    Joyce_X, Dec 2024
    This tour was absolutely fantastic! The guide was incredibly humorous and shared fascinating stories and insights about the beautiful Anchorage scenery. The sandwich he took us to try was a delightful surprise, super tasty and a great addition to the trip. We also had the chance to see lots of wildlife at the reserve, which was truly a highlight of the day.
    Full day of spectacular scenery and interesting local knowledge, a great combination!
    Bev_W, Dec 2024
    Picked up at our hotel right on time with Tim our local driver December was a nice time to visit not so busy so just 4 of us in the minibus. We started at 8:45 still dark but the drive as it was getting light was still great. The scenery is spectacular and Tim had lots of local knowledge and stopped at some pretty stops for photos. The wildlife Conservation Centre was nice to see the bison, muskox in particular were very close for photos. Stunning views of the mountains along the way, the tide was out on the mud flats going but in when we travelled back. The stop for a late lunch in Girdwood was the best sandwich we have ever eaten, worth the longer trip just for this spot. On the way back we stopped at Beluga Point at sunset and the colours with the clear sky & sun against the mountains was absolutely gorgeous. To note you need warmer clothes as it’s a lot colder than in Anchorage but well worth the longer trip of 6-7 hrs.
    No show. Was Viator to blame?
    Michael_T, Nov 2024
    Unfortunately, the tour operator did not show up at the expected time. I looked up his number & called him, but he said he had cancelled all November tours. He profusely apologized & submitted a refund. I’m not sure whether to blame Viator or the tour operator. Fortunately, we were able to get another tour operator on short notice, however, it cost almost twice as much. I wanted to complain to Viator directly, but was unable to do so on their website.
    Response from Host, Nov 2024
    I apologize, I thought I had canceled tours for the remainder of the winter. I don't know how viator had allowed the tour to be processed. I am reviewing the rest of the winter to ensure no one else has had this happen to them.
    Great customer service

    An Experience To Remember
    Ken_G, Aug 2024
    We highly recommend Tim and his fabulous tour if you are in Anchorage. As a native, Tim was chock full of information both historically and current. He has a great sense of humor and shared many personal stories. He is a charming young man. The Animal Conservation Center was fabulous, along with a beautiful blue green lake color enhanced by melting snow with blue streaks from a mountain. A stop at a river where the salmon were swimming up stream to spawn was a great thing to witness. Lunch was provided at a very interesting spot with multiple food truck choices. You can’t go wrong with this small group tour!

    Tim was a great tour guide. The weather was too wet so I was chilly. Sunshine would have been appreciated.
