Next, continue to Alaska Sausage and Seafood, where you can sample northern delicacies such as smoked salmon and reindeer sausage. They can pack it for traveling if you want to buy some to take home.

Then, continue to the ULU Factory, where you can watch traditional knives being made and learn how to use a ULU knife and cutting bowl. Finally, complete your tour at the Point Woronzof viewpoint, where you can see the city skyline, Cook Inlet, and the glacier-capped peak of Mt. Denali.

Fun afternoon in Anchorage

Suanne_A, June 2026
Great day to be on tour in Anchorage. We hit all the hot spots, scenic overlooks and had two tastings. Bao was great!

We choose the tour for...

John_B, May 2026
We choose the tour for the sausage tasting... And was provided with a deli tray in airport lot. Not the same experience as was expected. Not much information was provided.. ex. No tour at the Ulu plant. More city history ex. Captain Cook and a discussion on the city itself ex. City hall would be places of interest on a city tour. She didn't set expectations for for time and guest took advantage and dawdled so the end of the tour was rushed. Tour guide was energetic and friendly.

Christy_J, May 2026
Did not start off well by telling us that the location that offered the salmon and reindeer tasting is closed on Saturdays. Nine people were upset because we could’ve done a different city tour, but they went and found some at a grocery store and we ate it on one of our stops. We did get to see interesting things so it was worth the ride around.

Great fin tour

Mike_G, May 2026
Voa did a great job. Made the tour informative, fun and engaging. Good balance of shopping speciality store and facts about Anchorage.

Great day in Anchorage

Lillian_F, May 2026
Melissa was terrific! Such a pleasure to spend the day with. She really went really went out of her way to make sure everyone was having a good time. The itinerary was fun. A great mix of scenic views, learning about Alaska and experiencing authentic Alaska tastes and sites. Highly recommend it.

Very good

Arthur_M, May 2026
Salmon was excellent.. just tiny chunks of salmon and the sausages.. tour guild (Bao) was very good.

Skip this one!

Kirsten_L, May 2026
Our guide was kind and friendly, but she did not have very much deep-seeded knowledge on Anchorage, and the tour left much to be desired. First, the tour is titled "Taste of Wild Smoked Salmon & Reindeer Sausage," but the company booked our tour on a day when the Salmon and Reindeer sausage location was closed. With this title, it was a focal point of the tour, so scheduling the tour when this tasting is most certainly unavailable is deceiving to say the least. Everyone on our tour expressed considerable disappointment with this information upon our arrival to the meeting point. We should have been provided this information prior to the tour AND with the option to cancel the tour with a full refund because of it. But, alas, we were not informed. Thus, because the tour missed this key, integral part, the tour guide had to "fill time," and to do so, one of the places she took us was to the Anchorage Airport to see planes take off (really?? Next!) and also to a Floatplane storage area (again, really??) This tour definitely disappointed, and sadly, I can't say I would recommend it.

Val, the guide, was...

Val, the guide, was perfectly fine. We thought Anchorage had more to offer and see, so we were a bit disappointed.

geraldine_E, May 2026
Fun way of seeing anchorage in a condensed tour. The guide was fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the salmon tasting ! Would recommend

No sausage or salmon 😢

Karen_K, May 2026
Melissa gave a good tour of Anchorage and we got to see 5 moose! Wish we could’ve gotten out at Earthquake park. Couldn’t see much from the van. We specifically chose this tour b/c it included reindeer sausage and smoked salmon samples but this place is closed on Saturdays. Someone should have caught this. Very disappointed.

Frequent stops around the city and a nice drive out to Beluga Point. You get a short look at several places so you can see what you may want to focus on later.

Excellent city tour, it was incredible to seeing the fall market by the earthquake

Our tour guide (Vao) was wonderful, personable and fun! Enjoyed learning about Earthquake park and the tasting at the Alaska Sausage and Seafood store.

Great Alaskan experience!

Toney_R, Feb 2026
Melissa was great as we had the luxury of having a Native, Inuit not only show us the history about the places but her own personal stories which was so rare to have. Our experience, also being Native Hawaiians made it more relevant and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, delicious food tastings and rare moose sighting!

This tour stayed in Anchorage and took you to Anchorage points of interest. The guide was very good and the stops are for products that are worth getting. Purchases are optional. I really liked the smoked salmon and the chocolate.

Time to taste & explore

Great experience with a great guide, we had time to explore and shop which was great and made some good purchases.

Interesting city tour

Tine_C, Dec 2025
Donna was a great guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. Unfortunately a few of the scheduled stops were closed for Christmas, the ulo factory and the salmon tasting which we had been looking forward to so not super happy about this, but still will give 5 stars because of Donna.

Anchorage City Tour and Tasting.

Carol_S, Nov 2025
Anchorage is a great city. This tour showed me different bodies of water Ship Creek, Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm. And Potter Marsh which is part of Turnagain Arm. We was able to see a moose with her baby. At Alaska Wild Berry and the Alaska Sausage & Seafood. Both shops we was able to taste native food items. I enjoyed the tour it was a lot of fun and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.
