5.00We had a great deal of fun on this excursion. We drove. around the city and learned a lot of history and interesting facts about the city. It was a very strange sensation when our 'bus' just drove into the water. We motored around for a while, getting a different view of Ketchikan, while the tour guide told us more about the city. That strange sensation returned again when our 'boat' drove out of the water and down the main street of Ketchikan. It was a lot of fun.
Duck Tour must do!

3.00The tour takes in the town and a slow punt on the water. I’ve been on ducks in most major cities and they are doing there best with what is in town, there is very little on the water and most interesting bits can be walked to. It’s a bit long and although Abigail cracked jokes and was loud and monosyllabic it’s not worth the money and time.
Friendly staff

5.00I would work with this company again in a split second!! They are on top of their game. They realized before I did that my cruise ship would be coming into a different port than originally planned. A port 7 miles away that would require having to get a shuttle bus which generally has a decent line of waiting and 20 minutes of travel to the downtown area. We never would have made it to the 8:00 a.m. tour. They 100% tried to accommodate us for a later tour. Just when you think there is little customer service anymore, they are a breath of fresh air.
Nice
