Clark was the kindest and... - Clark was the kindest and had the most knowledge of the city. We learned about the city and were shuttled around to different locales—this was the best excursion off the cruise ship and we’ll come back just to take this tour with Clark

Amazing Tour of Ketchikan! - I had a great time and great tour. I learned so much about the history of Ketchikan and culture of the region. There was also plenty of time to explore on my own and take lots of pictures. It was a very memorable and excellent tour.

A great little tour - and an excellent guide - Clarke was on time at the pick up and gave us a very friendly welcome. Then he took us to all the sights on the list and gave us a very entertaining narrative on the way. We saw a bear at herring cove, a bald eagle up close, and had a great tour of the bight totem poles which he knew lots about. Then it ended with a walk around creek street and the fish ladder. Well done Clarke - a very good tour of some most memorable places. Just one comment - with the small historic walk state park you directed us to Clarke, please advise guests that it is required to pay to get in as it caused some confusion and it is not clear at the entrance. It’s only $5.

Great tour! - We enjoyed Clark’s knowledge of the area and easy conversations in our small group. He was easy to locate off the ship and very comfortable transport I love tours but it always seems like you need more time before you have to be back to the meeting place
