I personally did not enjoy this tour. The operator was half an hour late to picking us up. His driving was unsafe in the snow, skidding all over the road on multiple occasions. We were picked up in a vehicle which did not seem fit for the weather conditions. We were late for the sunset and would have missed it if we didnt hurry him along. We made multiple toilet stops that were unnecessary for a 4hr tour (two in the first two hours). He drove on what seemed like private property to go to a view point and told us that a man often comes out and yells at him and that ‘he would deal with it’ if someone came out. We missed the highlight of the trip (Turnigan Arm) because it was so late we couldnt see anything (it was dark). The tour operator provided his views on religion and politics as well as his family history which was unnecessary for a ‘sunset’ tour. The last stop was meant to be a gift store which was closed and when we told him not to bother with the gift store he got irritated with
Our guide provided a lot of interesting information about the earthquakes that hit Alaska and showed us around the area cumulating with an outstanding view of Anchorage after the sunset.
I hate giving bad reviews but this was the worst tour I’ve ever done. I guess the regular tour guides were not available and didn’t bother to train this guy. He told us at the end that this was only his second tour, hopefully he will improve. His driving was questionable but we didn’t crash. He offered no narration and what he did offer was factually incorrect, again, training. I don’t think he has lived in Anchorage long but he must have to stay a bit since he was wearing an ankle monitor. We did see some animals so it wasn’t all bad.
