The small group is priceless and the guy takes you to places he knows and some big busses cannot reach. The group was fun and we loved the animals we saw

This was the best way to spend our day after our cruise before leaving on an evening flight. Our driver was knowledgeable and personable and he made sure everyone had a good time. The frequency of stops to get out and enjoy the views or take short walks was ideal. The lunch pit stop was delicious and should be a mainstay for this tour.
A great way to get from Whittier to Anchorage and see some interesting sites along the way!

This excursion was a perfect way to end our trip to Alaska. We were picked up at the cruise port and taken to all the places listed plus a few extra. Dan was our very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable driver that taught us many things about the area. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone needing a ride to the airport because you will have a great time getting there!
