I highly recommend taking this tour while you're in Anchorage. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable (and funny), and they were a local Alaskan who was so passionate about Anchorage, it felt like we were getting a tour from a family friend! The ride itself was smooth and comfortable, and the trolley was clean and heated. AND the meetup process was so easy! They check you in super efficiently and are so helpful with any questions about the surrounding area. Take a whole bunch of friends or go alone, the experience will be great either way!
