Focusing on Ketchikan Photos - Mikki was our guide, and was so easy to be around and open to all 9 tourists. She had truly studied the geography and history of Ketchikan, along with providing simple and effective photographic tips. We had cell phones while several people had fancy telephoto cameras, and Mikki mingled with all. We loved the variety of our destinations, but especially Totem Park. The coconut/macadamia nut/chocolate chip cookies were an unexpected delicious treat. "Oh, Mikki, you're so fine" is a song lyric that applied to this excellent guide, driver, and photographer!

Fantastic - Fantastic opportunity to visit iconic Ketchikan and several off the beaten path locations. Photo guide Brock, has a wealth of local knowledge and the ability to connect with people. The group size was perfect for learning and practicing new techniques. There were many locations and opportunities to explore during our trip.

Not what expected. - Not at all what i expected. It should be titled helpful tips to use the camera on your phone. I was expecting them to take us to some awesome places to take pictures. Knowing what I now know I wouldn’t go if it were free.

Voted 'Best Excursion of our 2024 Family Vacation' - This was the best tour of our trip. Randy was a great guide: personable, knowledgeable and attentive to our individual interests. Even my 12 year old daughter was completely engaged. We all really appreciated Randy's professional photography tips and encouragement as we put them into practice at multiple historic, fun and beautiful locations. Thanks Randy for a fabulous and memorable day!

Personalized photo tour of Ketchikan! - Josh was a great guide! He took us to places that the average tourist doesn’t see. He also provided guidance on how to take the best camera and iPhone photos. I highly recommend this tour. It was a wonderful experience.

Photo Adventure - Cloudy day was a bit of a downer but our guide was very good. Knowledgeable about photo techniques. Saw whales, eagles, one deer in town and a bear in a distance. Small group. Overall, worth the money!

A very pleasant morning with photographic rewards - The orca sightings were pretty much unexpected, but were well worthwhile. Also, we managed to keep away from the big tourist groups.

Great Photo Sites and Photo Tips - Lots of great sites, but I would have loved to see more wildlife. Actually, I’d been to the totem pole park before, so unfortunately didn’t have much desire for additional photos there (and we spent a substantial amount of the time there). Randy’s photography tips were great and useful, but, as i’m sure you heard before, I would love to have had more.
