- We had a great time with a great guide! Kimberly was awesome, and had a lot of great stories about the area and Alaska history. We spent about an hour to 90 minutes at the animal sanctuary, which was perfect. Lunch and beers were also quite good!

A perfect day in Anchorage - We had such an incredible time on this tour! The drive to the wildlife center was unbelievably picturesque with stops to spot animals with binoculars along the way. The wildlife center was better than I had imagined, it was amazing to see so many different animals in such large, peaceful environments unlike a zoo and to hear about how the wildlife center is working to make a difference for the lives of these animals. Lunch at the brewery was delicious and tasting the different beers, seltzers, and root beers was tons of fun. Kimberly was INCREDIBLE! She went out of the way to personalize the tour to focus on information about animals that we were most interested in and shared all about life in Anchorage. We wouldn't hesitate to go on this tour again when we're back in the area.

The bison, bears, moose, elk, coyotes, wolves were wonderful to see. Chris was a great tour guide and very entertaining with his story telling. Highly recommend.

• “Anchorage Ales & Animal Tales: A Unique Beer Lunch Experience - What a great time! Chris was knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly friendly. The van was clean and very comfortable. The trip was planned with flexibility, always asking the guests what works. The brew house meal and drinks was exceptional! The tour to conservatory was great, giving us time to view, see first hand these amazing animals who are clearly cared for with love and attention. I HIGHLY recommend this trip!

Great triph - We really enjoyed this. We had the driver to ourselves. He was friendly and informative, pointed out local wildlife, stopped for scenic pictures. The Wildlife Center is great, most animals cooperated for photos except for shy foxes. The beer tasting was good and the food truck lunches were delicious.

Stunning views and amazing Alaskan wildlife - Alaskan Sights & Bites was fantastic. The scenery was stunning, the food was spectacular and the beer was amazing.
