Good way for a group to get to cruise port and experience the gorgeous scenery with stops - This was a perfect way to get from Anchorage to the cruise port for a family of 10. We saw amazing scenery including a moose and man eagles. The kids enjoyed the stop at the wildlife center. They liked the bear in the tub! Our guide was informative about Native culture. The tour company was very helpful with meeting our requests,

This is a MUST DO if you are in Anchorage - This experience was wonderful. Such a beautiful route to travel and so many stops to enjoy. Truly the very best tour/transfer available. Our guide Corey was outstanding. He made sure we experienced everything and took us to all the best spots. He was very fun and knowledgeable of both the area and the history. He took great care to be sure we had a wonderful experience. The company providing this tour, Welcome Anchorage is exceptional and offers the perfect experiences. The owners and guides make sure the clients receive once in a lifetime experience. Out guide Corey made this tour a lifetime memory. I highly recommend this tour/transfer and company and guide. They do ALL things right.

Amazing Tour & Company - I am a travel agent and I booked this transfer as a private tour because there were 12 of us and it was AMAZING!!! Corey was our guide and he fit right into our group. Because it was private we got to spend extra time at Beluga Point, hike up to Virigin Falls and in general, do what grabbed us at the time.
I highly recommend Welcome Anchorage. The office staff spent time with me to make this an unforgettable trip for my group. They were fun to work with and very professional. I am recommending this company to all my co-workers.

Awesome tour with great guides - We had a private tour for eight people from Anchorage to Seward and then, several days later, from Seward to our cruise port in Whittier. Both guides were fantastic!
Our first guide, H, drove us from Anchorage, giving us a quick tour of the city. We visited Lake Hood to watch the float planes land, made stops to take photos along Turnagain Arm, and had lunch in Girdwood. We enjoyed a beautiful hike to a waterfall, visited the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to see various animals, and took a short hike at Portage Glacier, although it started to rain during that part. H delivered us safe and sound to Seward. It was a great day, and she was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed having her as our tour guide.
On the return trip from Seward to Whittier, we had Christopher, who was also excellent. He took us to hike at Exit Glacier, drove us through the Anton Tunnel, and into Whittier. He also brought us to an amazing lookout point with stunning views before delivering us to our cruise port. Christopher was great to talk to and had a lot of information about the area.
I would definitely recommend Welcome Anchorage as a tour transfer company. The vehicles were spacious and comfortable. Both Kris and H were wonderful people. Booking with them was easy, and they were always very helpful in answering any questions I had prior to our tour!

Fantastic transportation from Anchorage to Seward - H took good care of us from the moment she picked us up at our AirBB! We appreciate her smooth driving and love of Alaska as we traveled to Seward. Our favourites were the Beluga whales, sea planes, waterfall and rain forest and wonderful lunch stop in Girdwood. Thank you for making our trip to Seward 10/10!

Welcome Alaska (Anchorage) to the rescue - Viator is not the reliable company that is stayed. The head company Welcome Alaska or Welcome Anchorage had to cover the reservation, as Viator did not show up for the reservation. H did a wonderful job of showing us all of the places and spaces that she loves between Anchorage and Seward. They were a godsend
