Anchorage City Private Full Day Tour

This is the perfect tour for those wanting to see more of Anchorage as a destination or layover, its attractions as a city as well as the scenic qualities of the immediate surrounding area which are nothing short of world-class. From spectacular orange-red sunsets behind towering volcanoes, possible views of the giant snow-clad Mt. Denali (McKinley) to the north, and salmon migrating in clearwater streams, to very lush green and colorful city parks, wandering wayside moose up close, expansive tidal flats stretching for miles, and the dynamic ski and recreation hub of the state, this extended tour highlights what makes Anchorage extremely unique and highly distinct from any other city on the continent. While a few of the locations are known destinations, some are more frequented by locals and viewed as the true jewels of the city of Anchorage.
