The adventure begins with a guided walk and trolley tour through the historic Creek Street. One of the highlights of this trip is a quick photo stop at the Saxman Native Village. Be sure to check out their Stately totems and browse through the local gift shop.

If you're interested in spending any amount of time at the Saxman Native Village I would make different arrangements. There was no "guided walk" through historic Creek Street.

Jul 2019 - Malcolm B.
We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on this particular trip and so and the undivided attention of our guide/driver. He was very knowledgeable and provided loads of information of interest throughout the trip. We had a tour around the town and a visit to the totem pole village both of which were fascinating.

The only place of real interest was the totem pole carving. The rest of the tour was a quick drive through neighborhoods on a rather uncomfortable vehicle.

This is a quick way to find the points of interest and return to them later.
Driver knows the town and very patience to answer questions.
Thanks
