Enlightening Tour - The tour gave a good intro to the culture and lifestyle in Yellowknife. Our tour guides were friendly and personable. They pointed out interesting highlights of the town and were very interactive with the group as they're guided us through the museums and legislative building. The tour was informative and enjoyable.

City Tour with Added Bonus - Well organized tour. It seems like all the tours go to all the same places - Pilot Monument, the Visitor Center, the Legislative Building and the Prince of Wales Museum. My only criticism was I wish I had more time at the Prince of Wales Museum. It is really nice museum. I’m not sure but I think this is the only tour that goes to the Nature’s North Wildlife Gallery and that is why this city tour costs a little more than the rest. But the wildlife gallery is amazing and it was worth the extra cost! It is a world class and apparently award winning duo who are experts in taxidermy. The animals are artistically and beautifully mounted. Every single species of all the animals that habitat the NWT is in this shop. I learned a lot of to art of taxidermy and we were able to feel the different animal pelts.

Spectacular adventure! - We had an amazing time. We did a tour of the city and watched the northern lights on the Indigenous territory. The staff made us very comfortable and did everything possible to help us have a great experience. Shoutout to Saxton for helping take some great photos of us under the Aurora. The team was all fantastic. Great trip!

Unforgettable Tour with Unforgettablel Verda😊😊 - It was a lovely and amazing tour. Verda is very knowledgeable about the history of Yellowknife, even small details no one paid attention to☺️ but worth knowing. She took her time describing and explaining about the displays in the gallery, Council Chamber, the old town, and so on. She also took us to a taxidermist gallery as an extra treat. Thank you, Verda! Your hospitality is much appreciated.

Unmatchable services - Two groups of my friends highly recommended this tour company to me. I was so glad that I listened to them and joined their 4D3N tour from Sep 21-24. The exceptional services provided by owner C.K., his daughter Verda, staff members Renee, Janet and Iris were extremely impressive. Especially Verda. She went above and beyond to make sure we did not miss any activities listed in the itinerary; even sacrificing her own break time. Their Aurora Station was the best place to enjoy the dancing aurora show. We were so lucky to be able to see the strong light movements that night. At the station, we could stay downstairs to enjoy tasty soup made by Verda, sat down at ease in a cozy room (with nice washroom!); or stay on the roof level grabbing every opportunity to see the aurora peeping out from time to time. Another wonderful thing which I believe no other tour company could have done is, they would make sure you go to different restaurants during your stay, and let you order your own dishes!! I have been traveling with various tour groups. They always decide and pre-order foods within their budget. I have a strong feeling that Yellowknife Tours has the heart to promote Yellowknife's tourism. They put visitors interest in front of their profits. I have no hesitation to recommend "Yellowknife Tours Co."

A memorable and enjoyable experience in Yellowknife - The tour is meticulously organized and guided by experienced, friendly and helpful staff. The Sky Dome was no longer in business yet they replaced it with another museum. It is about the display of replica of 60 kinds of animal available in Northern Canada. The tour guide gave us detailed explanations on the Ing’s we saw and answered our questions or queries in details. His performance is just beyond our expectation. We in fact joined a 3 nights 4 days tour. We also had the same experience in other activities arranged. What a wonderful holidays in Yellowknife especially we could view magnificent Aurora light in one evening. What an unforgettable experience. I have no hesitation to recommend this Company to any person who demands exceptional services.
