Escaping Anchorage LLC

Chris, Kimberly, and Elizabeth lead tours that consistently win praise for their deep local knowledge and personable approach. Guests rave about how these guides share Alaskan history and stories while maintaining a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than being on a traditional bus tour. The company offers various experiences, from food tours around Anchorage to wildlife center visits and glacier excursions, with guides willing to customize routes and make spontaneous stops when something special catches their eye, like beluga whales or moose. The food selections get plenty of love for quality and variety, though a few guests felt portions could be more generous or wished for different food-to-sweets ratios. The tours shine brightest when they balance local eateries with cultural insights, and guides seem particularly skilled at pointing out hidden gems alongside popular spots. Most reviewers emphasize the personal touch, especially appreciating when tours run with small groups that allow for flexibility with photo stops and pacing. A couple of guests wanted more historical detail or additional downtown sites, but the overwhelming majority describe their experiences as must-do adventures that showcase Alaska through a genuine local lens.
