What people love about Anchorage Tours
- Nature's Best: Alaska
We loved everything except the boat tour out of Seward. The seas were way too rough to go out. It was the final tour of the year on that boat. It should of been cancelled and refunded in full. We received $50 each back because the tour was shortened from 6 hours to 5 hours. I repeat again. Waste of time. I did not take a picture. People were throwing up (plenty of them). Did not see any whales. We were notified the day before that the seas could be rough. Globus should of taken the initiative and cancelled. Did not have a good time at all.
- Jewels of Alaska (Classic)
For only having 8 days to try to highlight such a massive, incredible state this tour was amazing! It really gives a great glimpse into the majesty of Alaska and the awesome local people who live here. There were a couple of bumps as the state is trying to recover from covid but all the workers did an awesome job trying to give us the best experience possible. Everyone was incredibly friendly, from the managers to the servers to the housekeepers. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time visiting Alaska!
- Anchorage: Kenai Fjords & Denali National Park 5 Day/4 Night Adventure
We had a terrific experience in Alaska. Some wonderful scenery and animal sightings. Our hosts were very accommodating and thoughtful to enhance our experience. Well worth the visit.
