Great personalized tour! - Very personalized tour of Ketchikan! Judy and Terry were amazing! Full of interesting information on Ketchikan and fun. We only had our family on the tour which was extra special. Highly recommend booking this tour. Met us right at the cruise ship dock so super easy.

Worth doing if time is short - Terry the guide was on time and very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area, we had a few pints with locals and time to chat a little, Terry took a few photos of us on route which was nice, but as yet we have not received copies as promised, shame !

Must book - It was a great one on one experience with someone who was a local. Better than a group experience. Knew the history of the area and the good bars

Terry’s Boozing & Cruising Tour - What a fun and experience this turned out to be. Terry and Judy are absolutely delightful as well as incredible tour guides. One of our foursome had major health and mobility issues and we were concerned about his participating, but we shouldn’t have worried about it. Terry and Judy quickly adjusted the tour to ensure that our friend was able to participate to the fullest extent. Their thoughtfulness, inclusiveness and kindness ensured that our friend had a wonderful experience. If you are ever in Ketchikan be sure to book one of Jerry and Judy’s tours. I promise you will not be disappointed.

A great time!! - The Cruisin’ and Boozin’ tour was a great time. We loved going to the various local bars and learning the history of the town. It was an experience that equaled hanging out with a couple of our favorite friends. Don’t miss this opportunity, it’s well worth it!

A great way to experience Ketchikan - Terry and his wife were an amazing wealth of knowledge and just a joy to connect with and spend time with learning about Ketchikan. I would highly recommend taking this tour to see and learn about the area highlights and local culture.

An enjoyable excursion tour. - Tour guides Terry and Judy were very nice people and made the experience more enjoyable. They communicated well with us ahead of the tour as our cruise ship schedule change and were able to start earlier than planned as we’re flexible with our group as we added two more people last minute. We happened to be in Ketchikan on July 4th so there was a lot going on that day with the town parade etc. The town bars and sites we visited were very busy and quite loud that day which made it hard to hear about some of the history behind each location. I would like to have given a little higher rating and would recommend the tour and I didn’t give it 5 stars as we would have liked a little more on the history and would recommend more of a tilt in that direction as the tour starts. Overall very enjoyable, interesting places to visit and fairly easy walk around the town. Ketchikan was our favorite cruise port and appreciate Terry and Judy for helping make our day in port a fun time.
