USS Anchorage Part 1 PKG for KTUU-TV
USS Anchorage Visit for KTUU-TV Anchorage Alaska shot by Mike Nederbrock
This is a tiger cruise by the US Navy for family of the men and women that serve on the ship.
Anchorage Trolley City Tour (4K)
We took the Anchorage Trolley Tour which gave a nice overview of the city. It was $20 per person (we paid cash to the driver before boarding). The starting point was easy to locate as it was right next to the Anchorage Visitor Information center which looks like a log cabin, an easy walk from where we were dropped off from our cruise shuttle. Anchorage was the mid-way point of our 14 day Alaska cruise aboard the Holland America Amsterdam in June of 2017.
We visited the airport near the lake and saw a float plane land, taxi, and another takeoff.
We definitely recommend this tour- the tour guide was very informative and you get a nice overview of Anchorage Alaska.
