Traveler Reviews
I have to mention that the tour guide was not wearing a mask. That was not my preference, especially with Delta becoming a huge threat. But other than that, the tour was amazing! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to a number of off-the-beaten-path locations. Maybe my favorite tour of the trip!

Really awesome tour. Our guide LeLinda was super down to earth and knew all kinds of cool things about Alaska. She even went out of her way and dropped us off at Anchorage Brewing after the tour! Big big thank you to LeLinda and I suggest you go on her tour if in Anchorage

The entire tour was a hit thanks to our friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful tour guide, LeLinda. Even though I am not a huge fan of zoos or conservation centers, I highly recommend visiting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center with its massive enclosures. Our photos of bears, moose, muskox, caribou, porcupine, reindeer etc. look like the animals are out in the wild. LeLinda has traveled extensively in Alaska and provided much insight into the history, landscape, and flora and fauna of Alaska. We would love to travel with her to other parts of Alaska. Thanks, LeLinda for the "front row seat" on my July birthday.
