Parker was an excellent guide. The itinerary was a perfect introduction to Anchorage and Alaska. Parker shared many stories and insights about Alaska, the history and wildlife.

We had an excellent driver/guide: Christopher. He has an impressive amount of knowledge about Alaska and obviously enjoys sharing that knowledge with visitors. Christopher made sure that all of us got to experience the sights and see the wildlife along the way.

It was my first time to choose a glacier & wildlife conservation center, and I think it was worth it. I personally think it was a valuable experience and I was very satisfied. It was a meaningful day seeing the magnificent scenery from the glacier, the wildlife conservation center, and the various animal research centers in the prairie that you have never seen before. Especially our guide Christopher, his knowledge and consideration made our group enjoyable. He is a very knowledgeable and excellent guide. We had a great experience in the Anchorage, AK

Brooks started this tour in a great way by introducing people by their location to the other passengers as each group was picked up at their hotel (and dropped off at the end—another perk) Great tour to see areas of the town of Anchorage but the best part was driving south of Anchorage all the way to the tunnel to Whittier. Brooks was a great tour guide giving us history etc along the way as well as answering our questions and would offer stops for pictures, bathroom/food stops so the 10 passengers could give input instead of having to follow a timed schedule. To have a guide who grew up in Alaska was a huge bonus! We saw sheep on the rocks, a reclining moose (Brooks even turned around so we could drive by again for a second/better look) We also liked the multiple views and photo opps of mountains with snow etc. The snacks/water offered and multiple bathroom breaks made it comfortable too. Stop at animal reserve too with drive thru views and stops to walk and see a variety of animals. The drive around girdwood was also cool including the added quarter mile “hike” to see a waterfall, then a stop for lunch(time determined by passengers) and back to Anchorage. Great day!!
