About Us

History

Founded in 1969 by David H. Knightly, Knightly Tours has grown from its roots in Anchorage into the oldest independently owned Alaska tour wholesaler. From the very beginning, our focus has been creating a wide variety of customized itineraries, blending rail, motorcoach, cruises, and more to craft the ultimate Alaska vacation.

As Alaska has become a premier destination for independent travelers, we’ve remained committed to serving those who want more than mass tourism. With over 200 years of combined experience, our team brings unmatched expertise—most of us have lived in Alaska and all have traveled it extensively. This deep knowledge of the state, its culture, and its unique attractions allows us to design experiences that truly let you see Alaska your way.

When you choose Knightly Tours, you gain the freedom, flexibility, and personal guidance that no other Alaska travel company can match. We are proud members of the Alaska Travel Industry Association and the American Society of Travel Advisors.
