So much fun! Our tour guide was a local and told us all about the town and the stories around the totem poles. It was a great cultural experience and would love to do it again.

Do not choose this tour if you want to go to state park to see totem poles. City tour was fine but extremely disappointed when driver took us to commercialized totem area instead. Viator did a good job on replying to my complaint though.

I never knew there was so much history carved on the totem poles. The guides did an excellent ob explaining the stories told by the poles. Time well spent !!
