What a wonderful experience. Very engaging. What a beautiful culture. The dances, stories and art was absolutely fantastic. Learning about their culture was truly fascinating. Everyone we met was very nice. Especially Joe who was the first part of our tour.

Joe and Lee are amazing!! Engaging, knowledge and Joe kept me transfixed when telling his history and the history of the sax man village. I had goose bumps when Joe spoke about the wolves. Fiid was SO good. Seriously. Loved it all. Definitely a must when in Ketchikan.

One of the highlights of a weeklong trip to Alaksa. Our guide Arnold was great --knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic. It was the first time we were able to experience real indigenous culture including the highlights of the communal dance performance and totem pole carving workshop. My only complaint was that we did not have enough time as scheduled by the cruise shore excursion. I would have liked to spend more time in the village and expansive gift shop featuring native works of art. etc. and not jus the usual cheap souvenirs. But this was a fun excursion infused with a glimpse into the lives of the real inhabitants of Ketchikan.

Tour was arranged by tour group leader for cruise - wonderful choice! Demonstration of native dances from many tribes was fun and colorful, though explanation of symbols on the robes would have been nice. Arnold was very knowledgeable at describing the totem carvings and native history. Nice to meet contemporary totem carvers!

This was the only place we saw in Ketchikan as 5 Cruise ships were in port at the same time. Saxman was interesting but rushed, obviously to accomodate the Tourists coming there for the day. The story about the Totem poles was good the Guide very knowledgeable. A little overpriced for the time spend there.

Did the tour from Celebrity as part of the Alaskan cruise. Really interesting tour about the native people, great dance performance, tour of the totem pole workshop to see the master craftsmen and explanation of all the totem poles and their history. There is also a nice little gift shop - all set in a lovely location. Big thank you to Arnold our guide who was wonderful - very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Thank you.

We visited several different ports on a cruise through the inside passage, and Ketchikan was by far the best. Very cute little town, lots of great shops with works from local native artisans, and some good dining options. Highly recommend visiting the Saxman native village to learn about the long history of the native tribes, their customs and the whys and hows of totem poles. Super interesting!
