It was awesome! Definitely recommend this tour provider. Our tour guide/driver, Don, was very friendly and super nice. He made the trip a great experience by sharing the history of Alaska and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed the trip. Truly enjoyed each stop along the way to Anchorage.

Great way to see everything on way to ANC

Response from Host, Aug 2026
Ruth,
What a gracious thought to share. Thank you! Choosing Welcome Anchorage means you are going to be "looked after." Our guides take the time to make sure you feel seen and heard. Safe travels.

Don was PHENOMENAL and made the entire day so much fun! It was the perfect balance of driving and adventure. The glacier hike was amazing and all the stops along the way were great. This was the perfect was for our group of 6 adults to get to Anchorage from Seward. Would recommend this to anyone!

Even though the weather was overcast and a bit of a drizzle., the scenery from Seward to Anchorage is some of the best I’ve seen in Alaska. The driver was friendly and informative. There should’ve been a microphone so we could hear her more clearly. She went out of her way to help find accommodations for two couples whose flights were canceled. She also took plenty of time to show us the sights.
Laura_M, Jul 2026
Wonderful history of Alaska.
Got to see a moose.
Checked out restaurants and museums.
Would do this tour again.
John_I, Jul 2026
Don was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable on all things Alaska and more. We had a bad weather day and he modified the tour to fit what we could do. He did not rush us. Highly recommend this tour.
Heather_P, Jul 2026
Christopher and Dustan were amazing. We had the worst cloudy and rainy weather but they still made the most of it. Both knew so much about Alaska and all the things we saw. Lunch was great and seeing the animals were a perfect highlight. Thankyou for a great day
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Heather. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. You are right. It was the worst weather yesterday! So glad they were able to make the best of it for you all! Warm Regards, James
Silvia_D, Jul 2026
The transfer was great! On time and highly informative with stops at animal rescue and glacier! Would have preferred more food options but understand that time was tight with full day of activities. Thank you for your attention to our large group!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so so much for choosing our tour and sharing your experience. Appreciate the feedback on the lunch option. So glad you enjoyed the animal rescue and the glacier walk! Hope you remember Alaska fondly and we're able to see you again! Cheers, Jen
Jennifer_P, Jul 2026
This is the best way to get from Seward to Anchorage! The communication was fantastic and we were picked up at our hotel. We went on a short hike to a glacier and had lunch on the way to the Wildlife Conservation Center, which is the highlight of the trip! Our tour guide was fantastic! Highly recommend!!
Peter_A, Jul 2026
Great way to get between Seward and Anchorage. Our driver seemed to really care on making sure we got to see everything and no one felt rushed. Beautiful hike, drive, and overall views. We got to see a little bit of everything between wildlife, glaciers, and small towns.

A relaxed drive to Anchorage. The driver/guide, Elizabeth, was friendly & knowledgeable. My only complaint is about the Alaska Conservation Center. The signage is very poor. They need posted maps so guests know which trail to take to see the animals they wish to see.
That said, it was great to see the black & brown bears, the moose, reindeer & musk ox.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the kind words about Elizabeth. She's a wonderful guide, and we're glad the drive to Anchorage was a relaxing one. It's great to hear you got to see the black and brown bears, moose, reindeer, and musk ox at the Alaska Conservation Center.
We're happy to pass your feedback on to the Alaska Conservation Center so future guests have an easier time navigating the trails to find the animals they're most excited to see.
Thanks again for traveling with us, and we hope to see you on another Alaska trip soon!
Warm regards,
James and Jen

Six of us were picked up right on time at our cruise ship dock. Elizabeth was knowledgeable, funny and we all had a great time with her. Saw some wildlife, beautiful scenery and had lunch at a wonderful restaurant. She dropped us at our hotel in Anchorage. All that and just a little more expensive than taking the train.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing this! We're so glad your group of six had a smooth, on-time pickup right at the dock, and that Elizabeth's mix of knowledge and humor made the ride memorable. It's great to hear the wildlife sightings, scenery, and lunch stop all came together for a great day on the way into Anchorage.
We also appreciate you weighing the value against the train — we think the door-to-door service, flexibility, and personal guide experience are worth the difference, and we're glad it felt that way for your group too.
Thanks again for traveling with us, and we hope to see you on another Alaska adventure!
Warm regards,
James and Jen

This is an excellent, stress free way to travel from the cruise port to Anchorage. Our guide was friendly and shared background information on what we were seeing on the way. The restaurant we stopped at was great and had delicious homemade food. We recommend this to anyone seeking a more intimate option over cruise ship transfers.

Great Tour. Our tour guide, Riley, was very nice and stopped often for pictures. The views were wonderful and we had a nice lunch at a local restaurant.
Kurt_O, Jun 2026
Great experience- would recommend another option/location for lunch stop as I would have preferred less time for lunch and more time at the wildlife park!
Twila_M, Jun 2026
Riley was our guide from Seward to Anchorage after leaving our 8 day cruise. She was absolutely amazing! She gave helpful information about Alaska. She had a wide span of knowledge about the entire area. If ever traveling around the area, she would be who I want to guide me.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Twila. Thanks so much for choosing our Tour. So glad you enjoyed the day! We'll definitely pass along the kind words to Riley. Also appreciate your taking the time to share your experience! We hope to see you in Alaska again.

Davis was a great guide. Lots of information and fun. Tour stops at lots of cool places I enjoyed it
Robert_F, Jun 2026
Was a fantastic trip from sewer to Anchorage with lots of sites to see. Davis was excellent, he was knowledgeable, easy-going, and seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. He took us to a great restaurant in Girdwood for lunch. The Van was roomie and very comfortable with large windows, which is good for anybody that might get carsick. We took a short low impact walk by the river that was very nice. Seems a bit pricey however you really get a really nice day Journey and it got us to the airport right around 5 o’clock which we were the last ones to be dropped off by request because our flight was at 8 PM so it was just a perfect way to spend the day. We had an outstanding journey on Viking cruise line and this really was a fantastic finish. Pick up in Seward at the cruise ship terminal was so incredibly easy and it was really nice because all of their vans had separate luggage trailer tows so everything was nice and roomy in the van.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Robert- Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We specifically curated our Seward to Anchorage Tour for exactly this reason- To make the often last day of our guests time in Alaska, one of the best! Appreciate your kudos for Davis. We'll pass them along as well. Thanks again for choosing Welcome Anchorage Tours. James

We had great fun with Don. He’s very knowledgeable and professional in discharging his duties A careful driver. Due to the ever changing weather conditions, he offered us some options. This tour is highly recommended as a post cruise excursion from Seward to Anchorage airport.
David_C, Jun 2026
Chris was very client-centric and reached out to us in the morning telling us when he would arrive to fetch us and told us in advance how he was going to complete the adventure with us by telling us of all the stops he had planned for that day. And he achieved everything he told us about! Absolutely marvellous!
UNLVChelle00, May 2026
Really smooth pick up followed by a great tour. Christopher was an excellent guide who was patient and thoughtful about his charges and sightseeing stops.
Patricia_B, May 2026
The tour group was very good at communicating the plan of pickup! They were on time, the driver, Don, was so nice and very knowledgeable! We had a great day and Don was the reason this tour was so exceptional!!

Our port had changed mid cruise but Aime was a blessing. She communicated with me several times and put me at ease. Was there at the port, helped with our bags and was a delight! She was very knowledgeable and provided great info.
Response from Host, May 2026
We agree- Amie is 100% a blessing :) So glad she took good care of you./ Thank you so much for choosing our tour and taking the time to share you review. It means the world to us. Thank you again so much for sharing your experience. Hope to see you in Alaska again some day! Best, James and Jen
Corinne_B, Oct 2025
This transfer tour was incredible! Even though it was a rainy overcast day, we saw so much! We really enjoyed getting to see Seward before we left it and then so many places along to way.. the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center being our favorite.😊 Our driver Shawn was so knowledgeable and super considerate & nice! He handled everything in such a professional way and made sure we were all comfortable. He drove us all around Anchorage at our request, before he dropped each of us off to our desired hotel. We really enjoyed seeing the seaplane airport, it was unbelievably monstrous in size and so fascinating!! It was wonderful to see so much of the downtown area too.
We definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has time to spend before heading home from their cruise. It's a great tour company with good communication that makes you feel confident and aware. Thank you so much for adding so much to our Alaskan experience!❤️
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Corinne, Thank you so very much, You are so kind to share. It means the world to us!

Was an amazing and beautiful way to get from Seward to Anchorage. It was a small group which was perfect!
Julie_R, Sep 2025
James was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed our ride from Seward to Anchorage with stopping along the way for attractions, scenic vantage points and our lunch stop in Girdwood. I would highly recommend this tour if you don't want to be on a crowded train or bus from Seward to Anchorage.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Julie- Thanks so much for choosing our Seward to Anchorage Tour. We appreciate your taking the time to share your review as well.
Meredith_W, Sep 2025
It is so worth it! You get to relax and take in all the sites, your guide will tell you about anything you can think to ask! We happened to be the only two that booked the tour for the day and so it became like a private tour with just the guide and us!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Meredith. Those surprise private tours are the best. So glad you had a great day! Cheers, James
Eric_O, Aug 2025
This is the perfect way to spend the day as tourists between Seward and Anchorage. We exited our cruise ship at 9:00 AM and had a full day until 9:00 PM to fly home. The excellent tour filled the time with nature hikes, viewing a glacier, a wildlife sanctuary and much more. Stops were plentiful (including for bathroom breaks) and the van was spacious and comfortable. I even took a 40 minute nap! Would recommend.
