Great Tour and Guide - Alicia was so hospitable and knowledgeable. She took care to ensure we saw and knew about the major highlights. Views changed by the minute so she actually looped around so we could see a glacier the was not visible just minutes prior. It was great that drop off was either in the city or at the ship’s shuttle.

Alisha is the Best! - Pick up location point was easy to find, and staff were very organized. Our tour guide, Alisha, was outstanding! It was so obvious she loved her job and was proud of her city. She always had a beautiful smile and could answer any questions you asked. She gave us tips on where to eat a good lunch, where to ship fish home, where to buy fudge, souvenirs and much more. Her historical knowledge of the city was impressive! I would highly recommend this tour—in addition, it was a great value. P.S. I was using a Walker, and Alisha always helped me out of the bus and got my Walker for me. She really went above and beyond.

Poor meeting point directions and an Excellent tour of Ostia Antica - This is the second case in which poor directions to the meeting point caused us confusion. In Juneau recently, the green canopy was not there, and the replacement white canopy had no indications that it was the Viator check-in point. I found the check-in point after I asked a local person about it. This happened to us on an earlier trip to Mykonos where we missed the tour completely because of poor directions to the meeting point and no help from locals. On the other hand, we had a wonderful tour earlier on this trip to Ostia, Italy. This tour was one of the best we've ever done!

Ok - If you have just a short amount of time, this is a decent tour. We saw the Mendenhall glacier up close, then made a stop a few miles away to get fabulous photos of it! The whale statue is a must stop, but the stop in between, at the park across from the ships, was a waste of time. Constant jokes from the guide with little relevant or historical information, other than statements like, “that’s the capitol building, that’s the post office, that’s the union hall”.

Good way to see the sights! - The tour was a good way to see and learn about life in Juneau. We saw many bald eagles on our drive north of Juneau and had a short tour of the town. Our guide was knowledgeable of the area. The tour gave us a good appreciation of livng in the far north on the water's edge.

Ok not really worth the money - The bus driver pointed out major buildings around the town. Went too two attractions one a lookout and one statue of a whale but rather annoyingly kept trying to sell us his CD and photographs and tell poor jokes

A waste of our PRECIOUS short time in Juneau ! - Disappointed… It was just a bus ride looking at buildings, supposedly visiting the glacier - which was FAR AWAY - and a stop at the whale fountain. That was it !!! Waaaay too expensive for what was offered. Unfortunately, our precious short time in Juneau was wasted and shortened by this ‘excursion’
