The Deluxe tour was so much more than I expected and is highly recommended. The tour guide was superb, freely sharing exciting local tales and tips, and was very knowledgable about the city's past and present history. We were able to get off at multiple stops with the guide, and there were so many gorgeous vistas and photo-ops along the route! Don't miss this experience, I know Anchorage much more than I did prior to the Trolley Tour experience, and we even were able to see a moose after not seeing any fauna throughout the rest of our vacation!
