You get to experience...

You get to experience sights you would not see on a direct transfer to the airport. Great vistas were seen throughout our day

Excellent Post Cruise Transfer Experience

Steve_H, Jul 2025
Our family booked this private transfer to avoid the bus crowds and were not disappointed. Our driver, Dawn, was prompt, safe and knowledgeable. Her recommendations for sightseeing were helpful and informative. I highly recommend this option for your post cruise transfer.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed the Seward to Anchorage Cruise Transfer and Private Tour and that Dawn provided such excellent service. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to her. We appreciate you recommending us!

Travel in style from cruise to Anchorage Airport!

Allison_M, Jul 2025
Great way to travel from the cruise terminal to Anchorage airport! Van was spacious and comfortable for the 7 of us and all our luggage. Danna was a wonderful and informative tour guide. It was private so she took the time to find out what we wanted to do on the way to Anchorage. Highlights along the way: Wildlife Conservation Center, went to top of Alesky Mountain via tram and had lunch, and walked a short trail to a beautiful waterfall. It is a bit pricey per person, but it was also a tour with a transfer that lasted 8 hours. It was definitely worth it and I would do it again.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that your transfer from the cruise terminal to the Anchorage airport was not only comfortable but also a memorable part of your Alaskan adventure. Danna will be delighted to know her efforts made such a positive impact—she truly enjoys creating personalized experiences for our guests. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the stops along the way, especially the Wildlife Conservation Center, the Alyeska tram, and the waterfall hike. We know the tour is an investment, and we really appreciate you recognizing the value of combining sightseeing with your transfer. We’d love to welcome you back again on your next visit to Alaska! Safe travels and thanks again for choosing us!

Better than a boring bus ride!

This tour is a great option if you have a late flight out of Anchorage after a cruise. Our awesome guide Mike picked us up at the Seward cruise terminal, & we spent the next 9 or so hours seeing some great sights & learning a lot about Alaska. You can specify what you want to see, but we left it up to Mike. Besides the aquarium in Seward & the cool wildlife center, Mike would pull off the road at various times to show us something interesting…a lake with a ton of different types of birds, a glacial river bed with amazing views, even a moose & black bear he spotted along the way. We had lunch at the top of Alyeska ski resort, via their tram, more fantastic views. Mike is passionate about Alaska & it was evident in the interesting stories he told. He dropped us off at the Anchorage airport after a great day of experiencing things we would not have found on our own. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

We are so happy you enjoyed your time with Mike. We love having the opportunity to show our guests the best parts of Alaska. With the flexibility of the tour, we are able to customize the itinerary to our guests - making sure every moment is memorable. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, give us a shout if you are in Alaska again - we have so much more to show you!

You have to do this!

What a way to get from the Cruise to Anchorage. Very presonnel, guides know the area and we got to see so much and talk along the way. Be sure to do the additional stops.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

The optional stops like the Alyeska Tram or the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center are such fun additions to our Cruise Transfer Tours! Thank you for sharing! Best Regards, Rochelle

So happy we chose this!

Holly_m, Aug 2018
After an amazing cruise and week in Alaska, Dawn took care of us on our way back to Anchorage. I am so happy I chose this trip, as we were pretty tired, and Dawn catered to exactly what we needed. We saw beautiful sites, we were relaxed, and the day went according to our desires and needs. We loved the Wildlife Center, which Dawn guided us through and we were able to see a lot of wildlife. The tramway ride was fun and beautiful. Best way to end our amazing trip, and loved that everything was catered to us. Thank you!!

Lamentable conducta del operador y triste actitud de Viator en lavarse las manos frente al cliente

Jorge_W, Sep 2024
Me estan tomando el pelo? Despues de todo lo sucedido, y haber pagado 1400 usd sin haber hecho el crucero .

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Our apologies that you had difficulty with your booking with us through Viator. This was an unfortunate situation that was exacerbated by a language barrier between us and difficulty communicating with each other through the Viator platform. This guest booked a tour with a pick-up in Seward when they were 135 miles away in Anchorage. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of this mistake by Viator or the guest until our guide was already in Seward for the pick-up and unable to return to Anchorage in time to offer an alternative. Due to this unfortunate mistake by the guest, we incurred hundreds and hundreds of dollars of expenses for gas, guide wages, and guide lodging. Even so, we have refunded the guest the full amount paid. If you are reading this review and considering booking this tour, please know that this tour is a land transfer/tour from the cruise ship dock in Seward to Anchorage. It is NOT a cruise.
