Walk-ups are always welcome! Our Ambassadors are ready at the corner of 4th avenue and F Street (right in front of the Log Cabin Visitor Information Center) to assist you with booking, checking in, and boarding your tour.
To book your Trolley Tour, you can book Online, Call to Book, or book in person.
We get it, life happens! If you need to cancel your booking, just give us the heads-up at least 24 hours before your tour kicks off, and you’re all set for a full refund. But hey, if it slips your mind and you cancel within 24 hours, unfortunately, we won’t be able to refund your payment.
Looking to switch up your plans last minute? No worries, we’ve got your back. If you want to reschedule within 24 hours of your tour, there’s a small rebooking fee of 50% of the total amount paid, on top of what you’ve already put down.
We’ll hold your seats until 10 minutes before the tour starts. If you’re fashionably late or can’t make it, sorry to say, but those seats become fair game for other eager explorers, and no refunds will be issued.
Oh, and heads up – if you’re a no-show, we’ll have to charge you the full price. It’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
Now, if the weather throws us a curveball or something unexpected pops up, don’t sweat it. You’ll either get a full refund or a sweet credit. Just shoot us an email at Book@anchoragetrolley.com, and we’ll sort you out in a jiffy!
No problem! With a three hour minimum notice, we will happily reschedule your tour to a different time.

We do have storage available at the back of each trolley, HOWEVER, space is limited – See below for extra information.
There’s a small area behind the back two seats that can fit a few items – be aware, though, the amount of potential items we can store is limited. Storage availability depends on if the space is already in use, the size of luggage or items, and the type of trolley (some have more or less space available).
Fear not! We have alternate storage options available for special cases. Though we do have room for storage, for your comfort, we encourage guests to drop off luggage or other large and nonessential items back at their hotel or temporary residence before attending their trolley tour.
Storage is limited – “pack light” for your tour! 😄

Where should I sit if I want to open my window?
Ah, embracing your inner photographer, huh? Love it! If you’re itching to crack open that window for the perfect shot, aim for the back panel of the window. Our trolleys boast double-panel windows that slide open from the back to the front. Just a heads-up: each window covers two seat benches, so make sure you’re snagging a spot on the back bench for optimal window action! Happy snapping!
Are your trolleys accessible for wheelchairs, strollers, storage?
We’re all about making your journey as smooth as possible, but unfortunately, our trolleys aren’t wheelchair-accessible. However, if mobility permits, there’s four steps into the trolley and we’re absolutely happy to assist you board and deboard the trolley.
For those with collapsible wheelchairs, strollers, small luggage, or mobility assistance devices, we’ve got you covered!
