Very Informative and Fun
The Trolley tour was wonderful and even though it was rainy and overcast I still had a great time. Our guide told us lots of stories about the area. I loved visiting the Ulu factory. I would recommend this tour anyone.

Great Use of Limited Time in Anchorage
Great tour and well worth the money to see some top sights inside and around Anchorage. I came from a cruise ship docked in Whittier so time was limited. Ian was a jolly guide with a positive attitude and some entertaining stories. The tour went smoothly from start to finish. There isn't much to see in Anchorage so this was a great use of 90 minutes. I can recommend this tour.

Five-Star Trolley...
Five-Star Trolley Experience! Our trolley tour today was a five-star experience from start to finish. Our driver was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history and educational insights throughout the entire route. We especially appreciated the scenic stops and the fact that he gave us ample time to hop off, explore, and take photos without ever feeling rushed. His professionalism and storytelling made this tour one of the absolute highlights of our trip. If you are looking for an informative, scenic, and well-paced city tour, this is definitely worth booking. Kudos to the driver for an outstanding job

Definitely helpful to get to know Anchorage
I learned a lot of tidbits about Anchorage, including the underground house in one of the neighborhoods! We also saw the float plane airport! It was great to have a guide from the city, and his family went 3 generations back from Anchorage. The coupon book is not very useful so I would not make your choice based on that. But I still found this tour well worth it as a way to get to know some of the area.

Anchorage Tour
Unfortunately I do not remember the tour guide’s name but he was from Georgia…he was great. Good tour!

Worth The Trip
The guide was very informative and engaged with our group the entire time. I could tell he wanted to share so much more with us but under time constraints he couldn’t. Might be a future tour, with the same guide, that’s a little longer. But, when you’re enjoying yourself, time flys.. I booked this for me and my mom. I’m here on business and honestly didn’t have the time to join but I made time. She enjoyed a lot, so that made me happy. Visiting from Texas

Dissappointed
Expected to see some good sights around Anchorage and learn about its history...that was not the case. I assume the tour of Anchorage didn't meet my expectations is because it's such a small town, and much of any historical buildings from the early 1900's didn't survive? Bus driver was very personable, nice and funny. But, the tour was almost entirely (literally) a comedy act of jokes. The four adult family members were all disappointed. The tour had a few highlights, but not worth the time or money.
J
It was a wonderful, fun,...
It was a wonderful, fun, and educational experience about the city! We only had a short amount of time to see Anchorage and our guide was able to inform us about many of the highlights in that short amount of time!
