While you can hop on and off the trolley we stayed on to get an overview Anchorage as it was less than 1 1/2 hours round trip. The trolley driver/narrator was excellent at pointing out landmarks and giving lots of history of Anchorage. She even sang a short song she made up on the ratio of men to women in Alaska. The trolley helped us decide what areas to check out afterwards during our stay in Anchorage.

Scheduled the 2:00pm Anchorage Deluxe City Trolley Tours on Saturday, July 10. We arrived early at 1:20pm as we wanted to be sure to find the location and check-in process early. As the tour company was extremely busy on this day they scheduled an extract deluxe trolly tour at 1:30pm, which we had option to take (and did) or remain on 2:00pm tour. The tour operator was great and provided a wealth of information about the area and stops. I really enjoyed the tour. We lucked out and the weather was perfect, which also great for this type of tour.

I had a rental car that cost an arm and a leg. I usually prefer to explore cities on my own. First visit to Anchorage and my wife is a sucker for red trollies in any city. She bought the tickets, I got on reluctantly. I thought I knew the history of the town .I was not prepared for a riveting story as told by our guide, Ms Donna. With personal stories and deep historical perspective, I was drawn in to any interesting delightful evening with complete strangers who by the end of the hour felt like friends. We hung back and chatted with Donna, she seemed unhurried, shared more than you can image. A true kind spirit.

6/14/2021 We went on the 5pm tour with Alice as our guide. She is an Anchorage native and explained the history past to present and gave a great overview of Anchorage. She was entertaining and humerous with local show tunes for the area. I definitely would recommend this tour.

We chose the basic 'stay on the trolley' tour - saw quite a bit and certainly were entertained with great stories. Wished we'd have done the deluxe hop on hop off so we could get some decent photos - nothing worse than reflection of a window in the photos we took so had to can most of them. Def worth the time. Would recommend the tour guide just going a little slower as she was trying to pack so much info in - it felt like overload. Perhaps edit some stories out and tell the best ones as there were heaps of them.

The tour was informative and fun. Disappointment was that it was fully booked, whereas it was 'advertised' as being half booked to allow for social distancing. We were only ones masked in a full trolley. Not as promised. Tour guide, Dave, was great!

The tour guides were accommodating and were very insightful, glad to answer our questions beyond the tour and generally about Alaska. It was a great way to understand the history of Alaska as an outsider and sightsee around the city of Anchorage. Would 100% recommend it

We signed up for the 1 1/2 hour tour because we always find the city bus tours excellent. We were totally disappointed with this one. It was probably the most boring tour ever. The only good info was hearing about the 1964 earthquake and the impact on the area. The driver got us off the bus in a couple places and talked about 30 seconds about the stop and the rambled on about nothing to do with the history of Anchorage. Seems like he was trying to kill time. Another couple we talked with on the tour felt the same way. We would not do it again, nor would we recommend it.

What a fun time! Climb aboard a trolley for a fully narrated tour and learn about the city and surrounding areas. Donna was our tour guide and she told tales and stories and made history come to life. We all had such a great time!

I decided to try the Trolley Tour to see a wider area of Anchorage in the limited time I had and I wasn't disappointed. Our driver and guide, Alice, was one of the most entertaining guides I've ever had. Singing her way around the City, telling jokes and keeping us entertained while explaining things about Anchorage. And we stopped enough to get some nice pictures and see some areas.
