Wonderful trip! Brittany was so great and knowledgeable! She was so kind and knew all of the best spots! It really felt like she was a longtime friend we were visiting and she was taking us to all of the best spots! We learned so much! She made sure to get us the best views of the sunset. They’re hard to catch in the winter and happen fast but she made sure we caught it at multiple spots! She knew about all of the animals at the conservation! It was freezing and windy out and she was great with making sure we had enough stops with keeping warm. She was great with our kids and answered all of their questions. I highly recommend this trip with her!!

excellent experience

Jodie_W, Nov 2025

The guide took me on even i was the only one signed up for the day. She was very friendly and passionate about things she showed me. I am against zoo so this conversation center is a good place to see some native animals. The guide knows every animal in the wildlife centre by name! It was very enjoyable and I highly recommend this tour if you have limited time in Anchorage or just want a shorter day tour.

Great sunset tour!

David_M, Mar 2025

Brittney was great. Even though no one else booked this tour, she still took just the two of us on a great tour. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the animals at the conservation center and it shows. Got incredible sunset views despite the cloudy day. Definitely recommend taking this tour with Brittney.

My heart is full

Anita_R, Jan 2025

Brittany was a wonderful historian and information vault! She has a knack for explaining and sharing her wealth of knowledge that made me feel like she’s never met a stranger. The views were breathtaking and it was awesome seeing all the animals up close! The foxes ate dinner for an audience and the wolves were having fun playing. I could have watched them for hours. The lookout/stopping points were perfect for 360* picturesque views. I’m so glad we did this tour! My heart is full💗!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you so much! I had a great time! Reviews like this are exactly why I do this! I hope you're able to come back for a summer trip in the future!

Amazing tour and very knowledgeable

Ms_B, Dec 2024

Brittney is an amazing guide. She really makes you feel like you’re visiting a friend showing you the beauty of Alaska. She is very knowledgeable in the life of an Alaskan, the wildlife and has a great cheerful personality. She is a great conversationalist making this tour awesome. We saw plenty of wildlife and during feeding times. Lots of photo opportunities. Thank you for sharing Alaska’s beauty.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much! Its always an honor to share this beautiful place!

Great views, animals and spectacular sunset!

elizabeth_o, Nov 2024

Way to go Brittney! Delightful tour full of local information and history AND eagles, bears, moose, fox, musk oxen and porcupines. There are more rescued animals at the Conservation Center but these were my favs. Twix the porcupine stole my heart. Top it off a spectacular sunset and it was a wonderful day. Thank you Brittney!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the day as much as I did!

Mountains, Animals, and Sunset

Daniel_T, Oct 2024

Brittney is an excellent guide and is very knowledgeable about all things Alaska. The tour included great photo opportunities for mountain ranges, animals, and of course, a sunset. She doesn’t go off a script, so you learn about Alaska through authentic conversation and observations. I will definitely look her up the next time I’m in Anchorage!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much for your review! I always appreciate when my guests feel my genuine love for this place. I look forward to Escaping Anchorage with you in the future!

Breathtaking

Taylor_F, Oct 2024

Brittney presented us with MAGIC on our tour.... The amount of active wildlife, beautiful scenery (a great day for Denali views) and wonderful information was just what we needed to complete our 50 states trip! We highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Your family was such a joy! I'm looking forward to helping you plan your next trip! Thank you for supporting our small business!

I love Alaska

Ali_A, Oct 2024

Best trip and tour guide ever. I had so much fun exploring alaska. The sunset was beautiful and I was able to see 8 mooses in one day. The tour guide is so sweet and very experienced. I learned so much from her. I would definitely do this again in the future.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much for your excellent review! You definitely hold the record for "most moose seen on one tour" for the entire year!

Such a GREAT Experience!

jww5cvgfrn, Mar 2024

LOVE IT. The best day I had in Anchorage! I get to know all the spectacular mountains and history stories in Anchorage which I wouldn’t have had if I went with other guides. Also, the spots were great and basically personal, so that it felt like such a unique exploration. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you so much! I'm glad we were able to make it happen even with the unpredictable weather!

Above and beyond experience

Leticia_M, Sep 2023

Brittney from Escape Anchorage was beyond amazing! She picked us up right on time and was very friendly. We had a wonderful time at the conservation center, she knew all the animals by name! She also knew if these “off the beaten path “ locations for some indescribable photos. I really can’t say enough about this excursion/experience. Absolutely 100% more than satisfied.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

It's an absolute pleasure to have had the opportunity to show you my beautiful home! Reviews like this fuel our motivation to keep providing top-notch service! Thanks you for choosing Escaping Anchorage!

Gorgeous Nature, Lovely Guide

Zaina_N, Jan 2023

Brittany is such a fun person! You can tell she really loves Alaska and has a soft spot for wildlife. She knew all the names of the rescued animals at the AWCC and shared a lot of facts and history about Alaska, which was fascinating. We appreciated her going the extra mile to point out good restaurants and make sure we had other Anchorage “must sees” on our list.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for the lovely review! I love sharing my passion for Alaska with others and am so glad you enjoyed your time!

Magnificent experience!

Brittney was very accommodating and super knowledgeable about the wildlife, local geography and culture. We got to see a baby moose, an eagle, a reindeer and lots of glaciers!

I’m thrilled you had a great time! Thank you so much!

Incredible Value

Benji_P, Oct 2022

I was in Anchorage only for a couple days wondering how I could make the best of my time out there. This was hands-down one of the best tours I've ever done and the highlight of my very first trip to Alaska. Brittney is an amazing tour guide. She is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. I loved every bit of the Turnagain arm drive up to Girdwood. Visit to Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center was magical. She was very accommodating in making stops when I wanted to check out different sights along the way. I loved that I got to grab a hot drink on the way back at a cafe in Girdwood as well. This trip would not have been the same without Brittney. She helped me have an elevated experience of the whole thing. I can't recommend this enough. Incredible value! PS: I took all these pics using my cellphone Pixel 6A.
