Ideally talk to someone you trust who has actually been on a hunt with the guide you are hunting with, or at least talk to several people so you know he's not just cherry-picking clients.
A friend of mine and I went to Alaska with an outfitter who advertised in Cabela's. The guide himself was a decent kid, but the tents were Eurekas porous to the fine blowing snow (the guide himself of course had a proper tent which was nice and dry); I wouldn't and didn't send my daughter to girl scout camp in something that flimsy. The guide had a Whisperlite stove but it didn't work, so couldn't boil water after day 2. No working water filter. And, I swear, he had a rifle he had not sighted in (because he broke the scope on his primary rifle) and FIVE rounds of ammo with fresh meat in camp in grizzly country. I had 40 rounds of which I did expend 3 scaring off a sow with 2 cubs, but that's another story.
Another friend and his son went to Alaska on a float trip; guide dropped them off with their gear and was to return the next day with the rafts; got drunk and showed up 5 days later. We were all experienced outdoorsmen and did OK.
Most guides are super cool and honest but the internet is not your best friend. So Alaska is tough because the likelihood of knowing someone there is slim but tons of folks on here from Montana.
....2020....my bad
