Lawerence was great guide - quick stops but still enough time to see everything. Overall, fun and amazing to see the bears and eagles up close!

This was my family's first trip to Alaska and I wanted to find a good tour that would give them a good overview of Alaska and Sitka in particular. This tour fulfilled both of my desires. The tour started and ended at the appropriate time. My family really enjoyed the bear preserve and were able to get several good photos. A good time was had by all.

This tour was perfect to get a taste of life in Sitka, while visiting different places to get a feel for the history and nature of the area! Our tour guide, Tamsyn was very informative as to life in Sitka - being a local herself. Tamsyn went above and beyond to make sure all participants were comfortable and provided participants with answers to any questions we had. Tamsyn also made plenty of recommendations along the way for other things to see and places to eat while we were in town! Great tour if you’re looking for a little insight to local life in Sitka, while taking in beautiful sights!
