Wonderful! Bernie was very flexible and understanding. She made sure that our mom who is mainly in a wheelchair was able to see as much as possible. She shared so much about the Ketchikan area. I would definitely encourage others to have her as their local guide!

This tour was a complete disappointment. We have been on many Viator tours and this was one we wished we didn't book. I would not recommend spending your money on this tour. Bernie was our tour guide she was doing her best to show us Ketchikan , We basically went for a three hour car ride and saw pretty much nothing . We were shown where a bear was yesterday.

Sorry for your disappointment. We cannot control wildlife and Iām sorry you didnt enjoy the views of what Ketchikan has to offer or the stories and character.

We saw 8 bears. Bernie shared her awesome binoculars. At the end we had a few minutes left so she drove us around town and shared her love of her hometown. Awesome!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you all ! Iām so glad we saw lots of bears and the binoculars make it closer to enjoy. š it was an awsome day!

The owner decided to do the tour for us. Thought it would be better. We stopped at all the places other tourists stopped at with their tours. She took us not far from the city to see if she could find us bears between houses in a rural area. Yikes! Then stopped at a friend's house along the water (friend wasn't there) to look out at the bay and use the port-a-pots if we needed to. Believe it or not, it was the most expensive of all the tours we had during our Alaska vacation. Tour guide may have been more concerned about getting back home to can her salmon.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Iām sorry but going to Herring Cove is on the itinerary and the one place that has a toilet is where we went and she is an aqaintence in the business world and makes fantastic jelly and jams from berries that grow at Herring Cove nothing more than that. Iām not quite sure where you wanted to go, of course other tours are at the best spots in town. And telling you about jarring salmon is something a lot of us that live here do in Ketchikan. Wow. Sorry for your disappointment

Very average tour. Took us to the hot spots. Saw a bit of wildlife. Guide was a glorified taxi driver who provided just very basic info
Response from Host, Aug 2025

Our driver, Bernadette, is lovely and very experienced. we especially loved the way she showed us around real life in Ketchigan, but expected a bit more of wild life, but they can't be forced!

Loved our guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. She called for the bears and they came! Some slight changes to the itinerary..saw salmon village instead of potluck but saw it all none the less wven with a side trip for a luggage stop. Thank you!!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
