Aperçu
We have 98% Five Star Reviews! Check out our profile!

Walk the Spenard neighborhood of Anchorage learning the true crime history of the late 1960s & the early 1970s Anchorage underground. Brothels, bars, strip clubs, and gambling joints were on every corner. Mobsters, ladies of the night, bikers, and con artists all trying to make a buck. Oh, did we mention serial killers?

This Spenard True Crime Tour covers some of the history and people mentioned in Johnny’s Girl, a nationally acclaimed memoir by Kim M. Rich. This fascinating book tells the tale of an ordinary girl living an extraordinary childhood in Anchorage, AK during this time period.

Kim’s father, John F. “Johnny” Rich was a major player in the underworld of Anchorage, Alaska in the 1960’s. Her mother was Frances “Ginger” Rich, an exotic dancer and B-girl who suffered from mental illness.

Kim’s father was murdered when she was 15, a consequence of his lifestyle. This true story is the perfect companion piece for this tour.

Nous marcherons dans le quartier de Spenard à Anchorage. Célèbre pour ses clubs, ses bars, ses bordels et pour être le centre de la débauche à l'époque du boom des pipelines.

Having done a number of food tours across various different cities, I found this one to be better than most. Even though the Spenard tour has fewer stops than the downtown tour I appreciated the abundance of food provided and the quality was top notch. Dan was a great guide with a good sense of humor and shared the unsavory past with respect as well as intrigue. Highly recomend to folks who have an afternoon free in Anchorage.

It's a delight to hear such high praise from a seasoned food tour enthusiast! We're thrilled that our Spenard tour stood out in terms of the quality and abundance of food. Dan is indeed a wonderful guide, and we're glad that his storytelling style and humor resonated with you. Sharing the history, including its darker aspects, in a respectful yet engaging way is something we aim for. Your recommendation is truly appreciated and will inspire us to keep improving our tours. We'd love to welcome you back should you find yourself with another free afternoon in Anchorage. Thank you for your support! Best regards, Chris Morris

Dan took us around Anchorage. The food, his stories, and his personality were fantastic! He gave us a history of the city, a look into the background of its people's, as well as personal stories of his upbringing. These insights, along with great food and a perfect-weather day, resulted in a memorable experience.
