The Sprinter is full and quite tight in space; a regular big bus would be more comfortable for such loner trip; but I guess this is my fault to think we would have more space since it’s more expensive.
No tram and lunch option? Driver doesn’t know anything about that. It’s just a lunch stop at a restaurant……
No walking visit to the glacier……
Basically only stop at the wildlife center and lunch and a few photo/bathroom stops…..not exactly what I think it should be according to the advertised itinerary….. but may be it’s my misunderstanding……..
I will recommend just take four hour the big bus to go from port to Anchorage with only the wildlife center stop with ant bus transfer company.

My train from Seward to Anchorage was cancelled last minute and I didn't want to just take a shuttle bus so i searched for a small group tour and this one did not disappoint! James was absolutely wonderful. He was so educational and so funny. It was a small group of 11 people which was perfect. I was bummed when I got the alert that my train was cancelled but after that tour, I'm glad I went. 10/10 would recommend!

James offered us a fantastic, personalized experience! We appreciated the thoughtful touches- toilet paper and hand sanitizer for the the rest stops, Bear spray for the hike (saw a bear!) and good communication to arrange pickup. We will use him again!

We were looking for a way to see the Alaska Wildlife Center and all the sites in between on our way from Seward to Anchorage and this tour did not disappoint. We appreciated the convenient door to door service and ability to customize our trip with a knowledgeable Alaska guide. James even stopped at a grocery store in Anchorage so we could stock up for our stay. The car was comfortable and clean. James was great with our toddler passenger, who remembers the trip fondly: "I want more trail mix from the white car".

I have been coming to Alaska as a visitor for the last 5 summers. There has never really been a good option for Seward to Anchorage travel - until now! Not only is the method of transportation extremely comfortable, but it's definitely an upgrade to anything else in the area. On top of that, James is an incredible conversationalist and knows so much about the area. Cannot recommend enough for your next trip. Don't hesitate to book.

James was 5 star and beyond! He provided a transfer from Seward to Anchorage after our cruise. James loves Alaska and it shows in every story, every nugget of information. We peppered him with questions and he never seemed to tire of answering them. It was an unexpected gift to have him at the end of our cruise. We stopped at numerous spots along the way, got out for pictures, stopped at a perfect spot for lunch. The weather was cold and wet and it didn’t matter…James made the best of everything! I hated to see our day come to an end. It was perfect. Thank you James!
