We had a great time. Not only did we get a lot of good information about the area, it was also very entertaining. Our tour guide was great! She kept us laughing and engaged the whole trip. Even some of our group that's been in Anchorage for a year found it very educational. We all highly recommend.

We had such a great time on the one hour tour. We were serenaded and shown lots of places and given quite a bit of information about Anchorage and Alaska. Our group of ladies ranging from mid thirties to mid forties thought it was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.

Trolley ride was enjoyable. Driver was friendly and knowledgeable. She pointed out many area highlights. We went back on our own to check out more in depth. Great to fet a lay of the land or if you don't have much time.

Nothing Exciting

A Perfect Introduction to Anchorage, Alaska!

Kim_S, Aug 2026

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!

Vinny Rules!

Vinny is the best!!! Knowledge of Alaska history, current events AND entertaining! Courteous and respectful

Anchorage City Trolley Tour

Nancy_B, Aug 2026

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!

Very entertaining!

Michael_D, Aug 2026

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.

Excellent Tour!

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.
