Regular vs Deluxe
We took the “basic” tour which is not the deluxe tour. The difference is that
you do not stop and get off and walk
around for ?? minutes on the basic tour and therefore is shorter. The guide, Ian, was entertaining. He was more about engaging with the folks on the trolley and meshing Anchorage and Alaska information into the conversation with them, which was okay and entertaining, but some of riders may not have gotten the satire.

“Ty” this tour in Anchorage
What a great experience! Anchorage does not offer a whole heck of a lot of things to do but the one thing I would recommend is to take the trolley tour, our tour guide, Tyland (Ty), was absolutely amazing. He even sang the Alaska State song at the end. If you have the opportunity to take the tour, definitely ask for Ty.
