Our tour guide, Deanna, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information along the way. We got a good overall feel for Sitka! I especially loved the fortress of the Bears. It was so interesting seeing the Bears close up and observing their behaviors!

We had been looking forward to this tour for a long time & unfortunately have had to cancel as the cruise line is no longer visiting due to the virus! Contacted Sitka sightseeing & was refunded in full within minutes, great service & a lot faster than anyone else. Hope to visit in the future, best of luck to them at this difficult time.

Maria our driver was knowledgeable and gave a lot of information about the area. Fortressof the bear is a must see. This tour does not cover the Raptor recovery center which is worth a stop as well.

Hi Ellen, We do offer a PREMIUM tour that includes the Raptor Center but that tour sells out FAST! We appreciate you leaving a review for us. I'm glad you enjoyed Maria's tour.
