Cindy_B, Jun 2026
Stay alert for Moises. Learn about the history of anchorage’s name and origin. Loved the tour with my family.

Great city tour

Ruth_E, Jun 2026
Very information, engaging, and entertaining. Cyrus was great! Throughly enjoyed this tour and the guide

Anchorage sights near downtown

Ngoc_T, Jun 2026
Tour guide was enthusiastic and projected a good voice for all to hear on the trolly. Definitely better to sit on the right side. I wouldn't say I would do it again but if you are traveling with someone with mobility issues and can not walk, this is a good option. You see 5 to 7 sights, 2 hour in duration, don't get out of trolley.

A very good "lay of the land" tour to get to know Anchorage. Great tour if you've never been here before. Our driver was great about stopping along Earthquake Park just in case there was a moose, but there wasn't that day, but he tried! Nice tour.

Highly recommended!

We were the last on the trolley, so sat in the very back seat, but still had great views out the window. Nothing blocked. Cyrus was a hoot, and the information he shared about Anchorage was fascinating! Highly recommend if coming into town. It’s an enjoyable way to spend an hour.

Not able to take pictures...
