My girlfriend and I experienced the Real Alaska Tour with Seavey's Ididaride as part of an overnight trip from Anchorage through the Alaska Railraod. The Seavey tour started with a guided walk through of one of Seavey's Iditarod dog sled training sites. The friendly staff answered all of our questions as they showed us around the facility. As we sat in a cart, the dogs pulled us around a trail as the trainer answered questions and told us about the dogs, they stopped to take pictures for those that had cameras, and we had an opportunity afterwards to pet the dogs and interact with some puppies! The tour finished up by a show and tell session where all the equipment for the dogs and the sled was shown and explained. It was well worth the time and much preferred to spending a whole day on a boat seeing wild life from time to time. The training facility portion was engaging and I didn't ever feel bored. Lunch at the Resurrection Road House was delicious (I had the burger), and the sights just outside the restaurant are as phenomenal as advertized. We finished up with a short hike to Exit Glacier, and Joe did an excellent job leading the way and taking care of our group. It was a welcomed adventure after a fun but long sight seeing train and boat day the day before!

The Real Alaska Tour had several components, including a scenic (and narrated) round-trip train ride from Anchorage. The views from the train are gorgeous and very majestic. There aren't any bad seats, but the even numbered seats will provide you with a full picture window, while the odd numbered seats have a bar going through (not a big deal to most people as the windows are still plenty large on either side of the bar, but perhaps worth noting). If you want nice views of Turnagain Arm, be sure to sit on the right side of the train on the way to Seward and on the left side on the way back. Although, there are gorgeous views from all sides! There is narration throughout the trip and the train slows down if wildlife is spotted. We saw some bald eagles and a moose. Apparently, there was also two bears on the side of a mountain, but they looked like little black specks to me (bring your binoculars!) The best views are from the open area in the very back of the train or the open areas in between the cars. If you don't want to bundle up each time, then the domed cars on top also have good views, and there were always places available even though people moved around quite a bit. We started with a nice breakfast in the dining car, but then moved around the train a lot. They tell you to wait to go eat until the announcement is made (they apparently call the cars down one at a time), but we had a lunch scheduled so it was important that we eat breakfast as early as possible. I didn't get anywhere trying to explain this to the staff, so as soon as the train started moving, we just went ahead to the dining car ourselves. It was empty, so we had our pick of where to sit for the best view, the waiters were fabulous, and the food was delicious (although they had none of the advertised reindeer sausage). We had pre-paid vouchers, which tuned out to be a better deal than ordering straight from the menu would have been. We were met at the train station in Seward by a guide with a bus. After taking our lunch orders, he took us straight to the sled dogs. I'm glad that I had read some if the former reviews as I had a better idea of what to expect. There were dozens of slender dogs tied to huge plastic barrels. When we first arrived, it was really quiet. However, as soon as we came into view, the dogs started barking; they all wanted to be hitched up to the sleds. We were divided into groups of 5-8, and loaded onto the "sleds". Fortunately, the weather cooperated and, even though it was cloudy, there was no rain. After the ride, we got to pet the dogs and pose for pictures (the guide even stopped halfway through the ride and took pictures of everyone using their own cameras). Then, we got the chance to cuddle the puppies, which were utterly adorable. Finally, there was a demonstration of how to put mushing gear on, both on a very patient dog and a volunteer from the audience. I volunteered and had fun with it! After a delicious lunch (definitely recommend the chowder and roadhouse salad combo!), we went to Exit Glacier. By voting, our group selected the "easy hike", which was not much more than a stroll. I think that the difficulty level of the other hiking options was perhaps exaggerated a bit. Either way, it was very enjoyable and culminated in a nice viewing area where we took some good pictures of the glacier. Our next stop was at a river, where we got to see the salmon jumping up a waterfall, and then watch them being processed (separated by gender, counted, etc) inside a little building. Before dropping us back at the train station, we did a quick (10-15 minute) drive through of the town. Don't expect much from this part of the tour; it's a small town. And they were preparing for their big 4th of July race, so a lot of the streets were blocked off. We got back to the train with plenty of time to spare. We went to the dining car almost as soon as the train left the station and had a nice meal. The trip back was very similar to the trip out. I saw some wild eagles in a nest and lots of gorgeous views while my husband napped.

We took the Alaska Railroad to Seward and booked the "Real Alaska Tour" excursion. Our driver/tour guide, Joe Allen, was terrific. Full if energy and great Alaskan stories! After we arrived our first stop was the Seavey's IdidaRide Sled Dog Tour. Our guides at Seavey's were actual Ididarod participants so they could answer all our questions. We saw sled dog puppies, went on a sled dog ride and learned all sorts of details about the annual Ididarod race. After that we enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Resurrection Roadhouse & then went hiking at Exit Glacier. It was a great day in Seward and I would recommend this package to anyone visiting Alaska. I live in Alaska and I would book this tour again anytime!
