This is a MUST DO tour!!! - This is a must do tour. We enjoyed breathtaking views at every turn, and various types of wildlife. Our van was extremely comfortable and water and snacks provided. Don was our tour guide and he was fabulous, he made our trip very special, so personable, fun and knowledgeable of the area and the history. This was a family trip with my dad who is almost 87. Don took extra care to make sure he enjoyed everything about this trip. Before the end of our tour I can honestly say we felt more like family than clients. This company and their staff are amazing and want to be sure their clients have the best experience possible. Truly a trip of a lifetime. Many thanks to them for the extraordinary service they provide. I highly recommend this company and their tours.

Great tour with a great team - We had a great day that was everything that was promised and more. Our driver was Brooks, but we also had Ian and Stephanie with us. They are a fantastic team. All are native or long time Alaskans and their love and pride in their state is evident. They are very knowledgeable and we appreciated their personal insight and experiences. They were very flexible on time, we didn’t ever feel rushed and even made fun stops for ice cream, photo ops etc. It was like having personal tour guides. The ride up Hatcher Pass was gorgeous and the mine tour was very interesting. The van was clean and well maintained and they offered snacks and water. I would highly recommend this tour and the team.

Minnesota travelers in Alaska scenery - Dress in layers and wear good walking shoes. Have sunglasses ready. There are many opportunities for pictures and you will have time to get good views and not be rushed.

Anchorage welcome tour with Caleb - We had the most amazing time with Caleb as our guide. He was fantastic and made our day. As it turned out, most of the advertised itinerary was not doable. Probably due to the early date of our scheduled tour. However, Caleb more than made up for the changes. He was knowledgeable, energetic and enthusiastic. It turned out to be the best day of our Alaskan cruise shore experience.

Our family consisted of 5... - Our family consisted of 5 members from ages 15 months to 74 years old. We booked a private tour and our guide was Caleb. This adventure was a great experience for our first full day in Alaska. The weather was outstanding. Caleb was full of Alaska information and knowledgeable and eager to answer all our questions. The most appreciated part of the tour was Caleb's flexibility in tweets during the tour and easy going nature. I would highly recommend this adventure.

Welcome Anchorage is an Epic private tour company!!! 💙give them a try you won’t be sorry! - My husband and I met a wonderful tour guide Don who escorted us everywhere. We wanted to go and met every need that we had. He was very pleasant and he shared some of his favorite beautiful scenic spots with us as he was a local.

Enjoyable tour but locations not as expected - Getting right to the point - I would book this tour directly with Welcome Anchorage Tours vs. Viator (third party) so you’ll know what you’ll actually be seeing on the tour. We enjoyed our tour, but of the six places listed on Trip Asvisor/Viator, we only went to one of the stops. One place was closed due to snow. Our tour guide had no idea what one of the other stops was. We visited the Reindeer Farm vs. Musk Ox Farm which was actually a plus. While not listed as a place to visit on the tour, the Nature Center was quite beautiful.
