Juneau City Bus Tour - Alicia is the bus driver for this excursion. She did a very good job of driving. She also did a good job of narrating the trip, local sights and history, etc. Originally my wife was to go with me but she got sick and had to stay with the cruise ship. I called the company and they very graciously canceled her trip and returned her fare. Alicia, the driver, gave some samples of salmon jerky, free drinking water, local candy samples, etc. Highlights of the excursion were the Mendenhall Glacier, the fish hatchery, and the whale park with it's life-size whale sculpture. There are lots of eagles in the area and the only complaint I have is that you don't really have the ability to get good photos of them from the bus windows while moving at highway speed.i really liked the tour and highly recommend it. I also felt that it was one of the more reasonable price tours here in Juneau. *Thanks Alicia!

Perfect intro to Juneau - Your tour guide is always the most important part of a tour. Alicia was so warm, witty and knowledgeable - a year-round local for the past 25 years! We jumped on the tour on a whim so we didn't really know what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised that it included things like a view of the glacier, a tour of the fishery and a stop at the whale statue. Overall we definitely got our money's worth. It was a nice addition to a busy day! Alicia was the best, the bus was brand new, and we even got salmon jerky and other little gifts.

We really enjoyed our... - We really enjoyed our excursion. This excursion was fairly short (1.5 hours) and reasonably priced. The bus was very nice and the driver/guide was friendly and informative. I recommend this tour especially if you want to do another excursion the same day.

Alicia Best Tour Guide! - What an awesome tour! We have taken a lot of city tours when we travel and Alicia has by far been the best tour guide! She’s fun and informative. It’s a great tour when you are in town for just a few hours - Alicia knows so much about Juneau! Highly recommend!

Alicia in Juneau Was Awesome!!! - Very entertaining and informative tour. Our tour guide and driver Alicia was great! Even with a bus full she made sure we saw and were educated on all things Juneau. The treats (water, salmon jerky, and a commemorative coin) were an added plus! Highly recommend!

Our tour guide/bus driver... - Our tour guide/bus driver was terrific, its just that the weather was uncooperative, and we got to the salmon hatchery at closing and didn't get to learn much. The crabs were cute, though!
