While the scenery was beautiful, our driver with PicTours Alaska Tours tailgated other drivers, and looked up some things on his phone while driving, despite telling us there'd been some terrible traffic accidents on the highway between Anchorage and Girdwood. We learned more about the driver's travels to other countries, than he told us about Alaska and the local area. While I recommend going on a wildlife tour, I do not recommend this one with PicTours Alaska. I am sure this driver & guide has led some great tours, he may have been ready for the season to end, he didn't seem to be having a good day.

We thank you for sharing your thoughts about this excursion.
At times we have found visitors to be less than satisfied due to our far North West Pacific weather. Our area is surrounded by and possess an abundance of wildlife and geological wonders such as glaciers.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee all sightings will be viewed since conditions varies by season, ocean tides, safety, third party groups and powerful Alaska weather conditions that can be mild-to-harsh year round.
Again, thank you for sharing your experience.

Great trip for your first day in Anchorage
A great experience - highly recommend. Our Guide, Maria was knowledgeable and pleasant. We toured the Turnagain Arm, The Wildlife Sanctuary and saw salmon spawning in a creek. A very pleasant trip. My only suggestion for future travelers is to pack your own lunches if possible. The place that the tour stops for lunch is quite nice and the food is quite good but it was a little too expensive for our budget.

Anchorage amazing adventure!!
Our cruise ship stopped in Anchorage and our visit was greatly enhanced by your wonderful tour! Our guide Aaron was so knowledgeable and added humor to his presentation that made our time together lots of fun! His enthusiasm conveyed his love of the area and made us love it too!!!

Great tour to take if this is your first time to Alaska
Fog is likely and will obstruct views of the glaciers . That was a big disappointment that I was not aware of until our guide told us when we arrived for our tour.

Great Tour
The best thing about this tour was the guide, Patrick. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Alaska and the places that we visited were both on the schedule and little places that he knew about as a local, which added a great dimension to the trip. The bad side of this was Viator, which has atrocious customer service.

Unsafe Driving, I’d Pass on this Tour
While the scenery is beautiful, our PicTours Alaska guide was tailgating other drivers, and took out his phone while driving, although he mentioned to us there’d been a number of terrible accidents on the highway we were on. We had several other tours during the week with other companies and guides that were different. I would not recommend this tour to others.
