Ketchikan Exclusive Private Group Tour (Price up to 11 Passengers)
"We had the best time on this private tour with Sid! Pickup was super easy and she was even there early which made it nice as we didn’t have a lot of time in Ketchikan. Of course this tour can be customized to whatever you want but right off the bat we got a good vibe from Sid and asked her to take us wherever she thought would be cool, she didn’t disappoint! Part of the appeal of going on a tour in Ketchikan is to learn about the indigenous peoples and we got one of the BEST experiences we could have asked for with Sid. Not only is she very knowledgeable she could also speak the language!! We learned a few words, the kids got a kick out of it. I can’t recommend this tour enough. There are a bunch of tours you can book through your cruise or right when you get off. They shovel you into big buses and take you around where you are hearing the same things you could read in the brochure they give you. If you want an authentic experience of Ketchikan, Do yourself a favor and book with Native tours, ask for Sid, You won’t be disappointed you did! Gunalchéesh"..."
