Additional Information

The Ultimate Food Tour in Anchorage!

We start our journey in the modern day and gradually step back into the late 19th century, discovering the rich history of the state fondly known as the Land of the Midnight Sun through anecdotes of the people who resided here.

Embark on a culinary journey through the heart of Anchorage downtown with us and get absorbed in the unique culture and flavors this city has to offer.

Our knowledgeable guide is here to take you through a gastronomic exploration of Alaska’s most culturally-diverse city.

As we saunter through, our guide will regale you with fascinating tales about life in this magnificent expanse.

Often referred to as ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’, we are virtually a million miles away from Washington, the closest US state, making the awe-inspiring landscapes and rare wildlife a truly unique spectacle found nowhere else in the country.

Given these facts, it isn’t entirely surprising that Alaskan food culture radiates a unique charm by itself.

  • *This tour requires moving on your own or with assistance (wheelchair) for 15 - 20 minutes at a time. Though seating at establishments is often available, it is not guaranteed. This tour is not suitable for guests who cannot move or stand on their own or with assistance for a period of 3 - 4 hours. People with hip problems, knee issues or other mobility problems should not take the tour.
  • Unfortunately, we are unable to cater to those with special dietary restrictions (e.g. vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.). The locations we visit and food we offer change frequently and sometimes with little notice. This makes it extremely difficult to make sure alternatives are available.
  • Warning: We are not responsible for any food allergies or restrictions. If you have any, it is up to you to make sure that the food you eat on our tours doesn’t trigger your allergies. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Good food and drinks… great time! - Shannon gave us a wonderful tour and took us to places with great food and drinks. Shannon had to create an alternative plan at the beginning of our tour and she did deliver with flying colors. It was our first time in Alaska and our very first tour and we enjoyed our time and learned a lot. Shannon was amazing, very articulate and full of energy!

Enjoyable and Tasty Way to Explore Anchorage Alaska for an afternoon - My wife and I really enjoyed the afternoon food tour of Anchorage. Our guide Shannon was really great. We tend to include food tours whenever we travel to different places, and this one was as good as they get. Thanks!

Great way to start a visit to Anchorage - The tour was a perfect way to start our visit to Anchorage, learn some local history, and sample great food (which was plentiful). Shannon did an excellent job telling us stories of the area and historic people who made it special. Shannon also did a great job of making recommendations of both restaurants and activities for the rest of our visit. We highly recommend this tour.

Taste of Anchorage - Shannon was great! But your blurb says that all food and drinks were included but we did not get drinks. I was expecting to sample a local brew.

Great walking tour and good food - It was a great way to spend a fun afternoon. We felt like we were being shown around Anchorage by friends. The stories were very entertaining and we learned quite a bit about the history of the area. The food was delicious and it was fun to try local fare. This was one of our favorite activities during our week-long visit to Alaska. We would highly recommend for anyone visiting Anchorage.
