4.00Our trolley driver, Ian, was hilarious!! Better than the stand up comedian on the cruise ship. He was very informative. I wish there had been a few more stops of interest—parks, memorials, something? Maybe there aren’t any in town? But Ian made it special.

3.00The tour was enjoyable, but it didn’t last for two hours and wasn’t a good value for money. However, the guide was very informative and provided a great overview of the tour.

5.00What a great tour! Donna was our guide, and she was a fount of knowledge. As a retired English teacher, she was also a great storyteller. We learned so much about Anchorage and the surrounding areas that we never could have known had we explored on our own. We saw beluga whales! The weather was glorious, and we had a clear view of Denali. Spectacular!!
Fun and funny

5.00We highly recommend this Deluxe Trolley Tour which approximately 2 hours and takes passengers all over the city with at least 4 photo/history stops. Our driver, John, has lived in Anchorage 47 years and shared lots of history and interesting tidbits. The trolley was reasonably comfortable and stops allowed us to stretch our legs. Very little walking required.
