Stop looking, just book it! My wife and I love to travel, and we try to do a walking tour everywhere we go. This tour was the best we’ve done - all thanks to our two amazing guides. We spent nearly 3 hours with Terry and Judy and left feeling like lifelong friends. Their energy and passion for this town are contagious. We laughed our way through the older parts of Ketchikan and stopped at some fun and historic bars. The only downside of the tour was having to get back on our cruise ship. A 10/10 experience that we would book again in a heartbeat!

Incredible tour of authentic local bars off the beaten path. Great individual attention, and made sure we knew where to go to enjoy the rest of our day in Port. They also took photos of us at each spot so we could remember each stop

Terry of Terry’s Tours is a magnificent person. Conversation flowed easily between us. Good thing because I was a solo traveler and nervous as heck. He could have easily canceled as I was the only person that booked his tour that morning. The one on one attention was a bonus.

Terry was a fantastic guide, shared so many stories and experiences felt like we got to know the real Alaska, he recommended and we tried many top ales, amazing unknown locations, would highly recommend and we will definitely be getting in touch with Terry when we return.

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.

History of the locations visited. Enjoyable if it were not for the rain and cold. Guides were very knowledgeable and fun.
