What a great tour! Donna was our guide, and she was a fount of knowledge. As a retired English teacher, she was also a great storyteller. We learned so much about Anchorage and the surrounding areas that we never could have known had we explored on our own. We saw beluga whales! The weather was glorious, and we had a clear view of Denali. Spectacular!!

Donna was just a great tour guide. We started our trip to Anchorage with the 9am deluxe trolley tour. This was a great way to start the trip and have ideas to plan our adventures for the next couple days. Kids said it was one of the highlights of the trip. Donna really personalized the experience with stories of her family and life in Alaska. Highly recommend.

Trolley Tour

Pamela_K, Aug 2026

Terrific adventure - learned a lot about Alaskan history and the earthquake. The guide is what made it - funny, educational and great sense of humor.

Great Anchorage tour

Gerald_B, Aug 2026

Excellent Tour with an excellent guide, Donna, who knew so much about the Anchorage and Alaskan history

Great tour to explore the city

Ayman_S, Aug 2026

We really enjoyed the tour, and John shared lots of great details about Anchorage and its history. He was clearly passionate about the city and its story, which made the tour even more enjoyable

Very interesting and...

Erin_H, Aug 2026

Very interesting and entertaining. Nonstop facts about the history of Anchorage and lots of stories about the people of the town.

Amazing!

tracy_m, Aug 2026

Donna our guide was absolutely amazing!!! It was very informative and loved learning the history of anchorage!

Interesting

Paddywagon4217, Aug 2026

Great driver/ guide! Thanks John. Lots of interesting stories to share! Very easy to hear these tales!

Mediocre experience

Shadeya_N, Aug 2026

There was not much history or culture talk. More about the 1964 earthquake and the drivers personal experiences. I would do this again but would want a different driver.

Don’t do it

Anne_G, Aug 2026

Don’t do it, #1- no info on arts and native population #2-stop the sexist jokes , became tiresome #3- fill the 2 hours with actual sightseeing , not stopping in front of underground house for 15 minutes and telling us your personal history

Anchorage Trolley Tour

Tereasa_H, Aug 2026

Very entertaining experience. Learned about the Anchorage history and the earthquake. I definitely recommend this tour.

Completely Disappointed

Kaitlyn_E, Aug 2026

They advertise there is a/c, but there is not. The tour guide talked about his upbringing and relationships with family members the whole way as a way to talk about life in Alaska rather than provide details about Anchorage/Alaska. I would never recommend this tour.

Excellent experience.

Rebecca_R, Aug 2026

John ran our trolley tour. He was excellent, very cheerful and informative.! Even though we didn’t see a bear or a moose, it was a great start. I’d recommend it your first day.

First Timers

SUSAN_G, Aug 2026

Our driver Prince made the tour very enjoyable and informative. He could be on American Idol, the voice of an Angel. The tour 1.5 hours was just long enough to get a sense of Anchorage.

Good, but not as expected

Kathy_O, Aug 2026

While historical, the information about the high school wasn't as pertinent to learning about Anchorage. We had trouble hearing in the back. Enjoyed the stops to get out and explore or have a photo shoot.

Full of history and local...

Ann_M, Aug 2026

Full of history and local color stories. Donna was engaging from the beginning and a wealth of knowledge Absolutely worth it!

Great Tour trolley can be hot.

James_H, Aug 2026

Excellent tour. Lots of great information. Nice to get off the trolley for walk arounds. The day we went was 68F and sunny. Inside the trolley was hot many people left windows closed. Dress in layers in case you need to cool off. Seats were fairly hard, bring a cushion if you have sensitivity. Lots of good food and shopping near pickup. Also crowded and unsavory people there, be careful.

Quick overview

Malathi_C, Aug 2026

We did this on our first morning there. It gave us a quick lay of the land so we could explore more later on during our trip. The driver/guide was funny and informative. He made the tour fun and pleasant.

Amazing

patu999, Aug 2026

So much fun and extremely informative! Donna’s personal knowledge and experiences gave us a tremendous insight into Alaska’s everyday life. She is a born storyteller and I could have listened to her all day!

Amanda_P, Aug 2026

Was fun and the attendant was very knowledgeable about the city. He cracked jokes and kept us all entertained!

Donna delivers again.

Sharon_R, Aug 2026

If you've never been to Alaska, this tour was very informative and fun. Our guide, Donna, had so much personal knowledge of Anchorage and Alaskan wildlife in general, it was amazing. She injected subtle humor in everything. We were a party of 6 and thoroughly enjoyed this tour. All the reviews I read about Donna were true. She is an incredible source of knowledge, history and personality. Very engaging with the crowd.

Best Ever Guide and Tour!

Carolyn_A, Aug 2026

Our driver John was very knowledgeable and made the tour a fun experience as well as informative. Glad we booked as wouldn’t have seen as much of the city without hiring a car.

If you have extra time...

Beth_S, Aug 2026

If you have extra time this is a good trip to get an overview of Anchorage’s history. Donna was great! She was very informative and fun.

The perfect introduction to Anchorage

Kelli_C, Aug 2026

If you are lucky enough to have Donna as your guide you are in for a treat! Her local and general knowledge are excellent and we learnt so much. Highly recommend!
