Chris, Kimberly, and Elizabeth lead tours that consistently impress visitors with their deep knowledge of Alaska and genuine enthusiasm for sharing it. Guests rave about the personalized attention, especially on smaller tours, and appreciate how guides accommodate photo stops and wildlife viewing opportunities. The food selections are delicious, and the tours cleverly combine history, culture, and local dining experiences. Whether exploring the Wildlife Conservation Center, hiking to Matanuska Glacier, or discovering Anchorage eateries, travelers feel they're getting an authentic local perspective rather than a typical tourist experience. A few guests wished for more food and fewer sweets on the culinary tours, or hoped for greater focus on hidden gems beyond downtown spots. One reviewer felt the downtown tour could have offered more detail for the price, and another noted some portion sizes felt small. These are minor quibbles in an otherwise stellar track record. The guides' willingness to customize experiences and run tours even for just two people demonstrates real commitment to quality. Traffic around Anchorage can occasionally slow things down, but the guides make the most of every moment with engaging stories and flexibility.
My family did the Glacier Blue Kayak & Grandview tour. What a great experience. Kayaking on Spencer Lake and hiking Spencer glacier was spectacular. The provided lunch was more than expected and delicious. The train ride was an added bonus. Seeing some of Alaska's best scenery from the comfort of the Alaskan Railway viewing car was great. Saw a lot of wildlife, the train stopped each time something special was identified so we could take photos. Our guide team, lead by Micah, included Blake, Abby, River and a few others were great. Highly recommend this adventure.
