Excellent and comfortable tour! - David was an excellent guide. He knew so much about the land, flowers, and history. I didn't feel rushed and we got to see the things we wanted to see. I really enjoyed the tour. It didn't start too early and finished in time to catch the shuttle to the cruise port.

Great personal tour of Anchorage - Excellent and very informative. The van qas very comfortable and there were 8 people on the tour. David is a great tour guide. We had limited time in Anchorage, and he took us to the most meaningful points of interest and really knew the history, ecology and people of Anchorage. We felt like we really understood Anchorage after his 2 1/2 hour tour. Highly recommend you take this tour as an initial introduction to the area.

Exceptional tour! - Wonderful trip.David, the owner and operator, is a wealth of knowledge. He led a well planned trip through Anchorage and we were fortunate to be on it. He also communicated efficiently and arranged to meet us at our hotel. If you have the chance to experience Frontier Tours for yourself, jump on it!

A Highlight Tour of Anchorage - This is the perfect tour for those who are only in Anchorage for a very short time and are without a vehicle. I do not recommend this tour for those who are familiar with Anchorage at all because this is a basic tour, taking you to a few highlight spots where you’ve more than likely been if you’ve spent any amount of time in Anchorage. David is a knowledgeable guide, helpful, and attentive. He even had bug spray available for us to use while on a walk in an area where there were mosquitoes. He knows the history of Anchorage well. Bonus, he will pick you up from several different meeting points. If I were to give some constructive criticism, it would be that the tour would be better if it included a bottle of water, and a granola bar, fruit snacks, or any kind of small snack. Also, a little better description of where to meet (you meet outside the Center on the sidewalk, not inside where other, larger, tour groups meet.) Overall, we felt this tour was an ok value. It’s perfect if you have no way of getting out and seeing the highlight areas of Anchorage and only have a few hours to spend.
