Wildlife & a tour guide that REALLY ENJOYS what he’s doing! - Kevin was our driver/tour guide. He handled all our expectations leaving late because we were waiting for another family to arrive. He tailored our experience to show us waterfalls, beaches and wildlife including a bear, harbor seals and we even saw humpback whales feeding about 100 yards offshore! Great time was had by all & we were back to the ship with time to spare! I highly recommend the Trolley Tour!

Ketchikan Wildlife and Totem pole tour - We had a great tour. Our guide was so full of information. The sights were beautiful. We saw salmon, harbor seals, and even a black bear. He did a great job reading the totem poles at Saxman village for us. I highly recommend this tour

Ketchikan Trolley Tour was exceptional! - The operator checked in with use to make sure we were not having any issues getting to the meetup point. He met us at pickup point and explained the trolley was a little behind due to the lateness of another passenger. The trolley showed up within a few minutes and off we went. The trolley driver (Kevin) has great knowledge of the area. He was very accommodating, making sure we had ample time to explore at each stop. There was a large Asian contingent on the trolley and he would explain everything in English and Chinese (?) We had great conversation with Tim while we waited for the trolley!

Fantastic tour and guide - We were only a party of 2 and were lucky to get a private tour. Kevin was a fantastic guide. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. As a Ketchikan resident, his knowledge of the area shows in the information he shared with us. We greatly enjoyed our tour and thought it was the best of our entire cruise! We would definitely book again with Ketchikan Expeditions.

Great tour - We were upgraded to a van when we got to the meeting place. That was unexpected. Our tour guide was not originally from the area, but so very knowledgeable! We totally enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it!

Would definitely book again! - Our cruise ship changed the time we bad to be back on the boat and we would have cut it too close...they were extremely accommodating and started a bit early, got us thru the entire trip and dropped us back by the shuttle bus to be sure we made it on time. Christopher was very entertaining and knowledgeable.

Trip cancelled due to bad weather - Unfortunately having travelled all the way from the UK bad weather meant that the ship could not dock in Ketchikan… we were only given short notice and therefore were unable to cancel our booking within the 24 hours … very disappointed at losing hard earned money and even more not being able to visit Ketchikan.
