Bravo Ian! He was amazing and made the trip exciting, fun and joyous. He was knowledgeable and funny and treated us like he’d know us for years. We went on the deluxe tour so we can see more and take photos off the trolly. So glad you all were running all year around. Amazing views for photos. Didn’t see any moose but got to see Star the Reindeer which was pretty awesome. We’ll definitely be back!

I highly recommend taking this tour while you're in Anchorage. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable (and funny), the ride itself was smooth and comfortable, and the meetup process was easy! Take a whole bunch of friends or go alone, the experience will be great either way!

This was a wonderful experience sitting in the trolley and going through the different spots of Anchorage. We would not have known the spots and the history behind each place. Our guide Joni was awesome and local so had great stories to share. We even spotted a moose during the ride and the guide was patient with everyone taking pictures.

I loved this excursion! Everyone was so nice and the driver was very entertaining! I learned a lot about the history of Anchorage. My favorite part was visiting Earthquake Park and seeing how the landscape had changed because of the quake. I even got to stand over a fault line. I would highly recommend this excursion!

It was a delightful time with my best friend. We are living in Anchorage for 5 years but we didn't know the beautiful city about. Today we had known about the history and had a lot of funny stories from the wonderful guide who drove too. Thank you very much for sharing your fantastic knowledge.
