Best driver and tour! - Alex helped point me in the right direction so I could make it on time for the tour, I was picked up by Millie and she was the perfect driver for someone that's never been here, she pointed out cool things on the drive, and answered any questions we had. I wish every driver was like her. 10/10 !!!!!!

A Must See in Ketchikan!! - I must see experience. Our driver Tom was so knowledgeable and native of the area. Tom pointed out many interesting sites along the way to the cannery. Once at the cannery, Kavitha and Daniel were awesome hosts. A unique experience that we won’t forget.

Great trip ! - This was a wonderful tour. Our guide, Thomas was a so knowledgeable telling us about the history of the Saxman Village, explaining the meaning of each of the totem poles on display. He shared his knowledge about the Tlingit native peoples history and culture – we found it fascinating.
We then travelled to Historic George Inlet Cannery where we learned about the history of the cannery and how it operated – fascinating trip. The best was yet to come – we had a food tasting session with Kavita as well as the option of a beer or soft drinks. All in all a great trip.

Cannery and Totems - My wife and I had a wonderful time during this tour. We got to see how the salmon cannery worked in its hay day. They served us some delicious appetizers and even had a nice cold brew!
The totem part of the tour was fantastic!!! Our guide Kavita was super knowledgeable and gave us some insider information. Great story teller.

Great experience. Sam was awesome :) - Sam gave an excellent tour of the cannery and Saxman totem pole park.
The time we spent driving flew by as she shared awesome stories of Ketchikan and the Native Alaskians.
The cannery was super cool! We saw several orcas, eagles, and sitka black tailed deer.
The smores stout was delicious, one of my all time favorite stouts. It literally tasted like a marshmallow that was slow roasted around a camp fire.
The short walk in the forest was beautiful and the waterfall took my breath away.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get the most out of their time in Ketchikan.
