Five star experience. Henry called when we landed to greet us and inform us of the meeting location. The van was perfect and easily handled all of our luggage. He had waters for everyone. He was informative and accommodating and made the journey to Seward a great experience. Highly recommend your services, especially Henry as a driver.

We had Henry and he was a safe and informative driver. The car was neat and clean and comfortable. He stayed in contact with us when we arrived so we found him very easily at the airport on our arrival.

Cruise transfer disaster.

jason_w, Aug 2025

Our transfer was cancelled 18 hours before as we were flying to our cruise. We had to make other arrangements at significant cost. Viator was unable to help us. I was put on hold and passed around and had to call back. Then they had to check with the operator who cancelled to even refund our money.

John_H, Jul 2024

Our driver-tour guide was fabulous. Michelle drove safely and was lovely to give us the low down on much of the terrain and history that we drove through. Would give more stars if we could! Great way to start our trip! Thank you.

Kathy_g, May 2024

Rick was great! Easily met him outside of baggage claim. And, what a better tour guide than a history teacher!! As we drove along, he pointed out interesting sites and we talked about Alaska. So very interesting! We were even able to make a few stops for photos. I would highly recommend.

Cut Viator out of your transfer plans and contact a local transfer company directly

Michael_M, Sep 2023

We got picked up at the right time and place and we got where we were going on time. Our driver Michelle was a delight. I don't understand why I paid so much ($800+). Other members of our party called Michelle's company directly and they were able to transport them back to Anchorage for around $300. I am also unhappy with the way your service works. I contacted Viator, then found out the transfer was handled by Carmello. Then later found out it was handled by the company Michelle worked for. Why all the middle men?

Extraordinary Service

Dana_R, Aug 2023

On July 27 I landed in Anchorage with my elderly mother to discover that our luggage had been lost by the airline. Many thanks to Brent offered to drive us to the mall early on the day of our scheduled trip. Not only did Brent offer a trip to the mall, he returned, picked us up and drove us back to our hotel. Then Rick drove us to Seward to meet up with our cruise ship. Brent's incredible kindness will long be remembered as will Rick's humorous and informative narrative and safe driving all the way to Seward. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. - Dana & Jean

The driver, from a third party...

DAVID C, Jul 2017

The driver, from a third party contractor to Viator, was very good and we ordered a sedan but they sent a limo so that was nice. I think the company name was Carmel and I would recommend them highly. Other than that though the experience was terrible. The selected trip was on the Viator menu list so I thought this was routine for them. I decided to call to make arrangements and it was obvious he didn't know much about this trip. I repeated that this was one that was on the Viator menu so why don't you know the details. Finally got it all taken care of, I thought. The day before the trip I got a call for confirmation and it was obvious this guy knew even less and I had to repeat in the info I provided earlier when I arranged for the car. He asked if Seward was very close to Anchorage. I said no, that it was 130 miles away. Again I pointed out that this was a trip I selected from the Viator menu so I expected him to know this. He said he was in New York and didn't know anything about Alaska. When I ordered the car I made arrangements to be picked up at our hotel. This guy said no he couldn't do that because they only do pickups at the airport. So we were forced to take the hotel shuttle back to the airport. The driver was surprised because his work order was to pick us up at the hotel as originally requested. Unfortunately we had already gone to the airport. The driver said they pickup from hotels all the time. Also Anchorage/Seward trip was something he does 8 - 10/week. His company is a third party to Viator. I don't know what the Viator's cut was of out total cost but whatever it was it was too much because they added very little value.

some concern prior to pickup because while we had reserved a limo we were told one might not be available. But we did get what we expected and the driver was fantastic
