Vinnie was our guide on this one hour tour of Anchorage. He made it fun and educational! Sharing some personal stories enhanced the experience.

We had the best time on a one-hour city tour with Alice as our guide! She made downtown Anchorage, Alaska come alive with fascinating history, local stories, and just the right amount of humor.
The tour was fun, educational, and the perfect introduction to the area—but Alice is what made it truly worth every penny. Her knowledge was incredible, and her singing? Absolutely top-notch! 🎶 If you get the chance to tour with her, don’t miss it!

Great overview of the city. Our Tour Guide, Alice, was hilarious! Great songs, corny jokes, puns and all. If you don't like cheesy, you may not like this. Even with all the jokes, she was very knowledgeable about Anchorage and was serious when things like the 1964 earthquake were discussed. She even took us out of the way to see a moose….alas they had moved on by then. Great if you are crunched for time but would like to hit the highlights!

Perfect one hour tour of anchorage! Lots of great facts and even more humor. We enjoyed getting out of the trolley a couple times for pictures. Our guide was a hoot! I’m sorry I forgot her name.

Ty was an excellent guide. Fun and knowledgeable. Would recommend for a way to get around and see the city of Anchorage.
Clara_H, Jul 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide Matt did an excellent job of providing a lot of interesting background of the area and various points of interest. Our only disappointment was that this was supposed to be a 1-hour but it only lasted about 45-min from boarding to return to the starting point.
Sarah_T, Jul 2026
The guide was fantastic! He really knew his stuff, plus he will even sing for you. Thanks Ty! We really enjoyed our trolley ride.

Lots of great local information for the adults. Ride was just long enough with kids ages 2-11. They didn't understand a lot of what was being talked about but the idea of being on a trolley was cool!
