The vans are nearly new, if not new. She is a great mother hen to keep everyone gathered together without any fuss, a splendid experience. This seems like a small and local tour operator that had a few vans driven by immediate family, this is where I really enjoy spending my money. Ann Marie gave us a true locals tour along with anecdotes from her time living here as well, giving us an alleviation for what it's truly like living in a version of paradise, much appreciated! When done back to Alaska and Sitka, will make sure to take this tour, or any other tour, they offer.

Using Martin's Taxi & Tours was the right choice for us for many reasons. We arrived by cruise…read moreship, Michelle picked us up from the cruise port, which meant we didn't have to wait for a crowded bus ride to town. Since we got off in the morning hours, this also put us in front of all the crowds to visit Fortress of the Bear. Michelle also took us to places that the cruise line tours don't go. Since she lives in Sitka, she can show you and tell you many things that those big bus driver's cannot. She took us to places where we could get great photos and see areas that were clear of people, showed us different neighborhoods and areas of town, this made for such a nice relaxing morning. Michelle then dropped us off downtown so we could walk around and do a little shopping. We wound up taking the bus back to the cruse port. Michelle can take you back to the cruise port though, if you choose. She is very flexible and will work with you to provide the type of tour that will work for you. What I liked most about this tour is that my dollars when to support the local economy and Michelle also gave us some tips on who we could purchase items from that would also support the local economy and people. If you are on the fence about booking, it's worth every penny to book Michelle for your own private tour of the island. You won't regret it.
