A fun time was had by all! - This was one of the most fun tours I've been on in quite some time. Our guide, Austin, was super knowledgeable about the history of each place we visited, he kept our group entertained and a fun time was had by all! We were lucky to have a small group of us which added to the personal service. Each location had a very interesting history, and hearing about it from someone who grew up there made it that much more interesting.

Great Excursion! - My husband and I were looking for a short excursion in Ketchikan that would give us a bit of a taste of the more local things after the Lumberjack Show. Our guide, Austin, was super engaging and made it a great experience! We went to 3 bars and enjoyed hearing a bit about each one, plus seeing older pictures of the bars/people/etc. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Ketchikan!

Let’s go drinking - This was a fun tour were you sampled some local adult concoctions and heard a bit of history of the bars in Ketchikan. Sasha was terrific and charming. Winning smile and personality. And here’s to the “Happy Bear” (ask Sasha about her family connection to that one), Sour Dough and the Totem!

Great way to start the day in Ketchikan! - This was an excursion booked through our cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife and I are in our mid-40s and this looked like something that would be fun. Our guide was Hamish and he was fantastic - funny, had great stories about the area, what it's like to live there and is a true local. If Weird Al Yankovic and Ketchikan local legend, Dolly had a child it would look like Hamish we think (he told us we could have fun with any review so there you go, Hamish). We visited a few bars and everyone in our group seemed to have a great time. The bars were very welcoming to our group and we found some great, unique signature drinks. This is well worth doing when you're in Ketchikan!

Great time day drinking - My hubby and I took this as an excursion for our cruise stop in Ketchikan. Our guide was Savannah. Even though the cruise stop was very early and we had limited amount of time due to the on board time for the cruise ship, we had so much fun visiting 3 different bars. Savannah gave us a little bit of history for each bar and the first round was on her!! Everyone was very friendly and we really enjoyed sampling the local beers. Definitely will take this tour again next time we’re back!!!
