Reed was knowlegeable and passionate about the history of Sitka, AK. He provided us with water and snacks along the way. He informed us about the types of berries we could taste along the hike. He was fantastic & I highly recommend a tour with Reed!

Beautiful city and wonderful tour guide! Reid (the guide) provided an excellent experience and was a fun and knowledgeable way to see SE Alaska's beautiful environment. I'd recommend this for anyone who is visiting Sitka including cruise ship passengers. If you're there in season, try the salmonberries right off the bush if you find them along the trail. And ask the guide lots of questions! Thanks Reid!!
