Great - My visit to Ketchikan, Alaska, was an unforgettable culinary journey. The tasting experience featured an exceptional variety of flavors. What truly stood out, beyond the incredible food, was the warmth and friendliness of the people. The staff’s attention to detail and genuine hospitality created a welcoming and unforgettable atmosphere. Ketchikan is a must-visit gem in Alaska for anyone looking to savor outstanding salmon while being surrounded by great people.

First time in Alaska and a great experience. - Loved the lumberjack show, culinary experience was great, and Tom, our guide, was very good and a very compassionate, kind person. Tom shared a lot of knowledge and touching stories of life in Ketchikan and surrounding areas. Everything went quite smoothly. Even the weather cooperated.

Fascinating and educational insight into Tlingit culture. - Saxman village dance presentation and totem park. A very well-presented tour. The guide, Yeil, gave us a lot of insight into Tlingit life, tradition and culture. The dance show was amazing, especially as it included several different generations so that the young maintain their culture. The way that the youngsters had been taught and fully understood the meaning of the different dances was clearly evident. The totem poles were fantastic, Yeil explained the meaning behind each pole and we were also able to see a traditional carver at work who gave us an explanation of the type of wood that is used and carving techniques. All in all an excellent experience that we would happily repeat.

Interesting day in Ketchikan - Enjoyed the lumberjack show and quick service to the village. The local food and drinks were nice, as well as the art and history. We would have liked to have a quick opportunity to see the totems that we learned about. One drawback is that our tour guide was new (I'm assuming) and didn't know the flow or any of the talking points and we had to join up with another group.

Disappointing tour - Very disappointed with this tour. Lumberjack show was good. Rest of tour poor. Tour guide was an amateur. Artifacts at cultural center mostly reproductions. Some hats were obviously new style with beads added. Food was a venison hot dog and a fish soup that was cold. Very expensive tour for not much in return.

Disappointed in Ketchikan - I cannot recommend this tour. Extremely disorganized and disappointing. We were shuffled around and finally added to another group. Everyone was confused including the guide. The lumberjack show was entertaining but that’s about it. The “culinary experience” was some crackers, chips, a hot dog and barely warm chowder. The entrance to the Saxman village is a sad display of a few artifacts. The lady leading the culinary experience didn’t know answers to questions. I highly suggest booking another tour.
