Corey was our guide today . He was prompt in picking us up and very pleasant . He is very knowledgeable about Anchorage and its history . He is a very good driver and I appreciated his adherence to the rules . Answered many questions that I had and it was an enjoyable 8 hours in the comfortable Mercedes van ! I would certainly recommend this tour as it gave us a taste of the city and the natural side of Alaska!

This tour was way more than I anticipated. We covered a lot of ground and saw so many things, I never would have seen if we had explored on our own. I feel like we’ve been in Alaska a week and it’s only been a day because we just experienced so much. We saw a moose, bald eagle and even a bear out in their natural habitat. The tour guide was great and didn’t rush us to take in the moments.

Beautiful scenery. Hiked to the glacier on a trail. Spent time at the Wildlife Conservation Center experiencing the rescued animals.

Had a great day out seeing Anchorage with James! Very knowledgeable and saw many great sites. Highly recommended if you only have a day in Anchorage to see as much as possible.
