A Great Way to Get to Know Yellowknife and her People

5.00Exceeded expectations. We learned about the indigenous population of the NWT (a subject neglected by the Alberta public school system when I was growing up way back in the last century:) Yellowknife is no longer the scrub town I remember when I visited over 40 years ago but a growing city contains over half the population of the NWT with some thoughtful, pragmatic but beautifully designed government buildings honoring the history and spirit of indigenous people. The museum is well designed and a highlight. Walking 88 steps up "The Rock" the highest point overlooking Yellowknife and the Great Slave Lake is a must: very vile that day but fun. Our guide Verda made our tour a great experience. If you have never been to Yellowknife or like me--have not been to Yellowknife in a long time--I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour.
Good way to see and learn about Yellowknife

5.00Well organized tour. It seems like all the tours go to all the same places - Pilot Monument, the Visitor Center, the Legislative Building and the Prince of Wales Museum. My only criticism was I wish I had more time at the Prince of Wales Museum. It is really nice museum. I’m not sure but I think this is the only tour that goes to the Nature’s North Wildlife Gallery and that is why this city tour costs a little more than the rest. But the wildlife gallery is amazing and it was worth the extra cost! It is a world class and apparently award winning duo who are experts in taxidermy. The animals are artistically and beautifully mounted. Every single species of all the animals that habitat the NWT is in this shop. I learned a lot of to art of taxidermy and we were able to feel the different animal pelts.
