Traveler reviews
Unsafe Driving, do not recommend
While the scenery was beautiful, our driver with PicTours Alaska Tours tailgated other drivers, and looked up some things on his phone while driving, despite telling us there'd been some terrible traffic accidents on the highway between Anchorage and Girdwood. We learned more about the driver's travels to other countries, than he told us about Alaska and the local area. While I recommend going on a wildlife tour, I do not recommend this one with PicTours Alaska. I am sure this driver & guide has led some great tours, he may have been ready for the season to end, he didn't seem to be having a good day.
Must do tour
James is an exceptional guide with great knowledge and experience. We had a great time totally recommend it.
Great trip for your first day in Anchorage
A great experience - highly recommend. Our Guide, Maria was knowledgeable and pleasant. We toured the Turnagain Arm, The Wildlife Sanctuary and saw salmon spawning in a creek. A very pleasant trip. My only suggestion for future travelers is to pack your own lunches if possible. The place that the tour stops for lunch is quite nice and the food is quite good but it was a little too expensive for our budget.
Anchorage amazing adventure!!
Our cruise ship stopped in Anchorage and our visit was greatly enhanced by your wonderful tour! Our guide Aaron was so knowledgeable and added humor to his presentation that made our time together lots of fun! His enthusiasm conveyed his love of the area and made us love it too!!!
Great tour to take if this is your first time to Alaska
Fog is likely and will obstruct views of the glaciers . That was a big disappointment that I was not aware of until our guide told us when we arrived for our tour.
