The views were amazing! I took the cruise on Portage and it was so great. The guides explained us so many things such as history, animals, and geography. She also took many pictures of us. Only I wish I could had more time at Wild Conservation Center. We had an hour there. 20min guide on the car and 40min free time. I wanted had more free time though I enjoyed the entire tour.

An amazing tour. Juls was our guide, her knowledge was incredible for everything Alaska! She genuinely cared for her clients and went above and beyond in ensuring we had a great experience and got the most from our touring. Seeing the animals up close at the Wilderness Wildlife Centre was great (especially the bears!) and I’m so glad I added the Portage glacier cruise, that was spectacular. We were even lucky enough to see a wild black bear. Thoroughly recommend it

I took anchorage to wilderness wildlife and glacier tour with PicTours Alaska, Inc. We visited many amazing places along the Turnagain Arm highway to Portage glacier. Took tons of pictures, made many stops and learnt a lot about wildlife and Alaska nature, history and people. Grace was our tour guide. She did a great job to make the group safe, comfortable and entertained. We had snacks, water, she even got us little presents. Grace took pics of the group and individually and she shared some tips how to make phone pics better. Her stories were informative and enlightening. I highly recommend her as the tour guide as I enjoyed this tour.

I highly recommend (10/10) this tour if you have time in Anchorage. We arrived Monday evening for our land/sea CruiseTour that begins with Wednesday night stay in Anchorage hotel. PicTour was scheduled for Tuesday and began at 11:00 so our morning was not rushed. Grace was an excellent Adventure Guide and driver and photographer and photography teacher! She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Alaska and did a great job of pointing out things I would have missed on my own—eagles, moose in a marsh, doll sheep on high cliffs, glaciers visible between mountain ridges. A big bonus was that she sent us photos from our tour. The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is worth a visit (part of this tour).
