We had to miss this due to a scheduling conflict but they refunded our cost. We really appreciate this, since these things sometimes happen. We have done a ton of tours through Viator so we appreciate some consideration when needed..

Trolly Tour

Alexis_P, Oct 2025
Great tour! Ian was super fun and informative. Bummed there were no moose out...Ian tried but the moose were not cooperating.

Saw Anchorage Sights!

Judith_F, Oct 2025
It is a great way to see and hear about Anchorage sights without a car. Prince was a great guide- warm and engaging.

Save your money. Use the bus.

Anthony_W, Oct 2025
Guide was fine but we saw more on a municipal bus later on. Good to hear some local history but certainly not one of our better tours and we have been on hundreds in our long experience. First stop was a souvenir shop with a cooking knife display which cost a fortune. (No doubt a little backhander for the guide for any sales). Usual spiel. Second stop an old railway wagon, then the top of a house buried in the ground, and a park where there is a crack from the 1960s earthquake (there is actually nothing to see), then a mural on the side of a school, a drive through the seaplane airport to see a plane taking off woo hoo and lastly a parking lot with a view of the bay and industrial harbour. Very disappointed.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with us didn’t meet your expectations, though we’re glad to know you found your guide to be good. We always appreciate when guests share their honest impressions—it helps us continue improving every season. While our tour is designed to highlight Anchorage’s history and character through a mix of storytelling and local landmarks, we understand that what feels meaningful to one traveler might not resonate the same way with another, especially for those who have been on many tours around the world. We’d also like to assure you that our guides do not receive any form of commission or incentive from the local businesses we visit. Stops like the Ulu Factory are included because they’re a part of Anchorage’s cultural story—showcasing how traditional tools are made and sharing the local craftsmanship that defines our community. We're sorry that our tour wasn’t what you’d hoped for, and we sincerely appreciate you giving us the opportunity to share a bit of Anchorage with you.

We had a great tour...

We had a great tour guide. We loved that there were places we could get off the trolley and take pics, etc. Highly recommend!

Good introductory view of Anchorage

Norma_W, Sep 2025
We had a very good tour of Anchorage. We learned a lot about Anchorage. We had a very good guide. The Ulu factory was interesting, Earthquake park showed the interesting fault line. Loved watching the float plane seaport.

Worth it. Go see more of Anchorage areas.

Amy_T, Sep 2025
Its a great trip with a little of everything included about the area. Gives you the chance to venture outside of downtown shopping area.

Very informational

Michele_H, Sep 2025
A very fun and informative way to get a nice overview of Anchorage in 90 minutes. Be sure to ask for Ace; he was our tour guide/trolley driver and along with his in-depth knowledge, his wit and humor and interaction with the crowd made the tour memorable. The trolley was clean and the ride was comfortable. My wife and I highly recommend this tour for anyone in Anchorage for the first time.

Anchorage away

Lorenzo_V, Sep 2025
Our guide was knowledgeable with very interesting stories to tell and make sure that we saw a moose and we did. Thank you for the good experience and the good stories.

Besides the Ulu factory...

Benjamin_N, Sep 2025
Besides the Ulu factory it was a good tour. The Ulu factory was not worth the time and we could rather have gone somewhere else in that time or walked around together a bit more. To have a overview of Anchorage it's a good tour.

Fascinating history about Anchorage

Mary_W, Sep 2025
It was okay. Not what I expected. It seems like it more targeted for seniors. The bright side is the tour guide had a great sense of humor and very knowledgeable about anchorage. I really enjoy hearing the story about earthquake park. Fascinating!

Highly recommend!!

Driver best part

Great Tour

Kimberly_H, Sep 2025
This activity was really enjoyable. I have lived in Alaska for 30+years and had taken a trolley tour but my sister was up visiting from Arizona and wanted to do it. Jared was a great tour guy and I even learned things about Anchorage I had never heard before.

Good time was had by all 😊

Debbie_S, Sep 2025
