5.00We had a wonderful time. This tour was a great experience that allowed us to see lots of things. We enjoyed the small group. We especially enjoyed driving through the tunnel to Whittier on the train track, seeing glaciers and seeing all the wildlife. Mark was a wonderful tour guide and was very committed to making the most of the tour. We highly recommend this tour.
Very knowledgeable guide

5.00Our guide, Mark, picked us up at our hotel and was great at texting to let us know. Returned us safely back! We saw beautiful Alaska even on a rainy, cloudy day. We saw moose and eagles, plus the animals at the wildlife conservation area.
Great Adventure

5.00We had an incredible time on this tour! Our guide Geoff picked us up from our hotel and took us on an incredible adventure! He was so kind and professional. We visited a glacier, some lakes, did some light hiking, went to the conservation center, and even saw some wildlife while on hikes. We saw a mom and baby moose and 2 black bears in the wild! This day trip was an add on before we went on our cruise, and honestly it was one of the best days of our entire 2 week trip. Highly recommend!
Great trip - get a lot of sightseeing in!

5.00Excellent tour with Elizabeth! Made the experience fun and memorable. Loved the small but informative history lesson of some the areas. Animal conservation center was very large and animals had plenty of roaming room. The small hikes and scenery are just breathtaking. Great day and activity packed. Thank you Elizabeth for making our last day here as memorable as it could be
We enjoyed the lunch and the coffee at Girdwood.

5.00Sherrye was wonderful and a lot of fun! The tour brought you all over the area right outside Anchorage. Sherrye stopped at some places that you might not know to stop at. The van was clean, comfortable, and a smooth ride. Sherrye was on time after great communication beforehand on timing and pick up.

5.00I had an amazing tour today with Elizabeth. Weather was not in our favor BUT she did not let that ruin our day. Our tour group opted out of a hike because of the wind and rain but she pivoted and gave us more time at the AWCC and took us later on a water fall hike that blew us away! One of the prettiest I’ve seen! She was super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. She gave us great suggestions when we asked, she was always right there on our stops to answer questions, take pictures, and just be a friendly face! I highly recommend her and this tour. She listened to what we wanted and made every effort for to make it happen! Thank you Elizabeth!

5.00The description delivers. What it I described is what you get. Our tour was extended as we had to deliver DEF diesel additive to a stranded tour van. It did not take away, it added to our adventure as we hunted for the van(limited cell service.) we even went on a hike at Byron Glacier.
