We needed transportation from Whittier to Seward for another cruise the same afternoon as we arrived in Whittier. Jean and her company was quick to respond and offered direct service rather than through Anchorage at reasonable price. Driver picked us up at 8:45 am as previously arranged and delivered us to Seward port before 11 am. Highly recommend this company.

Reviewed By I_Like_Cats_12 - San Antonio, United States

Great to see the longest tunnel in North America. It is a single lane tunnel where trains and traffic take turns. So be prepared to wait. It is $13 to go in and free on the way out.

Whittier is a great little town. It is nice to take a walk around the harbor, and maybe have lunch at one of the seaside restaurants.
