I took a tour - from a cruise ship - with Sitka Tours to the Alaska Raptor Center, Totem Park, and the Bear Fortress. Our tour guide was fantastic! They loaded the bus early with two people missing. The driver told the staff at the pier that he would be right back for the other two. He hopped on the bus and we took off. He had seen wild bears feeding on his way in and wanted to share that with us. The bears were gone but we got to see the salmon running. Something we would not have seen if he hadn't taken us early. We went back to the pier but the two were still missing so we went on with the tour. The driver was very informative about life in Sitka. He gave us a good understanding of how life is there, a small town on an island, where everybody knows everybody. Our driver was also the school bus driver and the mortuary driver as well as doing tours. He answered all our questions and kept us right on time. Sitka was my favorite stop and he was the BEST tour guide I had. I am ashamed to say that I didn't write down his name but I wanted to give him a big shout out for giving a great time and for his honesty! I lost my wallet on his bus and he returned it to me with all contents intact. read more
