There is reason why PicTours Alaska keeps winning the #1 awards in tourist attractions: Bob, the owner, is the BEST at what he does! If you're going to Anchorage booking PicTours is a MUST! He picks you up wherever you are staying and drives a van that is clean & comfortable to go sightseeing in. Every seat has a window so you won't miss the sights. Bob is passionate about wildlife, flora, and glaciers. He knows where to track animals so guests can take photographs. Aside from the fantastic wildlife, stories and locations Bob took us he taught us how to use our cell phone to take excellent photos. Personally, I LOVE taking pictures & after his tutoring I started using his tips throughout the rest of the trip. His methods should be patented! The entire tour is worth how he teaches you to look at subjects in a whole new, refreshing way. We chose to do a private tour for 6 hours as we were celebrating my husband's accomplishment of seeing all 50 states with Alaska as the last. It is the crown jewel. Bob is gracious, hospitable and extremely knowledgeable. He concludes the tour with some surprises that I don't want to give away. It's a joyful day filled with everything you could hope for if you're visiting Alaska for the 1st or 10th time. Bring comfortable walking shoes and clothing layers + scarf. Bob brings water & light snacks; however, we brought our own. There's really not time to stop & have lunch so plan accordingly. Believe me, you won't miss it. The time flies and you wish it lasted longer. The centerpiece of the trip was going to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center & getting amazing photos of bears. If you're planning a trip to Anchorage reserve this tour ASAP!
