1.00What a shame. Our first 3 stops were to stores that were gift shops. We had 5 minutes at Turnagain Arm. Guide gave incorrect information about northern lights, bears, reasons for homelessness, and the 1964 earthquake. She was hard to understand. She talked a lot about homeless people and a bridge that is known for suicides and some how that was connected to children. We couldn’t wait for the tour to end. And there was more, but this is enough.
Great experience!

5.00Ina was a great tour guide. Even though she was not from Alaska she was well prepared with the history and life of Anchorage. We had a great time.

1.00Did not enjoy this tour. Our shuttle bus was extremely cramped and driver/tour guide’s microphone did not work so it was difficult to hear her. She also seemed bored. For a city tour, I felt more time was spent at the 3 stores we stopped at in the hopes that we’d all buy stuff. Showing us where the homeless hang out and the bridge where 200 people have committed suicide was somewhat odd. Underwhelming tour.
The tour was great & Gary...

4.00This is not a walking city tour. The van ride was nice. Apparently if you have a tour later in the day, you may miss the salmon and reindeer tasting stop if the store has closed. Lots of souvenir shopping opportunities along the way.
Great tour!
