Terry and Judy were so much fun. 90 min is not long enough with these 2 individuals. We would love to spend a day with them showing us around. We only had a certain amount of time in port and we used every bit of it with them. So so much fun. Hope to do it again some day.

We meet Terry and Judy at the port and they took us to 3 of Ketchikan's oldest bars (The Arctic Bar, The Sourdough Bar and The Potlatch) while along the way sharing, showing and telling us stories of Ketchikan's origins and history. At each stop we got to enjoy a tasty alcoholic beverage and each one may have been more delicious than the last. Terry and Judy and clearly two individuals who love what they do, and it shows in their enthusiasm, fun nature and the knowledge and appreciation that they have for their city. It was a remarkable walking tour that could be handled by most able bodied adults. It was supposed to be only 90 minutes, but we cleared just over 2 hours, and their company and story telling was all worth it.

This was by far one of the best "tours" we have ever been on. I am using quotation marks because never once did we feel like a tourist. Terry & Judy are like old friends who happen to be in town & know all the best spots :) d using gooNot only were the beers and bars the best, we got a fantastic walk around Ketchikan that I would have never found using Google Maps. Thank you, Terry & Judy!
