Drink where the locals drink!

The weather wasn’t controlled by Elizabeth but I’ll give her credit anyways. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day in Ketchikan and a wonderful local guide to walk us around. It was awesome to have a native guide with more than a few stories to tell about the bar scene (previous experience included). We visited local spots and had a choice of cocktails or beer at each. Highly recommend this short walking tour to get your bearings.

Great Way to Get to Know Ketchikan

A fun way to see Ketchikan, learn about the past and absorb some local culture. Noranna did a great job! She was fun and interesting. I’d be delighted to have her as a guide again! So nice to meet a native Ketchikaner!

Great tour, went by way too fast!

Conor was a fun tour guide! Took to three great “dive” bars and gave us the history of each. I would do this again, we had a fun group and lots of laughs. Wish it was a little longer though.

Fun time at pub crawl

Joined the pub crawl during cruise stop in Ketchikan. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, learning a bit of history of the town while enjoying a few drinks. Austin was a great guide, sharing stories and local lore. We stopped at Sourdough, Totem and Artic bars. There were beer and cocktail options at each. It was a casual and fun experience where I got to meet a few fellow cruisers that I saw the rest of the trip. I’d definitely join again and recommend to others!

Yummy drinks and a delightful tour guide. We had a small group of six, which made it more intimate as if with friends

A great short excursion

We wanted to book a shorter excursion in Ketchikan to give us time to wander around the city on our own, and this was a perfect way to start our time there. Our tour went to three different pubs within a reasonable walking distance from the docks, and our tour guide Hamish gave us some interesting history of the city and some of the more famous characters. He also gave us some good recommendations for lunch and other things to see.
