Our tour guide (Vao) was wonderful, personable and fun! Enjoyed learning about Earthquake park and the tasting at the Alaska Sausage and Seafood store.

Melissa was great as we had the luxury of having a Native, Inuit not only show us the history about the places but her own personal stories which was so rare to have. Our experience, also being Native Hawaiians made it more relevant and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, delicious food tastings and rare moose sighting!

This tour stayed in Anchorage and took you to Anchorage points of interest. The guide was very good and the stops are for products that are worth getting. Purchases are optional. I really liked the smoked salmon and the chocolate.

Donna was a great guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. Unfortunately a few of the scheduled stops were closed for Christmas, the ulo factory and the salmon tasting which we had been looking forward to so not super happy about this, but still will give 5 stars because of Donna.
