Take the trolley tour, it is well worth the cost and is only one hour that is chock full of information. The trolley gives you a good view of places you will want to go back to visit. Our trolley tour driver was very informative and gave us the history of the area that was detailed and excellent More

I had a half day in Anchorage, so limited time.... I took the 50-55 min trolley tour and Donna, our guide, was very informative and entertaining. She gave us some history, information about the culture, a few quick site stops for photos, and very entertaining stories. It was a good way to get a sense of the city and made... More

It was informative but I feel like it could have been better. The tour guide was really interactive and full of great information and stories in fact she is why I rated it very good instead of just average. I wish it would have been a little more in depth and perhaps we could have seen a little more. More

I booked the anchorage trolley tour on our first activity upon arriving in Alaska. I hoped to hear about the history of the town and plenty of great anecdotes. What I got was the world's most boring bus driver giving us vague restaurant recommendations and telling personal stories no one in their right mind would care about. Did you know... More

Learned a lot about Anchorage. The guide was good and according to my 15 year old, "It wasn't super boring". High praise indeed! More

Not very expensive, $15 if I remember correctly. Our guide was a young lady who clearly knew the local area. We enjoyed this tour quite a bit. More
