- Portage Glacier - Enjoy incredible scenic views and see the hanging glaciers in the Portage Valley. We will end at Portage Lake before heading to Byron Glacier

- Girdwood - After a full day of activities, we stop in Girdwood for an optional lunch at one of our favorite local restaurants- great food, prices and local flavor ( Have we mentioned the incredible chowder?)

Excellent Tour & Transfer from Seward to Anchorage!!! - If you are not in a hurry and want a full day transfer tour from Seward to Alaska, this is for you, what a fantastic tour!!! We were on a post cruise stay in Seward and later in the season so the train from Seward to Anchorage had already stopped, and we were disappointed about that, so we booked this transfer as our transpiration. But how wrong we were, this was far better than the train transfer could have ever been! It was in a practically brand new Mercedes Sprinter van, had door to door service and James our guide (longtime Alaskan local) was by far the most knowledgeable guide about Alaska, telling us all kinds of little known facts, and took us to the most amazing and interesting stops for photos and stories, that you would not typically see or experience on a normal tour. We also were given a cute little nylon string bag filled with water bottles and snacks for the journey. We felt very special and at the end of the day were so happy that the train was not running! For a wonderful experience and incredible hospitality, be sure to book this transfer tour!

Excellent - Teresa was the perfect guide for this excursion from Seward to Anchorage. She was born and raised in Alaska and couldn't have had a more knowledgeable guide.

Fantastic tour - Arranging the trip tour was super easy and the tour was excellent! We booked the tour to take us from our cruise ship in Seward to the airport in Anchorage. Rick arrived as we disembarked with a beautiful luxury Suburban or the five adults in our group and off we were on a sightseeing adventure! We learned so much about life in Alaska, the culture and people! We stopped at two locations to see the Salmon running and learned a lot about salmon, wishing and how Alaskans prepare and store it! We stopped for a wi detail lunch and went to the wild Life Preserve and stopped several places for photos and searching for Beluga! Rick was great and made our over 6 hour tour and day a great finale to our trip and the best support transfer! Highly recommend this rather than taking the train and sitting at the airport waiting for your evening flight!

Best way imaginable to get to Anchorage from Seward - Courtney was awesome! She packed in so many awesome stops that kept us all engaged and having a wonderful time. Highlights were the Awcc, bore tide, the restaurant in Girdwood and the stop for a trek in the woods. She knew so much and shared it all in a very entertaining way. You have a winner guide in her! We are so glad we did this rather than just a transfer to the airport. There was so much to see along the way! Makes us want to come back soon!

Teresa made the tour! - The day started off chaotic as a big crash had occurred on the main highway which blocked the road - however the tour guide company were super proactive in keeping us updated and committed to ensuring they delivered on the tour even with these events that were output their control. We had Teresa and she was just amazing! The fact she kept the energy up throughout the day was incredible, and we enjoyed it- even with a late end to the day!
