What Our Travelers Say
Our tour organised for 10 friends went from Seward to Fairbanks, visiting many places and seeing as much as we could fit in. It was a great overview of Alaska that we've never experienced before. Our tour guide Christopher was amazing, guiding us all the way. A great way to see something new! Thanks Jennifer for organising this wonderful tour and Chris for putting up with 10 Aussies!
What an amazing day. Elizabeth with Welcome Anchorage Tours was fantastic during our privately booked tour. Her insights, and personal touches made our trip so special. The scenery between Anchorage and Seward was beautiful, . Experiencing the SeaLife Center had its high points and to top it off was our Dog Sled ride and holding 3 week old Alaskan Husky puppies. Thank you Elizabeth, you seriously made this trip awesome!
This tour was by far one of the best that I was in Alaska, our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable, comfortable ride in a Mercedes Vialy, we were able to see nice Anchorage local places, if you want to see bears this is the tour, we went and contemplate Glaciers, the views are stunning, it had it all!
