Django_Q, Jun 2026
The tour was amazing. Vao was incredible. She was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. I stayed at the Hilton and the location of the office is across the street. It was very convenient and with also had a wonderful coffee shop. If I go back to Anchorage, . I will definitely go back to this tour again with friends and family.

Stops are at overpriced tourist traps. Guide was not that knowledgeable and not a native Alaskan, Did not really answer questions. Seating in the van was crammed, hot, and uncomfortable, piling in and out. There is really not much to see in Anchorage. Includes a stop to see the runway take off and landing area at the airport and the FedEx building? Wow....thanks but I get to see that twice on a trip for free. Your best to spend your money on other more longer tours out the Turnagain Arm, Portage Lake, AWCC, glaciers which are well worth it. If your just trying to kill some time for a day, as I was, take a visit to the Anchorage museum and have lunch somewhere.

Suanne_A, Jun 2026
Great day to be on tour in Anchorage. We hit all the hot spots, scenic overlooks and had two tastings. Bao was great!
John_B, May 2026
We choose the tour for the sausage tasting... And was provided with a deli tray in airport lot. Not the same experience as was expected. Not much information was provided.. ex. No tour at the Ulu plant. More city history ex. Captain Cook and a discussion on the city itself ex. City hall would be places of interest on a city tour. She didn't set expectations for for time and guest took advantage and dawdled so the end of the tour was rushed.
Tour guide was energetic and friendly.
Christy_J, May 2026
Did not start off well by telling us that the location that offered the salmon and reindeer tasting is closed on Saturdays. Nine people were upset because we could’ve done a different city tour, but they went and found some at a grocery store and we ate it on one of our stops. We did get to see interesting things so it was worth the ride around.
Mike_G, May 2026
Voa did a great job. Made the tour informative, fun and engaging. Good balance of shopping speciality store and facts about Anchorage.
Lillian_F, May 2026
Melissa was terrific! Such a pleasure to spend the day with. She really went really went out of her way to make sure everyone was having a good time. The itinerary was fun. A great mix of scenic views, learning about Alaska and experiencing authentic Alaska tastes and sites. Highly recommend it.
Arthur_M, May 2026
Salmon was excellent.. just tiny chunks of salmon and the sausages.. tour guild (Bao) was very good.
Kirsten_L, May 2026
Our guide was kind and friendly, but she did not have very much deep-seeded knowledge on Anchorage, and the tour left much to be desired. First, the tour is titled "Taste of Wild Smoked Salmon & Reindeer Sausage," but the company booked our tour on a day when the Salmon and Reindeer sausage location was closed. With this title, it was a focal point of the tour, so scheduling the tour when this tasting is most certainly unavailable is deceiving to say the least. Everyone on our tour expressed considerable disappointment with this information upon our arrival to the meeting point. We should have been provided this information prior to the tour AND with the option to cancel the tour with a full refund because of it. But, alas, we were not informed. Thus, because the tour missed this key, integral part, the tour guide had to "fill time," and to do so, one of the places she took us was to the Anchorage Airport to see planes take off (really?? Next!) and also to a Floatplane storage area (again, really??) This tour definitely disappointed, and sadly, I can't say I would recommend it.

Val, the guide, was perfectly fine. We thought Anchorage had more to offer and see, so we were a bit disappointed.
Teresa_W, May 2026
It was a small group of 14 which was nice. Our driver/tour guide, Vao, was wonderful.
The stops for photos were beautiful, the tastings were yummy, & we saw 2 moose!
wytwter, May 2026
Our guide Val was pleasant and told us a lot about local life in Anchorage. She did a good job not making anyone feel rushed and answered all our questions fun tour we saw moose
geraldine_E, May 2026
Fun way of seeing anchorage in a condensed tour. The guide was fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the salmon tasting ! Would recommend
Karen_K, May 2026
Melissa gave a good tour of Anchorage and we got to see 5 moose! Wish we could’ve gotten out at Earthquake park. Couldn’t see much from the van. We specifically chose this tour b/c it included reindeer sausage and smoked salmon samples but this place is closed on Saturdays. Someone should have caught this. Very disappointed.
Linda_A, Apr 2026
Wonderful experience Melissa the driver was so pleasant and knowledgeable. Mountains were beautiful even saw Denali.
Rubie_D, Mar 2026
Customer service was was 100 out 10! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We visited about 10 different local shops and was able to see what Alaska is all about.
MARK_S, Mar 2026
Delicious food and great sights. Your guide was knowledgeable and was extremely adaptive to what the group wanted to see
Kellie_W, Mar 2026
Frequent stops around the city and a nice drive out to Beluga Point.
You get a short look at several places so you can see what you may want to focus on later.
Stella_g, Mar 2026
Mrs Vao was incredible knowledgeable, kind, honest and generous. Sometimes we enjoy more the journey if we have some city history and interesting points
Whitney_S, Mar 2026
The tour is just as described. My tour guide was friendly. I enjoyed the smoked sausage, salmon, and halibut samples.
Melissa_H, Feb 2026
Our tour guide (Vao) was wonderful, personable and fun! Enjoyed learning about Earthquake park and the tasting at the Alaska Sausage and Seafood store.
Toney_R, Feb 2026
Melissa was great as we had the luxury of having a Native, Inuit not only show us the history about the places but her own personal stories which was so rare to have. Our experience, also being Native Hawaiians made it more relevant and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, delicious food tastings and rare moose sighting!
Rose_M, Feb 2026
Melissa, out Guide was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.
petebr777, Jan 2026
This tour stayed in Anchorage and took you to Anchorage points of interest. The guide was very good and the stops are for products that are worth getting. Purchases are optional. I really liked the smoked salmon and the chocolate.
Jan_K, Jan 2026
Great experience with a great guide, we had time to explore and shop which was great and made some good purchases.
Tine_C, Dec 2025
Donna was a great guide, very knowledgeable and engaging.
Unfortunately a few of the scheduled stops were closed for Christmas, the ulo factory and the salmon tasting which we had been looking forward to so not super happy about this, but still will give 5 stars because of Donna.
