Excellent Tour - Corey our tour guide picked us up in Whittier, and gave us a tour on our way to Anchorage. Providing us with snacks and water to help keep us hydrated and entertained us with his knowledge and stories. He was very informative and gave us plenty of time to take pictures along the way. Corey went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. I would definitely recommend Welcome Anchorage Tours and Corey to everyone!

A relaxing guided tour with a knowledgeable tour company! - We had a wonderful time on our post cruise tour. Corey was so charming and informative. I would recommend this tour company as a way to spend a day seeing wildlife on their way to Anchorage. Corey constantly wanted to show us more and more sights and made sure that we were all happy with our tour.

Knowledge and Adventure - Excellent tour with Brooks as our driver. As a native Alaskan he has deep knowledge of the culture and land of Alaska. We made stops for hikes, the Alaskan animal sanctuary, lunch at a local restaurant and the ulu knife factory and store. Brooks allowed us ample time at each place.

Great tour! Moose sighting! - Our driver Corey picked us up at the cruise terminal right on time, then treated us to a full day tour from Whittier to Anchorage. We saw glaciers, visited an animal rehab center, stopped at a great place in Girdwood for lunch, with a cool coffee/gift shop nearby. A short hike to see a waterfall was next, then we saw a moose walk right by our van! The entire time, Corey regaled us with info & stories about Anchorage. Great guide & a fun group. Highly recommended!

Stops were not as... - Stops were not as advertised; tour guide's commentary wasn't always accurate. On the upside, the lunch stop and unscheduled airport side-visit were great. Charged more than advertised price.

Rude and Condescending - The guy who picked us up was disappointing. Our tour was supposed to be from 9am to 3pm and it felt like he was rushing us the whole time. He was also rude and condescending with the questions we asked. In addition, some of the things he was telling us seemed off so we looked some different things up and what he was telling us wasn't true. I'm sure the company might be fine, but our particular person (I can't remember his name, but he had just finished his master's last week) was not good. We would ask normal questions and he would respond with "Nobody just hits their head and ends up in Alaska. If you don't understand that I don't know what else to tell you" and then would eventually get back to the questions. Our group was not impressed!
