This experience was wonderful. Such a beautiful route to travel and so many stops to enjoy. Truly the very best tour/transfer available. Our guide Corey was outstanding. He made sure we experienced everything and took us to all the best spots. He was very fun and knowledgeable of both the area and the history. He took great care to be sure we had a wonderful experience. The company providing this tour, Welcome Anchorage is exceptional and offers the perfect experiences. The owners and guides make sure the clients receive once in a lifetime experience. Out guide Corey made this tour a lifetime memory. I highly recommend this tour/transfer and company and guide. They do ALL things right.

Viator is not the reliable company that is stayed. The head company Welcome Alaska or Welcome Anchorage had to cover the reservation, as Viator did not show up for the reservation. H did a wonderful job of showing us all of the places and spaces that she loves between Anchorage and Seward. They were a godsend
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Carol- I'm the one that got to talk to you on the phone. I am so so glad we were able to cover your tour and you weren't stranded by the other company. We all agree H is a Godsend for sure. Hope the rest of your trip goes amazing and you have great memories of Alaska!

Lots of fun with our guide “H” and our new friends from Louisiana! Bald eagle, clam chowder, hiked Byron Glazier and Virgin Creek Falls and a wild life preserve. A full day!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Paul. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your review. It's so appreciated! We passed on the kind words to H :)

Rick was an excellent guide! Flexible, knowledgeable, and tons of fun. We had a beautiful, sunny day and we had the option to stray a little from the itinerary so we could see Denali. What a beautiful sight! Thanks, Rick, for a wonderful day!

Even though our trio from Anchorage to Seward was rainy we still were able to see beauty.
Christian, our driver, was kind to stop and direct our attention to areas that we desired to see.
We took this drive as opposed to the train and I am super glad as we were able to stop along the way to really take in the beauty.
We enjoyed our trip in a very nice van.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Greg- Thank you for sharing your day with us and your kind review. It's always a little challenging with pouring rain, but so glad you had a great experience. Warm Regards, James

The Alaska Wildlife Center was very interesting. Our operator was very knowledgeable about Alaska and very amiable. Stops at Turnagain Arm and a glacial lake were very interesting.

Cortney was such a joy and a great tour guide to get us from Anchorage to Seward. Her knowledge of and passion about Alaska came through in every stop. The vehicle and trailer made transporting all six of us and our luggage very easy.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thanks so much Kim for sharing your review. - Means a ton to us for sure. Will pass on the wonderful sentiments to Cortney as well. James
Amber_T, May 2024
There are not enough words to share how amazing Courtney was. We would all book her again and wish she’d be our guide for every vacation. She was attentive to ensuring we saw what was important to us, she was incredibly knowledgeable, and she made the trip fun. She helped us ensure we got great pics and even had snacks and water for us. I can’t stress enough how amazing she was and the detailed care she put into ensuring we all had a great outcome.
Response from Host, May 2024
Amber- Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It is deeply appreciated. We will pass on your remarks to Cortney. I know it will mean alot to her, as she loves showing off Alaska :)
Mike_M, May 2024
James was amazing!!! What an incredible way to start our vacation. Great tour and got us to the ship in the most comfortable way. We weren't crowded on a bus or train with hundreds of people, definitely the way i would transfer again.
Response from Host, May 2024

Best way to travel to Seward! The drive was beautiful and each stop provided a unique opportunity to see Alaska. It was a rainy cold day but the van was very comfortable and cozy. Caleb was a great driver and tour guide! We had time to enjoy the sights without being rushed.
Response from Host, May 2024
