This is the worst tour I’ve done. We did a 7 day Alaska cruise with tours. We should of done a one hour tour. Why they take you to a hospital to see things.

Thank you for your review. I am so sorry you were unhappy with the Alaska Native Hospital which houses the largest private collection of Native Art in the State of Alaska. Out of our 1,800 guest we have had this season we have had only one complaint about this part of the tour. Your tour also included a trip to the Ulu Factory, Ship Creek to view salmon coming up stream with wall to wall fisherpersons, The 1964 - - 9.2 Earthquake exhibits, The underground house, Earthquake Park, Wildberry Products and you sampled four types of smoked salmon, halibut and reindeer sausage. I wish your review was a little more constructive so we could improve on performance. As it stands it appears you just did not like the Native Hospital which is an award winning hospital in terms of service levels and architectural design plus is 100 percent Native owned and operated - - it will remain on our tour. The positives far outweigh the negatives.

sharing several stories of the community along with standard tour details. Plenty of time at the various stops to enjoy the attractions.

We enjoyed this tour. Several stops around the city, combined with a lively narrative from our driver, Tyler, made this a rather enjoyable tour. It was nice to get a local's perspective, combined with history.
