Alaskan Sights and Bites — Local services in Alaska

Booked the chocolate and wine tour with Alaskan Sights and Bites. We had a group of 6 people with a mixture of 20 somethings and 50 somethings. We had a great time exploring two newer local businesses offering fun and entertaining options to explore. The tour was at an easy to reach location downtown and Chris was early to help us get oriented. The van was more than large enough and very clean. We met some friendly folks from out of town and shared a good time at both locations. The chocolates were amazing and included some local sourcing of sea salt, amazing. The wines were plentiful and so many options to choose from that every palate was satisfied. With time to spare Chris drove us near the airport to look for moose and sure enough we saw an impressive bull walking down the trail. Even as locals we never tire of seeing them! We would recommend this to tourists and locals alike. Helping to support local businesses that are working hard to create memorable experiences is fun...

Being the last tour of the season, we had the tour to ourselves. Sourdough Dan was personable, down to earth, and just a cool dude to spend the morning with.

Unlike some food tours I've taken in other cities that take you to spots that are less busy just so we can get in (regardless of quality), Dan took us to some of the most popular and must try spots in the city. Many of his spots were already on my try list and hitting them all with Dan was great. All the options were great, with a good mix of sweets and savory items. There was a little bit of walking, but no excessive distances. There was so much food on the tour that we did not have to eat any additional breakfast or lunch.

I will say this wasn't a particularly informative tour, but Sourdough Dan had some amazing stories that was really able to communicate and convey the culture and heart of local and native Alaskans.

All in all this was a great tour, with great food, and a wonderful tour guide. Would...

First I want to say that this was an amazing day. I would definitely recommend this tour! I’m very particular about the food I eat while I didn’t enjoy everything I did find many parts that I did enjoy eating. I plan on going back to one of the places just to try what I had again. I think you would definitely need to go with people who make you laugh and don’t take things to seriously. It just makes the tour better when you have good company. Second, I really appreciated the personal touch that was included by our host Dan. I really resonated with his story and passion for doing something that he loves. At the end of our tour I found out that Dan had already done another tour for that day and you cannot even tell! He was so involved and funny throughout the tour I would have never known. It’s a growing business and I’m glad I got to experience the fresh beginnings. Thank you Dan for a...
