Earthquake Park was a stark reminder of the power of the earthquake and the view from Chugach State Park was a great way to see where all of the places we had visited fit together. Jonathan was an awesome guide!

Everything about this was wonderful! John was very knowledgeable if so many aspects of Alaska. Having never been before, was able to learn about the Earthquakes, the private airplanes, the mountains, it was awesome. He was able to personalize the trip to what I was interested in seeing.

Our tour would not have been as exceptional as it was if it had not been for our guide Steven H. He was friendly, flexible, a wealth of knowledge and facts about Alaska, Anchorage and all the sites. We took pages and pages of notes and photos. This was our first tour upon arriving in Alaska and was a great kick-off to our week. We know so much more because of Steven and this tour. Many thanks for a great day. K&J
Response from Host, Sept 2021
Amazing! We're thrilled you enjoyed our Anchorage Private Sightseeing Tour with Steven H. We love sharing the unique and fascinating history of Anchorage and Alaska. Thank you for sharing your experience!
April_M, Aug 2021
Don't be misguided by the "city tour" description with this tour. The city of Anchorage does have some great things to see and we learned a lot. However, we spent plenty of time just outside the downtown/midtown area and saw some beautiful sites. Our tour guide John was very professional and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. This is a tour worth doing.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are grateful for your visit to Alaska and for booking with us. Our guides are knowledgeable and take pride in what they do and share with our visitors. We're so happy that you enjoyed your tour. Many thanks!

We loved seeing the salmon, our first moose sighting, learning about the 1965 earthquake, and going to Flattop Mountain. The scenery was stunning and our guide a walking encyclopedia

Bill was a great guide. His passion for Anchorage really came through. We got a sense of the history of the place & an appreciation of the fabulous countryside. We also saw Beluga whales! All in all if you only have a few hours in Anchorage this is an excellent way to spend an afternoon or evening.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
That's so great you got to see Beluga whales! We are so glad you had a great time on our Private Anchorage 3 Hour Tour. Thanks for sharing!

We only had half a day in Anchorage so decided to take this private tour. Orion met us and gave us even a better tour of Anchorage than we anticipated. He was not only fabulous, friendly, knowledgeable, catered to our interests, and showed the entire area, but made the time fly. We had a great time and everyone should take this tour for a fabulous overview of the city and area.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
Thank you for sharing! We love when we exceed expectations, and show our guests a truly unique and catered experience while here in the beautiful Anchorage, Alaska!

Amber picked us up at the cruise ship shuttle drop off in downtown Anchorage;on time and clearly identified. We covered a lot of ground seeing historical sights as well as scenic vistas. Amber was well informed and shared her enthusiasm of the Anchorage lifestyle with us. Plenty of stops for pictures and refreshments if we wanted. Well worth the money.
