Excellent

Published on Sep, 2024

Teresa was great! Very informative and patient! She gave us a tour of Anchorage and dropped us off right in front of our hotel! Highly recommend.

Great tour with a wonderful guide!!!

Published on Aug, 2024

Wonderful way to see Alaska on land after a week-long cruise. If you’re going to have to make the trip from Whittier to Anchorage, you might as well enjoy it and see all that you can. Our tour guide, Dan, couldn’t have been more nice and accommodating. This was a definite highlight of our trip!!!

Highly Recommend!

Published on Jul, 2024

Our day with Welcome Anchorage was a fantastic way to end our cruise! They were so accommodating to our two families. We had different flights home and Welcome Anchorage worked with us to drop off the early group and take the later group around for lunch and sightseeing. After the chaos of exiting the cruise ship and having to wait in a crowded warehouse, it was such a relief to see Jenny pull up right on time in a beautiful van pulling a trailer to accommodate all our luggage. From the first moment we met, Jenny was kind and positive. The van was spacious and clean and each person was welcomed with a small backpack full of snacks and water. What a nice touch and so perfect for our always hungry teenagers! As we drove, Jenny took the time to get to know each person in the van by name. Jenny told us about what we were seeing and pointed out interesting sights. Our first stop was the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. We were very lucky and got to see many animals up close, including brown and black bear, moose, wolves, wood bison and the cutest baby musk ox, to name a few. Jenny was great and really knew her way around the center. I also appreciated that she was always clear on the timeframe we were working with to get family #1 to the airport by 12:00. She communicated well about how long we had at each animal viewing area. As we headed to the airport, she told us more about Alaska and Anchorage. After dropping off the first group at the airport, she gave my family many options of places to eat lunch and things we could do in the 4 hours we had in Anchorage. We had a fantastic lunch overlooking the seaplane "runways," went to the Ulu factory, enjoyed some local ice cream, walked in the beautiful earthquake park and finally headed to the airport via a few more sights. We loved Jenny so much and felt like family by the end of the day! Based on our positive experience, I highly recommend Welcome Anchorage!

Fabulous day tour up the Turnagain Arm to Anchorage

Published on Jun, 2024

Highly recommend this transport/tour for anyone post-cruise from Seward or Whittier to a night flight out of Anchorage. We had such an awesome time exploring the Turnagain Arm. Our guide was Don, he was such a gem with a wealth of knowledge, fun facts on so many subjects about Alaska and beyond. Super polite and courteous about what kind of experience we wanted from the day! The Byron Glacier hike was closed for a bear feeding nearby. Although Don did not have any trouble filling out our day with photography, restroom and food stops… including fireweed honey ice cream in Girdwood. We really had such a perfect day! The owners were also so accommodating with our last minute booking due to our change of plans. And, graciously provided road trip snacks!!! Five stars from Arizona, definitely pass on the cruise coach for this adventurous experience. #alaska #cruise #alaskaconservationcenter welcomeanchoragetours

Great Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Fantastic tour and gave us an opportunity to see a few more sights after disembarking from a cruise. We were drawn to this excursion because we could be dropped off at the Anchoarge Airport at the end of the tour. Parker, our tour guide, is personable knowledgeable and provided recommendations for local activities.The transit van was clean and comfortable. This is a private tour which is convient for a small group. The cost was comparable to a regular whittier to anchorage bus transfer but included extra time to take in scenic glaciers, wildlife conservation center, beluga point and the Ulu factory.
