This was our first visit to Alaska and I'm so glad we found this trolley tour in downtown near our hotel! The trolley itself is quaint with windows all around so you could see almost everything from any seat.
Our tour guide was Ace and he was so knowledgeable about the area and passionate about the city's history. His humor kept our attention the whole time and I really appreciate a guide who knows how to keep their audience engaged.
I highly recommend taking this kind of tour around the city. Whenever we come back, we'll do it again!

Alice was an outstanding driver and guide. She’s so engaging and she made the tour extra special with her songs and humor. Others have told us their drivers were also quite entertaining. We did the one-hour tour but I wished we’d done the two hour, it was so much fun. Plus, we learned a lot about Anchorage and I want now to learn more!

Great overview of the city when we first arrived. We saw moose and learned about the history of anchorage including the 1964 earthquake.

Although this ride isn’t in much of downtown Anchorage, it gives a good overview of the history of the city and its surrounding areas. And if you are fortunate to get Ty as your guide, he’ll make the ride even better.

Wonderful experience! So much information given, in a fun manner. History was never my favorite subject, but this subject was fascinating

Very information, engaging, and entertaining. Cyrus was great! Throughly enjoyed this tour and the guide
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.
Debra_K, May 2026
Humorous driver. While we did learn a few odd tidbits, not completely sold on the value of this tour.

Our tour person was fabulous and also the driver. Very articulate and interesting , and even sang to us.
Lydia_B, May 2026
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.

Juliette_B, May 2026
Learned a lot of really cool facts about Anchorage's history, environment, the animals that live here and about the people.
Anna_B, May 2026
It was enclosed so we stayed warm. You get to see and hear about places around Anchorage that you wouldn’t otherwise get to learn about.
Kanika_B, May 2026
The tour guide (from GA) did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was great seeing moose, seeing the underground house, and hearing historical stories!
