​Memorable Anchorage tour featuring local craftsmanship, wildlife sightings, and delicious Alaskan treats, expertly led by Val. - What am amazing tour! I've learned so much! We visited the Ulu Factory and I even bought myself an Ulu knife! The demo and watching guys make the Ulu onsite were memorable. We also had smoked salmon and deer sausage testing; the chocolate tour was the best. First time I've seen a real big chocolate fountain and what about the endless chocolate samples! The trip to the Earthquake Park and walking on the trail among the birchtrees- no words. At the Sleeping Beauty area - we saw a bald eagle flying above us! First time for me to see this in the wild! What a treat!. We also went to the Baluga Point - endless beauty. I have to thank Val, our tour guide for her friendliness, knowledge of the area, and she's was also a lot of fun. I commend Val and recommend this tour!

The tour guide, Val was personable and informed. She made it an enjoyable experience..I definitely recommend this tour - Frequent stops around the city and a nice drive out to Beluga Point. You get a short look at several places so you can see what you may want to focus on later.

Great Alaskan experience! - Melissa was great as we had the luxury of having a Native, Inuit not only show us the history about the places but her own personal stories which was so rare to have. Our experience, also being Native Hawaiians made it more relevant and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, delicious food tastings and rare moose sighting!
