Best tour we have ever been on. I highly recommend Art and Rainy Day Tours. - Art was an incredible tour guide. He is an Alaskan native. He knew where to take us to make our tour one of the most memorable we have been on. We saw a whale, an eagle, and a black bear. He did a great job narrating our tour. He was early and did not rush us to get back to our ship. If I ever go back to Ketchican I will be sure to use Art again.

BEST excursion on our 9-day cruise. BOOK thiis 1! - Thank you, Art, for a wonderful morning, giving us your special attention to the things we most wanted to see:: the search of bears, eagles & totems. We were successful on 2 of 3! And, especially for sharing your ancestry with us. It was mesmerizing. This was the most inspiring excursion we have had on our 9-day cruise.

Amazing Tour! - We had Art as our tour guide. He was FANTASTIC! Being native to Alaska he knew all the ins and outs! We told him we didn’t care where we went, we just wanted to see cool stuff. He took us to see 2 black bears who were catching their prey(salmon) and feasting, he took us to an amazing beach/park area where we saw amazing views, baby crabs, starfish, crystal rocks, and clams. He then took us to a gorgeous waterfall and rain forest, then to see TONS of salmon. They were swimming everywhere! We even saw them jumping! ….. then to a totem park and gift shop. We got great pictures, great conversations, tons of laughs and a perfect day! We could not have asked for a better tour!!

Art had a great knowledge... - Art had a great knowledge of the area and history of the town. He was open to go anywhere we desired and taught us about the local berries and plants. Also took us on a short hike by a waterfall where the locals get their drinking water. Art was awesome!
