Chris told some great stories about the area. We went to local shops and restaurants with a good variety of food tasting. He answered all my questions about the area. Great tour. I highly recommend this one!

Shannon was an absolutely amazing guide. The food and drinks were tasty and enough to fill you up and fuel us for our next adventure. Her narrative of the city was very educational and loved hearing her own personal history being a fourth generation Alaskan. Highly recommend this tour.

Full description

Starting in the present day we will “wonder” back through the past to the late 1800s, learning about Anchorage and Alaska through the stories of the individuals who lived here.

Meet up with your local Alaskan guide who will regale you with their storytelling skills where they share untold Alaskan history, and tell about unique Alaskan characters you won't get on other tours.

Walk a bit between the stops and get a feel for the city. Rest assured knowing they'll be plenty of chances to sit and relax as well. Visits to the restaurants and shops will last about 15 to 20 minutes each.

Sample a wide range of food and drinks significant to Anchorage's past and present, from seafood to ice cream to Russian dumplings to locally brewed beer. Relax, soak up the atmosphere, and pick up local insights from your guide. The tour ends a few blocks away from the meeting point at a local eatery.
