Welcome Anchorage Tours - Anchorage, Alaska

We did the Glacier View and Wildlife Tour with Rick and it was absolutely phenomenal! It was a perfect way to see so many parts of Alaska you wouldn’t think without a guide.

Rick was a hilarious ball of joy all day, and worked hard to make sure the whole group was engaged and having a great time.

The van was incredibly nice. Clean, modern, comfortable, and plenty of windows to enjoy the awesome views.

We definitely lucked out with the weather - clouds clearing out to show all the mountains, and the sun warming us up on the slightly chilly day - but I think the tour would still be a blast no matter the weather. Rick had an awesome itinerary planned, but left the flexibility for us guests to ask for something different, or for him to use his Alaska expertise to modify the order of things to improve the experience.

10/10 recommend this excursion, and likely any of their excursions, but I’ll just have to try them all first!

Jenny was a FANTASTIC guide and nature interpreter! This was our first ever excursion in Alaska and it was our best excursion during two weeks!

Jenny was very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, and the area's history. She explained the bore tide and the dangers of mud flats during low tide.

She is friendly, warm, and helpful. My wife had injured a knee the day before, without being asked Jenny offered the front passenger seat which was not being used. She was gracious with all of us on the tour. Jenny is passionate about Nature in Alaska, she loves her work and it shows. We learned a great deal from her on the tour.

The van was perfect, roomy and comfortable, the big windows were helpful while on the road. All of our other excursions in Alaska were huge groups, and transportation was uncomfortable. Our group size with Welcome Alaska was ideal.

Thank you to Jenny and Welcome Alaska for an excellent introduction to Alaska! June 11 2024.

I am a travel agent and did a lot of research trying to find the best option to get my 12-year-old son and me from Seward to Anchorage after our recent cruise in Alaska. I had debated taking the train as it does afford great views and is a frequent choice but I didn't like that we would not be able to stop anywhere along the way. I also wanted to get to the heart of Alaska and really experience some of the outstanding stops en route to Anchorage. My son and I feel so blessed to have found James and Welcome Anchorage Tours.! We had an amazing day and loved every spot on our tour! We were able to see and do so much in a limited time. The flexibility to customize our stops to the locations that we really wanted to see and to spend as much or as little time in each place as we wanted was incredible. James was patient and kind enough to guide us on the hiking trails to the glaciers (even providing some much-needed bug spray), took photos for us along the way, and gave us some free time to make memories just the two of us. The abundance of information that James has to share with you on your tour from the history of the area, facts about the flora and fauna, and personal narratives relating to his years living in Alaska are the perfect backdrop for your adventure with Welcome Anchorage Tours. James' passion for Alaska and for sharing it with others is refreshing. We learned way more about Alaska on our tour with James than we would have on a pre-programmed train or bus tour. I will definitely be recommending James and Welcome Anchorage Tours to my clients and anyone looking to have a great experience in the Seward/Anchorage area. Thanks for the wonderful memories James!

This is a fabulous experience and a great value. The scenery is incredible and the wildlife at the conservation center was fabulous. The tour guides were knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun. I considered several different tours and honestly picked this one because it was so much more affordable, but I'm sure it was the best too!

We loved our private tour/transfer from Anchorage to Seward before a cruise.
Courtney was a great guide showing us true Alaska and telling us interesting stories.
The van was brand new and had a trailer that fit all of our bags.
We stopped at a restaurant in Girdwood that Courtney recommended which had tasty food from a great menu.
Highly recommend this company!
