5Awesome Transfer Highly Recommend
Great Cruise Ship transfer to Anchorage, so much better than sitting all day in the airport waiting on your flight. Saw highlights of surrounding Anchorage area, Guide was very nice and knowledgeable of Alaska. Highly recommend.
3Disappointed
The tour was good but all of the stops were at no cost to the tour operator. The guide we had could not answer some of our questions about the area and referred us to the other guide. This tour was extremely overpriced for the value unfortunately.
5It was fine
It was as advertised !! On time interesting
5White Raven tours Dan
Dan was an excellent tour guide, entertaining and informative. Great way to spend the day after cruise and before airport. Skip the big charter bus and do this sprinter van tour instead! Kept on schedule and lots to see and learn. This is a must do!
5Great day from Seward to Anchorage!
Dan and Kim were very personable and accommodating. They brought us to places of interest that only those who are locals know about. We were looking for something to do on the day of our flight home that was scheduled for after 10 PM. This was so much more than filling time and was better than many of the excursions offered by the cruise ships. Our thanks to Dan and Kim!
5Must do when in Seward!
I was lucky to have Dan as my guide. He was very knowledgeable about the town being a local. The Sprinter was clean and our bags were handled with care. I know he really enjoys what he does and cares for his clients. Will recommend to anyone looking for a day tour in Seward!

Seward sits at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Alaskan Kenai Peninsula, backed by steep mountains. It was founded in 1903 as the starting point of a railroad into Alaska's interior and named for William Seward, the US Secretary of State who arranged the purchase of Alaska.
