We had an amazing experience on our Welcome Anchorage tour! Our guide was awesome, very personable and knowledgeable about the area. All of our stops were gorgeous, and we really enjoyed our time at the wildlife conservation center. The van was very comfortable and we were grateful for the snacks and water. The restaurant chosen for lunch, Basecamp, was very good. The seafood chowder was a highlight! Highly recommend this tour, especially if you're new to the area!
