Donna was the perfect guide! She was knowledgeable, kind and a great driver.
We experienced an in depth look at Anchorage and vicinity and its history while taking in many sights! We highly recommended this tour!
This tour is designed to give the transportation challenged tourist opportunity to see the outskirts of Anchorage at a reasonable price. Anchorage is the single largest sprawling metropolitan city in Alaska. On the Anchorage All Around City Tour we have combined the hard to reach sought after attractions that are located on the furthest corners of Anchorage. This leaves you the ability to leisurely access city center tourist attractions by simply following a walking tour map. Our driver is always happy to offer suggestions of sights or other tours not to miss. Tour Includes: Most of Anchorage’s popular sites in town Alaska Wild Berry Products, Ship Creek, Earthquake Park, Point Woronzof, University of Alaska, the Ulu Factory, even the Alaska Native Hospital where you will see one of Alaska’s largest collection of Native Art. Of course there is always a chance to see a "City Moose". Moose population in the city during winter are extreme.

Stop At: Alaska Wild Berry Products
5225 Juneau St, , Anchorage, Alaska
At Alaska Wild Berry Products you will see the World’s Largest Chocolate Water Fall! The falls incorporates over 3000 pounds of chocolate, authentic copper candy kettles, and a specially built warming and mixing system. The chocolate gushes out of the fountain head, cascades down the kettles, then settles in the swirling chocolate pool. And by the way, if you're tempted by the luscious smell to sample some of the flowing melted candy, please don't. The chocolate waterfall is for your visual enjoyment only. The store has plenty of delicious chocolate at the candy counter to your left. And you can sample before you buy.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Alaska Native Medical Center Craft Shop
4315 Diplomacy Dr, Anchorage, Alaska
Visit the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) – Ok, so if you're not native, you might think you would have no reason to visit ANMC, but you'd be wrong. At this hospital you will see one of the largest collection of Native Art from all around Alaska that represents over 227 federally recognized tribes in Alaska and rivals anything you will see in a museum. In fact, the collection is probably better. Here you will get a true flavor of Alaska’s rich Native history and learn about ANCSA. There's also a Native craft gift shop that will make you drool... They only mark up the art by 20 percent unlike the 150 percent markup you find downtown. And if you choose to purchase, wouldn't you feel good knowing that the proceeds from your purchase go to improve healthcare? Yeah, we thought so. Often there are Native Artisans on-sight selling their wares and even Native foods. Craft shop is closed on Saturday and Sunday and is only open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Duration: 20 minutes

It was relaxed and amazing. Our tour guide, Ina, was awesome. She was very knowledgable and answered all our questions - even recommended a place for dinner that was excellent. We would do this again and definitely recommend it!
