HIGHLY recommend :)
This review is LONG overdue! This tour was one of the highlights of my trip - the tour guide was incredibly friendly, relatable and knowledgeable. I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to get a private tour from an individual that very clearly adores what they do, loves where they live and wants to share the full extent of Alaska's beauty to a first time traveler and make it memorable :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Worth weathering the cold in January!
Brittney is so personable and knowledgeable. She took us to all the best spots for picture-taking. Her tour was well-organized an although it was well below 0 degrees, she kept us warm while keeping it fun.

Beautiful views and great company!!
Wonderful trip! Brittany was so great and knowledgeable! She was so kind and knew all of the best spots! It really felt like she was a longtime friend we were visiting and she was taking us to all of the best spots! We learned so much! She made sure to get us the best views of the sunset. They’re hard to catch in the winter and happen fast but she made sure we caught it at multiple spots! She knew about all of the animals at the conservation! It was freezing and windy out and she was great with making sure we had enough stops with keeping warm. She was great with our kids and answered all of their questions. I highly recommend this trip with her!!

excellent experience
The guide took me on even i was the only one signed up for the day. She was very friendly and passionate about things she showed me.
I am against zoo so this conversation center is a good place to see some native animals. The guide knows every animal in the wildlife centre by name!
It was very enjoyable and I highly recommend this tour if you have limited time in Anchorage or just want a shorter day tour.

The Best Tour Guide!
This was an amazing tour. Brittany is so passionate about Alaska, and was excited to share everything she knows. While at the Wildlife Conservation Center, she was able to tell me everything about every single animal there. And she has a great eye! At one point, we pulled over after she spotted some dall sheep in the mountains. She also took me to some areas where moose frequent and we saw 3! Overall, a great tour with a great teacher.

Great sunset tour!
Brittney was great. Even though no one else booked this tour, she still took just the two of us on a great tour. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the animals at the conservation center and it shows. Got incredible sunset views despite the cloudy day. Definitely recommend taking this tour with Brittney.

My heart is full
Brittany was a wonderful historian and information vault! She has a knack for explaining and sharing her wealth of knowledge that made me feel like she’s never met a stranger. The views were breathtaking and it was awesome seeing all the animals up close! The foxes ate dinner for an audience and the wolves were having fun playing. I could have watched them for hours. The lookout/stopping points were perfect for 360* picturesque views. I’m so glad we did this tour! My heart is full💗!
Operator response
Thank you so much! I had a great time! Reviews like this are exactly why I do this! I hope you're able to come back for a summer trip in the future!

Amazing tour and very knowledgeable
Brittney is an amazing guide. She really makes you feel like you’re visiting a friend showing you the beauty of Alaska. She is very knowledgeable in the life of an Alaskan, the wildlife and has a great cheerful personality. She is a great conversationalist making this tour awesome. We saw plenty of wildlife and during feeding times. Lots of photo opportunities. Thank you for sharing Alaska’s beauty.
