Found this last minute as my mom and I needed something to do while the men were fishing. I must say, it was better than i expected it would be. Our tour guide Donna was great and very knowledgeable. The amount of history I left with was uncanny and I was excited to share this with the rest of our family. If you are in the mood to learn more and get to know the area, this is a great tour. We even got off the trolly a few times to take some pictures.
We had such a great time on our Anchorage Trolley Tour! Donna was a fabulous guide, blending history, humor, facts and family stories seamlessly. Plenty of great photo ops and fun from start to finish…highly recommended!
Donna's tour was excellent! She did a great job of providing historical information and personal experience.
Donna was very informative and made many stops offloading the trolley to show the sites.
A great tour. Our guide Donna shared a wealth of information, all of it true! The tour lasted two hours, which was perfect. Highly recommend.
Our guide Donna did a great job of telling our group about the history of Anchorage and many interesting facts about Alaska. The tour was fun and a great deal!
Our Deluxe Trolley Tour was one of the absolute highlights of our visit to Anchorage. Our guide, Lilly, was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, incredibly funny, and clearly passionate about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of Anchorage. She brought every stop to life with fascinating stories, local insights, and a wonderful sense of humor that kept everyone entertained from beginning to end. The tour itself was exceptional. We loved keeping an eye out for Alaskan moose, learning about the rich history of the Alaska Railroad, and hearing the story behind the Captain Cook Monument. The stops along the way were fantastic, especially Lake Hood Seaplane Base, where we were amazed by the world’s largest floatplane airport. Watching anglers at Ship Creek hoping to land a prized King Salmon was exciting, and Earthquake Park provided a powerful look at the impact of the devastating 1964 Good Friday earthquake. The breathtaking views from Point Woronzof, overlooking downtown Anchorage with the magnificent Chugach Mountains in the background, were simply unforgettable. Lilly made every moment memorable with her warmth, wit, and expertise. If you’re visiting Anchorage, this tour is an absolute must-do, and if you’re lucky enough to have Lilly as your guide, you’re in for a truly exceptional experience. Five stars all the way!
