Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person
Overview
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
This is one of the most amazing drives of your vacation! ...I'm Kel Thompson, the owner/operator and your tour guide! Yes, I do all my own tours (and stunts!) I've guided over 10,000 guests for multiple companies in my career here in Alaska and now offer my own private tours in an amazing new Mercedes Sprinter! Before guiding I was a standup comedian and combine humor with a fervent love of Alaskan history, and this all goes into your cruise transfer, which goes through the historic Anton Anderson tunnel and down the mountain lined Turnagain Arm! Along the way, we'll pull out for photo stops and a coffee if you would like! (Time permitting.) I am very flexible and want to make this part of your journey just as fun and memorable as the rest of your vacation! I have limited availability so book early and message me any special requests via the app you booked on! (I can accommodate private groups up to 10 people per tour.) I look forward taking you from Whittier to Anchorage!

Kel is a wonderful driver/guide to go from Whittier to Anchorage

5.00Kel gave my wife and two grandsons a wonderful tour from Whittier to Anchorage airport. We started at Portage Glacier lake, with a spectacular view of a glacier flowing into the lake. Kel gave us lots of background on the glaciers, how glaciers formed and how the scene changes from winter to summer. He took us to the Alaska wildlife conservation center to see a variety of Alaskan wildlife. Then after a lunch stop, we took a gondola ride to the top of the Alyeska ski resort, with spectacular view for snow, cap mountains, and verdant valleys. Finally, he took us to Lake Hood to see the sea planes landing and taking off. At each activity, he gave us lots of information and told funny stories about Alaska and his experiences in Alaska. We couldn’t have asked for a better transition from a seven day Princess cruise to our flight home. Kel is a great and considerate guide.
Private van is worth it!

5.00Kel was a great guide! We were taking the transfer to Whittier to go on a cruise. He stopped along the way, letting us take pictures and giving us information about the area. Took us on a coffee stop and bathroom stops! He went out of his way to show us different areas since we had the time. Even gave us Alaskan gifts! Great time!
Great private tour

5.00From the moment I booked the tour, Kelley was great, very communicative, and rapidly responded to my questions. He let me customize the tour. The tour was very boutique with hotel pickup, and nice touches like water bottles, and Alaska chocolate and flags provided. The car was comfortable and clean. Kelley used a professional microphone. And he was very funny! He even played the Mission Impossible theme song as we went through the Whittier tunnel. We had a great time and would definitely book with Kelley again. He was personable and professional, and the tour was great!
