Welcome! My name is Greg and I've been a resident of Anchorage since 1981. I came here by motor home on vacation and I feel like I'm still on vacation. I worked in the fishing industry during the 80's and that sealed my love for Alaska. I next sold real estate through the 90's until 2004 and made many local friends. I have been leading tours between Seward and Fairbanks Alaska since 2008 and have driven that highway 100's of times. The thing so great about it is that it looks different every tour I drive. I love talking about Alaska and spreading the news about it. I would love to tell you and show you what I know about this beautiful state. I am very open to all destinations and tour ideas you may have. Class B Commercial Drivers Liscense. None

Overview of your Whittier tour

Having lived here for over 40 years and doing tours since 2008, I am very much aware of all the history between Whittier and Anchorage and I love telling people about it. If time permits, we will make a short loop around Whittier, the "strangest city in Alaska", and then exit Whittier through the 2. 5-mile Anton Anderson Tunnel and head on to Anchorage through some of the most beautiful parts of Alaska. The sixty miles of this private tour is filled with many things to do and see like wildlife, glaciers, and if we are lucky, we may catch the surfers riding the tidal bore along the Turnagain Arm, quite a phenomenon. It's my goal and desire to make this day the most memorable day of your vacation. Most all of my tours usually end up going over the scheduled time period so I'm not worried about spending more time with you.
