Welcome to Alaska

Alaska, north of Canada on the northwest extremity of the Pacific Coast, is the largest U.S. state and one of the youngest, admitted in 1959 as the 49th state. It is the most sparsely populated state by area, and hundreds of thousands of square miles of pristine wilderness are scattered with just a few populated areas and a couple of small cities. Anchorage, the largest city, has a population of about 290,000, and wild mountain wilderness begins just outside the city. Alaskan attractions include breathtakingly remote natural landscapes and incredible wildlife on land and in the sea, many Native American cultures, some of the world’s best fishing, and an endless variety of outdoor activities.

Anchorage Trolley’s 1-Hour City Tour

Forget the Guidebook—Just Ride with Vinny

I expected a trolley tour. What I got was an Italian masterclass in storytelling on wheels. Vinny isn't just a driver—he's the kind of bloke who could make a stop sign sound historically significant. Every landmark came with a story, every street had a reason, and somehow he made Anchorage feel less like a city on a map and more like a place you'd want to call home. The one-hour ride flew by. No dull scripts, no robotic commentary—just genuine passion, local knowledge, and enough personality to keep everyone paying attention. It felt like exploring the city with your hilarious Italian uncle who somehow knows everyone and everything. The pacing was spot on, the facts were fascinating, and Vinny sprinkled in personal stories that made the tour feel authentic rather than rehearsed. You leave with more than photos—you leave understanding Anchorage. If every city tour had a Vinny behind the wheel, I'd actually stop complaining about sightseeing. Absolutely brilliant. Five stars.

Good city tour!

Our guide Kenny is exceptional! He has provided some history facts/trivia along the way while entertaining us with his jokes and life stories. Such a fun tour even if we booked it very last minute. The actual tour itself is good, though it would've been better if u can afford to see the Mendallhall Glacier tour so you can appreciate the glacier up close, as the city tour has the glacier view but its very far.

Denali in a Day Sightseeing Package

Anup_R, Jul 2026

Good experience if you...

Good experience if you dont want to plan everything and see Denali park in a day. Tour starts with pickup at the hotel in a private van, then head off to Denali depot where you are put on the bus to see the wilderness which is a 4.5 hour tour. It also ends with going to 49th state brewery where lunch is covered. Even if you get down and hike at any point during tour, they will pick you up. Goodie bag is provided with snacks and bottle of water included. Binoculars are provided for the tour. I enjoyed it overall

Whittier to Anchorage Half Day Transit Tour From the Port

Elisabeth_P, Jul 2026

Entertaining, informational, and fun!

Dan and Kim were fantastic! Dan's mix of knowledge about the area and personal stories of encountering bears, moose, and other wildlife made the drive enjoyable and entertaining between stops. We also really appreciated that Dan at every picturesque stop offered, or more accurately insisted, on taking photos for everyone so that families and groups had all folks in frame.The stops were a perfect mix of views and local gift shops. The brewery lunch stop was amazing! Will be recommending the tour to anyone coming this way.

Best way to the Glacier

This is the way to go as the local buses drop you off with a mile still to walk to the visitor's center. Easy meeting points and the bus was nice and new.

Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching Tour

Lisa_L, Jul 2026

Great outing — definitely recommend

The Mendenhall glacier visit was great, absolutely beautiful, and the 2 mile walk was the perfect distance to see a beautiful view complete with waterfall. Be sure to climb the steps of the visitor center to get the best view of the glacier. Can’t remember the name of the boat, but it was purple with CJ as the captain. Wonderful experience with a knowledgeable guide and more whale viewing than I would have anticipated.
