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.
- 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!
- 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!
