I had a great time seeing the sights in Anchorage and the surrounding areas. Russ was a great tour guide, and took us on an "earthquake tour" throughout the downtown area. It was fascinating to learn how severely Anchorage was affected by the 1964 earthquake.
In addition, Russ took us around residential areas in Anchorage and pointed out what he perceived as each participant's dream house :) (he was spot on, in case you're wondering.) We saw animals in a wilderness preserve, took a scenic drive down beautiful Seward Highway, and stopped for photos along the way. We also went to a little fishing town called Whittier for lunch, and learned about the unique way of life for the residents.
I was a solo traveler (in AK for business), and this was a great way to see the city and surrounding areas without having to worry about driving or creating an itinerary. It truly is a fantastic way to see Anchorage in one day. Only caveat - there is no opportunity for souvenir shopping. You'll have to do that on your own time.

I am pleased to hear you enjoyed your adventure. I think I enjoy the tour just as much as my guests. Sorry, I hate to shop! :-) Cheers, Russ
