Such a GREAT Experience! - LOVE IT. The best day I had in Anchorage! I get to know all the spectacular mountains and history stories in Anchorage which I wouldn’t have had if I went with other guides. Also, the spots were great and basically personal, so that it felt like such a unique exploration. I would definitely recommend this tour!

A great time was had!!!!!! - Brittany is such a wonderful tour guide. Her love of her city of Anchorage (and the State of Alaska) makes you want to pack your bags and move to this city. Her knowledge of the landscapes, animals and History of the city is astounding. She is a great hostess and tour guide. If you are looking to see the beauty of Anchorage and gain some understanding of the culture of Alaska please do not hesitate to book this tour, you will not regret it. She honestly talked me in to planning a trip in the summertime with my mom and grandma to Anchorage. Thank you Brittany for hosting this solo traveler on her first trip to Alaska, I truly enjoyed myself.

Above and beyond experience - Brittney from Escape Anchorage was beyond amazing! She picked us up right on time and was very friendly. We had a wonderful time at the conservation center, she knew all the animals by name! She also knew if these “off the beaten path “ locations for some indescribable photos. I really can’t say enough about this excursion/experience. Absolutely 100% more than satisfied.

Gorgeous Nature, Lovely Guide - Brittany is such a fun person! You can tell she really loves Alaska and has a soft spot for wildlife. She knew all the names of the rescued animals at the AWCC and shared a lot of facts and history about Alaska, which was fascinating. We appreciated her going the extra mile to point out good restaurants and make sure we had other Anchorage “must sees” on our list.

Great Way to Explore Anchorage! - Good to have this last minute activity in Anchorage. Enjoyed the tour mostly at Alaska Wild Conservatory Center. Needless to say, Britney’s such a great guide, which made the tour fun-filled and informative at the same time.

Great experience - Brittany, our tour guide, was fabulous. We requested an airport pickup as we came in just an hour before tour start time. She is very passionate about what she does and it showed in the stories she told about various places we visited. The wildlife conservation park was excellent. Overall great experience, we highly recommend it.
