Perfect tour ! - We had a wonderful time on the tour with Johnny as our guide. He is a native to the area and could have been more knowledgeable! He really went over and beyond to provide a great tour for us. I highly recommend this locally owned company.

Highly Recommend! - This is a father and daughter company. Therefore, you are in a small personable group. They grew up on the island, so they are very knowledgeable and passionate about Ketchekan! They are also very helpful! They let us bring our car seat for our baby! A bonus, we saw a bear!

Lexi is Awesome!! Great Tour! - I had a great time with our tour guide Lexi!! She was authentic, welcoming, and gave you a wealth of information. She is fun to be around and had me cracking up! She was eager to make sure we had a good time! She picked up starfish for us to check out and went out of her way to make sure we really enjoyed ourselves. She even gave me an amazing necklace that her Father made that I have been wearing everyday, in exchange for something from my hometown (New Orleans). What a great way to support local businesses that are from Ketchikan. The waterfall, the tide pool, the Saxman graveyard & info, … all of it was a great memory that makes me think fondly of Ketchikan and it’s people. Thanks Lexi! I highly recommend this tour!

GREAT TOUR GUIDE! - While we didn’t get to see any wildlife it’s because we came early in the season. However our tour guide Alexis made up for it! She was so sweet and explained stories to us about Ketchikan and took us to a museums at the end of our trip! She faces us awesome tips on where to eat and what to do!

GREAT TOUR! - The tour guide Alexis was so sweet and funny! We went in earlier May, we didn’t go during salmon season so we didn’t get to see much wildlife. However we did have a great time while Alexis took us to see some waterfalls and to a museum at the end of the tour! It was a very informative tour and the van was nice and clean! It was just my boyfriend and I so we got a private tour and it was awesome! We recommend everyone to check Over The Top Tours when in Ketchikan Alaska!

Tour does match description - Guides were knowledgeable and friendly, however, one of the main reasons for booking this tour was the Saxmen Totem Park and Saxmen Native Village. We drove past some totem poles but never stopped at the park or the village. Not sure why but we were very disappointed that the tour did match the description.
