This is so well worth the money for a family. Having a full day before our cruise left gave us the opportunity to see some of Anchorage before starting out toward Seward. Our driver Bill couldn't have been nicer. He did everything we wanted him to do including stopping downtown for a little shopping. Also we got a discount stopping at the Wildlife Conservation Center. When we got to Seward we had a few minutes and he even drove us downtown to stop in a store so we could get a couple of items from Seward. I am so glad I got the private car and not just a bus ride.
