Our visit to Anchorage was very well presented. The young man, I think his name was Derek, did an outstanding job. He was very knowledgable about the area. We greatly enjoyed him as a person and his presentation.

Tour was awesome. Tour guide was interesting, excited, knowledgeable. She was the perfect your guide. We saw one moose crossing the road in front of us and two more from a distance.

Our guide was Sarah, she was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about local plant, animals and geography. The tour was interesting, with lots of stops to walk around and admire the views. Highly recommended!

Great tour! Our guide Catherine did a wonderful job. It was a great introduction to Anchorage.
Review by: Susan H, July 2016
Rates a 2 star because guide was excellent. Anchorage doesn't have a lot to see but the Native Heritage Center was worth visiting

We really enjoyed our tour with Katie on Salmon berry tour. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what she was showing us. The tour gave us a good view of the city and the Native Center was excellent.

Review by: Larry M, August 2015
Bus was on time early and we were ready We had a perfect weather day, a very good guide, and was even better than could be expected. It was a late idea for the use of some free time and you all made it work great.
Review by: Dina D, August 2015
We appreciated seeing the outskirts of the city and the knowledgeable descriptions and history given by our guide.
Review by: Barbara D, August 2015
This tour really wasn't worth our time. We spent too much time on the bus and learned nothing new about Anchorage. Not enough time was allotted for the Native Heritage Center. We basically had to choose between the dance and the tour of the dwellings.
Review by: snomastv, August 2015
Very nice intro to Anchorage. Had beautiful weather and saw a black bear with cubs on the way to a view point above the city.
Review by: Michael M, August 2015
For our party of seven, the company refused to pick us up at our hotel, but we stopped at four others and actually passed ours by on the way to get the others. We felt like we were second-class. They dropped us off and everyone else. It didn't make any sense. The tour was ok, but overpriced for what we received. I would have preferred to simply go to the Native American Cultural Center. Live and learn.
Review by: Stephen S, July 2015
It was the same as the other Viator city tour, which should not be sold as being different from the other guided tour. One thing I found interesting was the bus tours and the Alaskan Railroad narrator each had their own version of the real history regarding some of the sights.
Review by: Robbie H, July 2015
Tour was great! Guide was knowledgeable, personable and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is in Anchorage for the first time.
Review by: Stephen S, July 2015
The tour was excellent. The guide was very friendly and full of fun information.
Review by: estelle b, July 2015
Wonderful experience to be able to see Anchorage and the surrounding area - tour through housing areas, out to Earthquake Park and to the Flattop viewing area made the trip well worthwhile. Don't miss the Native Heritage Center: it is well run and the shows onstage were outstanding.
Review by: Josanne P, July 2015
Very informative!
Review by: Rachael S, June 2015
This tour was great! I was able to get a real feeling of Anchorage, AK, as well as the Alaskan Native Heritage Center. Upgrading to include both a city tour and Heritage Center was well worth it.!
Review by: Sandy R, June 2015

A wonderful short tour. Our operator arrived at our hotel on time and was very informative in telling us about the history of Anchorage and the culture. He pointed out all of the highlights on the trip and was very accommodating in taking photos of my wife and me. Next time we will return a little earlier in the year when things are buzzing and more activities are taking place. Thanks!

Review by: Georgirene V, September 2013
This was a wonderful excursion. We saw all the highlights of Anvhorage and our driver was amazingly knowledgeable and told us wonderful stories about Alaska we would not have heard anywhere else. So glad we made this last minute reservation!
Review by: Kathleen H, July 2013
Very nice operation. Small and comfortable minibus with knowledgable and friendly guide. Was very accomodating and helpful.
Review by: Linda M, July 2013
Our tour guide was great! We just didn't find the tour to be that interesting. Service was good.
Review by: Debra G, July 2013
The tour was extremely informative and well-planned. An added plus was pick-up and drop-off at our son's residence where we were visiting. The guides were very courteous and knowledgeable and were able to answer questions that were posed by the tourists. I would definitely recommend this tour.
