Guide was more than nice. Only one spot, herring cove, to spot bears. Van was musty smelling. Good tour, but not for the price

We had an amazing 3-hour private tour in Ketchikan, Alaska, for our group of 13, and our guide, Glenda, made it unforgettable! She was right on time, waiting for us at the agreed pick-up spot—literally right where the ship docks at Ward Cove. For those sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line, this is a huge plus—you can skip the shuttle and long lines into downtown and start your adventure immediately. Glenda had snacks and drinks ready for both the kids and adults, which was such a thoughtful touch. She was incredibly flexible, adjusting the itinerary to match the places we wanted to see, and her local knowledge made the experience even richer. We got to witness the incredible salmon run, spot bears, see beautiful totems, admire a scenic waterfall, and stroll through the charming Creek Street. The pace was perfect, and we never felt rushed. Glenda’s friendly personality and expertise made the day so enjoyable for everyone in our group. Highly recommend booking with Glenda if you want a stress-free, personalized, and memorable Ketchikan experience!

Cassie our guide did an amazing job and knew all the places to take us to see the beautiful things Alaska has to offer. We saw tons of salmon, a black bear eating his morning breakfast, totems poles and shared so much knowledge. She was very welcoming and made our experience to Ketchikan one to remember
