Awesome tour and the guide was excellent. He took us to all the "out of the way" spots to get the best photos. He was very knowlegable about the area, history and photography. Too bad it was raining the whole trip, but we made the most of it.

Mikki, our guide, gave helpful hints to take exceptional photos at the interesting locations on the tour. The highlight was visiting the Potlach Park with its colourful totems and meeting houses! She was patient with the varied level of expertise amongst members of our group providing suggestions in a subtle way and encouraging our results. A top notch introduction to the area as well!

We had a wonderful time on this tour, and despite the rain, were able to get some great shots of downtown Ketchikan and Potlatch Park. Our tour guide, Matt was knowledgeable of all things Alaska, and also provided us with hot coffee and delicious cookies which was much appreciated!
