What people love about Anchorage Tours
- Grand Alaskan Adventure
Our guide Kris was just wonderful, full of enthusiasm, witty, well organised and unflappable! The tour was good, the highlights being the a Riverboat cruise, which was incredibly well organised and the wildlife tour in Denali. Sara our guide for that one was great too. Accomodation was good, beds clean, comfortable, clean bathrooms, but the Ramada in Anchorage, while being very comfortable, is getting very tired! Tony, our driver was excellent too. I really enjoyed going to the museums and learning about the Alaska Quest and the Iditerod. Many thanks. Cheers, Susan Friend
- 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.
- 4 day Alaska Seward Camping Adventure from Anchorage
Myself and my buddies just got back from a Private Alaska tour with Bindlestiff. This was a great tour at a great price with a great guide. Alaska is sooo big, so we narrowed down an area we really wanted to see and explore in more depth. What a fantastic action packed itinerary. Lots of great meals included - very thought out. We loved the optional activities offered, along with hikes and free time in town. We are a group of friends traveling together and appreciate the stress being taken away and not having to plan and just enjoy - thank you so much for the fantastic time!
