Anchorage tour

Absolutely fantastic way to spend an hour in Anchorage. The bus driver was hilarious! We’d love to do this again when we visit.

Regular vs Deluxe
JaneJ550, September 2026
We took the “basic” tour which is not the deluxe tour. The difference is that
you do not stop and get off and walk
around for ?? minutes on the basic tour and therefore is shorter. The guide, Ian, was entertaining. He was more about engaging with the folks on the trolley and meshing Anchorage and Alaska information into the conversation with them, which was okay and entertaining, but some of riders may not have gotten the satire.
★★★★★ Tripadvisor review
