Beautiful drive in a comfortable coach. Joe our driver was very informative about the area & Alaska. One in our family uses a wheelchair & Joe was very helpful.
Knowledgeable and friendly driver. It was a fun drive that seemed much shorter than the cl9ck told us. We'll strongly recommend the tour to friends.
I think I had a unique experience because I was the only guest on the tour. Despite that, my tour guide Talon and I had a really great time. He was very sociable and a great guy all around. I feel like I made a temporary friend.
Driver courteous, knowledgeable. Bus comfortable. Stop at Wild Animal Rescue broke up the 3 hour drive. We arrived ship side timely.
This was a pleasant bus ride with excellent narration by our driver/guide Zach. We enjoyed the stop at the wildlife preserve. Timing was perfect. The only suggestion I could make was that the tour took about 3.5 hours over our regular lunch time. If anyone in your party gets cranky if they miss a regular meal, bring along hearty snacks and drinks. There was some food available at the wildlife preserve, but it might not appeal to everyone.
I couldn’t ask for a better experience going from Anchorage to Seward. We were offered help with our luggage and the stop at the wildlife center perfectly broke up the drive. The coach was spotless and the tour parts were knowledgeable. High recommend!
Great tour; plenty of quiet time. Perk of this transfer is that if you pretag your bags, you can go right to the terminal or into Seward. The driver pulls right up to baggage turn-in and pre-tagged bags get loaded right into the container for the ship. If you didn’t pre tag bags you’ll have to wait for a cruise line rep to tag them for you.
Easy and pleasant transfer to Seward. Nice bus and good driver. Wildlife conservation center breaks up the trip nicely. Views are spectacular.
Bus was great. Very informative driver. Bus was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this trip
Our ride was in a comfortable 12 passenger van. We were traveling to Seward and the stop at the wildlife refuge was a wonderful bonus of the trip. Our driver was friendly and informative.
