Informative
Brock our guide was great and bery knowledgeable. My only adice is that I wouldnt call this an ebike tour really. The biking just consisted of riding along the road for some short sections and I was expecting a bit more.

Good morning, thank you for spending your day in Ketchikan with us and taking the time to leave constructive feedback! The length of our ride in between guided stops on our 2.5 hour tour is dictated by time and safety for our guests. Regarding the safety aspect, we choose to ride along the dedicated bike path instead of taking our guests down highway to share the lane with vehicle traffic travelling 50 MPH. We also do our best to offer a longer ride in exchange for skipping one of the guided stops. Thanks again and have a blessed day!
