Summary: We wanted to book a shorter excursion in Ketchikan to give us time to wander around the city on our own, and this was a perfect way to start our time there. Our tour went to three different pubs within a reasonable walking distance from the docks, and our tour guide Hamish gave us some interesting history of the city and some of the more famous characters. He also gave us some good recommendations for lunch and other things to see.

Summary: This was the BEST pub/bar tour I've ever been on. Our tour guide, Austin, was very knowledgeable about the history in Ketchikan. He was fun and perfect for my group of friends. We went to 3 local places and all were a very short walk between.
