It was awesome! Definitely recommend this tour provider. Our tour guide/driver, Don, was very friendly and super nice. He made the trip a great experience by sharing the history of Alaska and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed the trip. Truly enjoyed each stop along the way to Anchorage.

Riley was our guide from Seward to Anchorage after leaving our 8 day cruise. She was absolutely amazing! She gave helpful information about Alaska. She had a wide span of knowledge about the entire area. If ever traveling around the area, she would be who I want to guide me.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Davis was a great guide. Lots of information and fun. Tour stops at lots of cool places I enjoyed it
Robert_F, Jun 2026
Was a fantastic trip from sewer to Anchorage with lots of sites to see. Davis was excellent, he was knowledgeable, easy-going, and seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. He took us to a great restaurant in Girdwood for lunch. The Van was roomie and very comfortable with large windows, which is good for anybody that might get carsick. We took a short low impact walk by the river that was very nice. Seems a bit pricey however you really get a really nice day Journey and it got us to the airport right around 5 o’clock which we were the last ones to be dropped off by request because our flight was at 8 PM so it was just a perfect way to spend the day. We had an outstanding journey on Viking cruise line and this really was a fantastic finish. Pick up in Seward at the cruise ship terminal was so incredibly easy and it was really nice because all of their vans had separate luggage trailer tows so everything was nice and roomy in the van.

Robert- Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We specifically curated our Seward to Anchorage Tour for exactly this reason- To make the often last day of our guests time in Alaska, one of the best! Appreciate your kudos for Davis. We'll pass them along as well. Thanks again for choosing Welcome Anchorage Tours. James

We had great fun with Don. He’s very knowledgeable and professional in discharging his duties A careful driver. Due to the ever changing weather conditions, he offered us some options. This tour is highly recommended as a post cruise excursion from Seward to Anchorage airport.
David_C, Jun 2026
Chris was very client-centric and reached out to us in the morning telling us when he would arrive to fetch us and told us in advance how he was going to complete the adventure with us by telling us of all the stops he had planned for that day. And he achieved everything he told us about! Absolutely marvellous!

Really smooth pick up followed by a great tour. Christopher was an excellent guide who was patient and thoughtful about his charges and sightseeing stops.

Our port had changed mid cruise but Aime was a blessing. She communicated with me several times and put me at ease. Was there at the port, helped with our bags and was a delight! She was very knowledgeable and provided great info.
Response from Host, May 2026

This transfer tour was incredible! Even though it was a rainy overcast day, we saw so much! We really enjoyed getting to see Seward before we left it and then so many places along to way.. the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center being our favorite.😊 Our driver Shawn was so knowledgeable and super considerate & nice! He handled everything in such a professional way and made sure we were all comfortable. He drove us all around Anchorage at our request, before he dropped each of us off to our desired hotel. We really enjoyed seeing the seaplane airport, it was unbelievably monstrous in size and so fascinating!! It was wonderful to see so much of the downtown area too.
We definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has time to spend before heading home from their cruise. It's a great tour company with good communication that makes you feel confident and aware. Thank you so much for adding so much to our Alaskan experience!❤️
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Corinne, Thank you so very much, You are so kind to share. It means the world to us!

Was an amazing and beautiful way to get from Seward to Anchorage. It was a small group which was perfect!
Julie_R, Sep 2025
James was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed our ride from Seward to Anchorage with stopping along the way for attractions, scenic vantage points and our lunch stop in Girdwood. I would highly recommend this tour if you don't want to be on a crowded train or bus from Seward to Anchorage.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Julie- Thanks so much for choosing our Seward to Anchorage Tour. We appreciate your taking the time to share your review as well.
Meredith_W, Sep 2025
It is so worth it! You get to relax and take in all the sites, your guide will tell you about anything you can think to ask! We happened to be the only two that booked the tour for the day and so it became like a private tour with just the guide and us!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Meredith. Those surprise private tours are the best. So glad you had a great day! Cheers, James
Eric_O, Aug 2025
This is the perfect way to spend the day as tourists between Seward and Anchorage. We exited our cruise ship at 9:00 AM and had a full day until 9:00 PM to fly home. The excellent tour filled the time with nature hikes, viewing a glacier, a wildlife sanctuary and much more. Stops were plentiful (including for bathroom breaks) and the van was spacious and comfortable. I even took a 40 minute nap! Would recommend.

They will see beautiful glaciers and mountains and plenty of wildlife. Plenty of restrooms along the way.
Whittier was wonderful and great lakeside dining experience there.

Frank. Thanks so much for your kind review. It is truly appreciated :) We'll pass on the kind words to Brooks as well. Best, James
Alice_S, Aug 2025
We booked this trip as a way to independently get from our ship to Anchorage. We traveled in a comfortable van with 10 people (attached trailer held luggage). Beautiful drive with stop at Alaskan Wildlife conservation center, lunch, and commentary from our driver/tour host (Cory). For most part, worked well bearing in mind we it was 6.5 hours. Visit to Wildlife Center was awesome!!! Congenial group with knowledgeable and happy host.
Rico_D, Aug 2025
Very knowledgeable tour guide. Pleasant trip with good scenery. The lunch stop restaurant had good food. Lunch process was well organized to keep us on time with the schedule for driving back through the Whittier tunnel.
JACK_K, Aug 2025
Our driver Corey was funny, engaging and quite knowledgeable about what we were seeing . He is a very good driver and suggested a wonderful stop for lunch the water and snacks were appreciated.

All you can ask for in a transfer. A comfortable ride, a good guide, lovely scenery and great stops along the way.
Sandra_D, Aug 2025
We took this transfer from the port in Seward to Anchorage. It was a great way to enjoy the day exploring the area before heading home or onto the next land destination. But a highlight was our driver Don. He was kind and friendly. He went above and beyond for our group when at the last minute flights were cancelled and he returned back to the airport to pick them up and take them to a hotel. He really cares and it shows.
Patricia_W, Jul 2025
Already filled this out. Everything was great. Guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time

Leslie_A, Jul 2025
It was a great way to see Alaska! Our tour guide, Brooks,was knowledgeable, humorous, polite, and did a great job.
The seats on the van were not very comfortable, especially in the back, because we were extremely cramped. They should just take out a row of seats if you’re going to pay that kind of money.
Christie_V, Jul 2025
Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly with great communication skills. His enthusiasm and love for Alaska came shining through!
Amanda_C, Jul 2025
We got transferred to the Salmon Berry tour last minute and couldn't have been happier. They were amazing. We drove around Seward some, then headed to the wildlife center where we saw many amazing native animals then on to the brewery for amazing food and beer followed by the gondola ride up the mountain for amazing views before heading to the airport. Overall, it was about 7+ hours long which was great since we had a very late flight out. I wish we could have gotten close to a glacier on this tour instead of the Gadola ride, but it was still a great experience. They also provided snacks/water during the car ride as well!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hello! So glad you had a wonderful experience in Alaska :) I think you meant to share this on SalmonBerry's page, but reglardless, we think they are wonderful too and refer to them when we are booked. We all win when people have great experiences in Alaska :) Best to you, James
Patti_M, Jul 2025
We had a wonderful experience with our tour director and driver Dan. He is very knowledgeable about the area and took us to great local places . We enjoyed the hike to the glacier as well as the wildlife animal conservancy center , lakes and glaciers around the area , great lunch at the brewery food trucks and a locally family owned gift shop . We truly enjoyed our tour and above all the beauty of Alaska .
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Gary_S, Jul 2025
The trip wasn’t quite what we expected and didn’t do beluga point as road to busy. So we were disappointed, also thought we would have made a few stops to try and see more wildlife.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Gary. We're also disppointed that you didn't love your tour with us! This is one of our most popular and well reviewed tours, so we were suprised by your feedback. We did check the GPS recording we have for all our vehicles and see that we did stop at all the places we have listed- Alaska Wildlife Center. Portage Valley to view glaciers and an extra stop at Virgin Falls. I would love to talk with you directly please, so that we can understand better. We are always trying to provide exceptional experiences! Please call 907-917-8687 ask for Jen or email info@welcomeanchorage.com Thank you!
Bridget_S, Jul 2025
Well worth the price. Small group was the two of us, so tour was personalized. Guide was very personable and knowlegable about everything. Great lunch place, reasonably priced. Wildlife Center was fantastic.
